Acupuncturist + Herbalist
SPECIALTIES
Intuitive Energy Healing, Life Guidance, Stress Manifestations in the body
For the last 25 years, Christie has been a teacher and healer whose intention is to guide patients back to themselves. She uses intuitive energy work to connect you back to your body, as most physical symptoms can be a call to connect more deeply into the self. This deeper connection to your body works as a guide that can activate greater wisdom, inner knowing, intuition, and awareness to how you interact with the world around you, your relationships, your work, and with your ability to create in this world in a way that is true to your heart. True healing is about reclaiming yourself and your wholeness.
Virtual and in-person sessions can be a blend of energy work, meditation, Taoist stone medicine, herbs, nutraceuticals, awareness/intuition and energy training, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and others tools to activate the body and assist in flow. If in-person, she may also use acupuncture as a tool for calibration, if desired.
Christie has a Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine and is National Board certified in acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She also studied acupuncture in Japan under the direction of Nakao Sunsae, was an apprentice to herbal master Dr. Zhengang Guo in Chicago, and interned with John Pirog.

Zia Gardner
Clinic Manager
Lymphatic Enhancement Therapist
Zia has been a part of the Source team since 2022. Her fervor for learning about different healing approaches from diverse cultures, inspired by her early years in the Caribbean, led her to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Cultural Anthropology from Southern Connecticut State University.

Zia's interest in healthcare led her to gain experience in different parts of the medical field, from environmental services in a hospital, to years as a pharmacy tech, and most recently in a home health agency. Through her own healing journey, she found Qi Gong and Traditional Chinese Medicine, which has furthered both her understanding of the human body and spirit and its healing processes. This inspired her to become Reiki Level 1 and a certified Lymphatic Enhancement Therapist.
