Demers Acupuncture Live Vibrantly

Meet Isabel

Isabel received her Master’s of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MAOM) from the New England School of Acupuncture, the oldest acupuncture school in the United States. She is licensed and board-certified (NCCAOM) to practice Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Maine. Isabel’s gentle acupuncture style draws from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Japanese acupuncture, and Kiiko Matsumoto style of acupuncture.   Working in a variety of healthcare settings, from hospitals to community to private settings, Isabel has developed the ability to design comfortable and effective treatments to suit the individual needs of all her patients from infancy through our life long evolution. Isabel incorporates her background of Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy, Western herbalism, integrative health coaching (from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition), nutrition, psychology, and humanities to address each individual as a whole, focusing on a strong foundation to foster each person’s full potential for health. Isabel has been dedicated to honoring this complete medical system of Chinese Medicine that is over two thousand years old through the Eight Branches of Chinese Medicine that are used to stimulate the body’s inherent ability to heal.

The Eight Branches of Chinese Medicine:
1. Meditation
2. Exercise
3. Nutrition
4. Cosmology/Astrology
5. Feng Shui
6. Bodywork
7. Herbology
8. Acupuncture

Isabel has served as the secretary for the New Hampshire Acupuncture and Asian Medicine Board, and the treasurer of the Maine Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Board.  She continues her studies with her mentors as well as through continuing education opportunities to continually be at the forefront of what acupuncture, health coaching, and herbal medicine can offer her patients.  Isabel is currently completing her doctorate studies at Pacific College of Health and Science.
