Dr. Mary Lewis, LAc

Mary S. Lewis, DAcCHM, L.Ac.—affectionately known as Dr. Lew—holds licensure as an Acupuncture Physician and earned a doctorate with a specialization in Chinese Herbal Medicine. She founded Nubian Charm Acupuncture & Wellness to provide restorative, results-driven care rooted in traditional wisdom and cultural alignment.

​

Favoring the Balance Method, auricular acupuncture, and minimal-needle strategies, Dr. Lew gently but powerfully encourages the body’s natural intelligence to reroute itself toward equilibrium. Her signature approach pairs precision with compassion, whether working with needle-sensitive patients or those seeking fast, focused relief. She also specializes in TuiNa muscle manipulation, cupping for both physical and emotional release, and Acupoint Injection Therapy for targeted healing.

​

In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Lew created the Integrative Study Method™, a strategy-rich educational system designed to help acupuncture students master the medicine and pass licensing exams with confidence. Her teaching blends academic structure with energetic intuition, guiding future practitioners through layered study and clinical reasoning.

​

Now pursuing a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM), Dr. Lew’s current research centers on the lymphatic system, blood deficiency, and her evolving model of Reflexive Healing™—a concept that invites the body to instinctively respond rather than react. Through her clinical care, educational offerings, and thought leadership, she continues to champion diversity, embodiment, and ancestral wisdom in East Asian medicine.
