Black Pine Holistic Healing
Melissa Dana, LAc CMT

Acupuncturist

In Chinese medicine, black is the color of the Kidneys, root of all life, symbol of Water, mother of Wood. Pine, green year-round, is the exemplary symbol of life flourishing. Together, Japanese Black Pine, a bonsai, reminds us of the beauty that comes from all life well tended. Patience, love, attentiveness, awareness are all in the kindness we must bring to ourselves in healing.

Our mission is to envisioning a community comprised of unique individuals co-creatively responding to their experience with joy, love, and compassion, Melissa believes active patient participation is integral to the healing process. She encourages self-empowering education, reflection, and practice in addition to treatment. Read more

    Melissa has changed my life! She's very calming and intuitive and always creates a safe space for me to explore my issues. Melissa goes above and beyond each and every visit. There is always a follow up email, and often she suggests websites or provides readings to help me with my journey. I truly believe through Reiki she is helping me to find the best version of myself.

    I came to see Melissa for my ganglion cysts that were causing pain when using my hand like push ups, lifting weights etc. After 4 sessions, my pain is completely gone. This was my first time getting an acupuncture treatment.

    ... I was very impressed with Melissa. She treated me not just as a client but as a friend. I never felt rushed, she was very easy to talk, she never made me wait and she was even understanding with my ignorance/skepticism about acupuncture.

    I highly recommend her and if the cyst comes back, I'll definitely go to her again.

    I have two words to express my thoughts on Melissa at Black Pine - Game Changer! This was my first experience with Reiki and I now see Melissa on a regular basis. I was a little nervous on my first visit, just not really knowing what Reiki was about - and Melissa quickly put me at ease. She's very calming and intuitive. She always seems to be able to get to the core of why I've come in on a particular day - even when I wasn't sure of the reason! Melissa has created such a safe space for me to explore my issues. ... She is a consummate professional and I've seen measurable results in my life. I would recommend her to anyone - and have recommended her to anyone who will listen! I truly believe she is helping me to find the best version of myself.

    Melissa is hands down the best acupuncturist to go to. I have been to several others in the past and have stuck with her for well over a year. She is caring and is a great listener. I always feel so much better every time I leave. I am so happy to find someone I am comfortable with and can trust.
