Ancient wisdom meets deep energetic healing at Hawthorn Healing Arts
If you’re looking for a healing experience that goes beyond the physical—to address emotional blocks, spiritual disconnection, or a sense of being “stuck”—Shamanic Acupuncture may be the path for you.
At Hawthorn Healing Arts, licensed acupuncturist David Watts, LAc offers 90-minute sessions that combine the therapeutic power of acupuncture with the sacred, ceremonial elements of shamanic healing. These deeply intuitive sessions invite you to explore not only the root causes of physical symptoms, but also the energetic and spiritual imbalances behind them.
David brings decades of experience in both traditional and esoteric healing, offering a calm and grounded presence for those seeking real transformation. His work is ideal for those on a healing journey—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—and especially supportive for empaths, seekers, or anyone moving through major life transitions.
What is Shamanic Acupuncture?
Shamanic Acupuncture is a unique healing modality that weaves together the ancient principles of traditional Chinese medicine with core shamanic practices found across cultures. These sessions are designed not only to relieve symptoms, but to bring the body, mind, and spirit into deeper alignment.
Core Elements of a Session:
- Acupuncture: Fine needles are inserted at specific points on the body to open energy channels, balance internal systems, and support physical healing.
- Ritual & Ceremony: David may begin with sacred practices such as smudging with sage, invoking the directions, or using drumming or rattles to create a protected, intentional healing space.
- Energy Work: Sessions often include hands-on or intuitive energy healing to help clear blockages, realign energy fields, and facilitate grounding.
- Shamanic Journeying or Guided Visualization: You may be invited into a light meditative or visionary state, guided to connect with inner wisdom, power animals, or spiritual allies for insight, guidance, and release.
Each session is unique and personalized—designed in the moment based on your needs, your energy, and what arises in the healing space.
What Can Shamanic Acupuncture Help With?
Clients seek out Shamanic Acupuncture for a wide range of reasons:
- Chronic pain and physical tension
- Anxiety, depression, or emotional overwhelm
- Feeling disconnected, burnt out, or spiritually lost
- Navigating grief, trauma, or major life changes
- Creative or personal blockages
The goal of this work is not only symptom relief—but also wholeness, clarity, and reconnection with your own inner healing intelligence.
What to Expect
A Shamanic Acupuncture session with David typically lasts 90 minutes. The space is quiet, intentional, and free of distractions. Many people describe the experience as grounding, centering, and emotionally freeing. Some leave with physical relief, others with unexpected clarity or emotional release. Often, the effects continue to unfold for days or weeks after the session.
David also offers a Massage & Acupuncture combo session, which includes a 55-minute therapeutic massage followed by 30 minutes of acupuncture—a powerful way to relax both body and energy system in one session.
