Sheila Guarnagia, M.Ac., L.Ac., Dipl.Ac., Dipl.C.H., holds a B.A. in Biology from Smith College, a Master of Acupuncture from the New England School of Acupuncture, and completed a three year program in Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine.  Sheila is certified by the NCCAOM as a Diplomate in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology. She has worked and published in the fields of ecological and medical research and completed over 4 years as an apprentice home birth midwife in Arizona.  Since 2004 she has studied and incorporated Appalachian Folk Medicine and Traditional Western Herbal Medicine into her healing arts practice. In 2018 Sheila completed the Eagle Condor Council Healing Intensive and stepped into training to become a teacher and lineage carrier of this traditional Andean Spiritual Healing modality. Sheila has also completed training in initiation in the Teqse Nust’a Qarpay, the lineage that serves, transmits, and strengthens our connection to the Feminine Healing Forces of Nature as taught by the Nust’a Paqos of Q’eros and Elizabeth Jenkins, Suzannah Tebbe Davis, and Ellen Kittredge. Sheila’s exploration of these vital, ancient, essential streams of knowledge continues as she seeks to integrate and weave together the deepest essences of these enlightened wisdom traditions of our Ancestors.

From Sheila’s website – “Transformation of discomforts, “dis-ease”, and difficulties into the deepest resonance of wholeness requires a holistic approach that honors, aligns, and weaves together all the elements that compose us. Too often symptoms are treated or managed to silence the Self rather than to address the well-being of the whole person.  Our experience of wellness and wholeness must include the integration of experiences of all kinds – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual – to contribute to our maximum blossoming.

For these reasons it is my commitment to you to assist you in discovering the whole picture of your state of dynamic balance.  Recognition of the innate and intimate connection between all aspects of your Self, your constitutional tendencies, the influences of your lifestyle on your wellness, and greater awareness of your interdependence with the natural world and the Nature Beings will inspire you on the adventure of profound wholeness which is yours if you desire.  The ancient peoples of Asia called this Tao, the essential principle of being in harmony both within and without.”
