Shannon Conrad, LAC

Hello! I’m Shannon Conrad, a licensed acupuncturist and state-licensed psilocybin facilitator. My journey into the healing arts began in 2007, and I have dedicated my career to exploring the intricate balance of the mind, body, and spirit through various holistic practices. I am particularly fascinated by the Chinese medical conception of this balance, and I have witnessed the incredible transformations that can occur through the use of acupuncture, moxa, and herbal therapies. I hold a master's degree in Five-Element Acupuncture from the Tai Sophia Institute in Laurel, Maryland, and I also have a master's degree in Chinese Studies from Columbia University and the Johns Hopkins University SAIS-Nanjing Center. I graduated from Inner Trek, and have been a licensed psilocybin facilitator since 2024. In my practice, I specialize in treating mental and emotional disorders, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and OCD, as well as addressing acute and chronic pain. I find immense fulfillment in helping individuals navigate their healing journeys. My interest in plant medicine and psilocybin facilitation developed organically from my experiences assisting people in integrating challenging psychedelic trips. I offer acupuncture as part of my preparation and integration process, allowing my clients to harness the full spectrum of their experiences for growth and healing. I am passionate about volunteering my time on various health-related and sports-related boards of directors. I believe that community engagement is vital, and I enjoy contributing to causes that promote well-being and active lifestyles. When I'm not working, you can find me traveling to new destinations, enjoying live music, exploring new restaurants, or spending quality time with my husband, two kids, and our hyperactive black lab. As I continue on my journey in the healing arts, I remain committed to fostering a safe and supportive environment for those seeking healing, growth, and balance in their lives. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me, and I look forward to connecting with you!
