Libby Proctor is a Licensed Acupuncturist and nationally board-certified herbalist passionate about holistic health and wellness. She holds a Master of Science degree from Pacific College in Chicago, IL, and a Bachelor of Science degree from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL.
Libby’s journey into Chinese medicine began serendipitously when a gua sha treatment for a severe cold provided rapid and astonishing relief. This transformative experience reignited her passion for healing and revealed the missing piece she felt lacked in the current medical model — a holistic approach that aligns body, mind, and soul and an immediate sense of relief, wellness, and hope.
With over 15 years of diverse clinical experience, Libby has worked in a variety of settings, including Project Vida (a community health center in Chicago) and a leading Chicagoland rheumatology clinic. She also led her own private practice in Wicker Park before relocating to Virginia Beach to support her husband’s military career. There, she further honed her expertise while working at the Edgar Cayce Association for Research and Enlightenment and JenCare Senior Medical Center, a medical center serving seniors where she offered acupuncture to complement their medical care and taught Tai Chi to the patients.
Libby seamlessly bridges Eastern and Western healing paradigms, offering compassionate, individualized care that empowers her patients to achieve true wellness. In addition to acupuncture and herbal medicine, she integrates other modalities such as electrical stimulation, gua sha, moxibustion, mindfulness practices, breathwork, nutritional and lifestyle coaching, energy work, and other tools to help her patients achieve balance and lasting well-being.
A lifelong learner and dedicated healer, Libby is also a certified Reiki Master and practitioner of New Paradigm Multi-Dimensional Transformation (NPMDT). She is deeply inspired by personal and spiritual development work, creative expression, and the healing power of nature.
When she’s not in the clinic, Libby can be found exploring the outdoors, creating art, or sharing laughter and delicious meals with her family and friends. As a mom of three young children, she strives to bring empathy, wisdom, presence, and authenticity to every facet of her work and life.
James Pedersen, LAc, DiplAc
James Pedersen is a licensed acupuncturist and is board certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and a member of the Illinois Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ILAAOM). He graduated with honors from the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine in Chicago, which is one of the first established and accredited acupuncture colleges in the country.
Jim’s interest in Chinese Medicine began while studying the various martial arts of TaeKwon-Do, Tang Soo Do, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong. Watching many martial artists, including a few renown masters, control their energy, and the energy of others; Jim began to see the incredible power of the body, mind, and spirit. In Chinese Medicine, the body, mind, and spirit are at the core of healing. Jim has always been a believer in the body’s own capacity to heal and acupuncture proved to be an effective form of therapy that encouraged that natural healing process without negative side effects. After experiencing the powerful effects of acupuncture first hand, he decided to make a career change to become an acupuncturist in order help others experience the benefits of this incredible healing art.
The approach Jim uses in treating his patients is both individualistic and holistic. He carefully develops a clear, concise evaluation of each patient’s overall health by asking them questions, listening to them, watching them, and feeling their radial pulse. From this, a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses the presenting complaint and the root cause of the condition is developed. He uses not only acupuncture but also other traditional techniques within the scope of Chinese Medicine to effectively treat a wide range of conditions that stem from both physical and emotional imbalances. In addition, he believes in providing his patients with the necessary tools and information needed to take a proactive role in their own health. By counseling patients in diet, exercise, lifestyle, and awareness and relaxation techniques, effective and lasting results are achieved.
On a more personal note, Jim is the father of three incredible boys, and the husband of a loving wife who helps provide his strength and vision.

Sandy’s mission is to guide and support you on your journey to holistic health and wellness. With more than 23 years of hands-on healing experience, she blends a variety of spiritual and scientifically informed modalities—ranging from CranioSacral Therapy and Reiki to Crystal Healing, guided imagery, and insights from neuroplasticity research—to help you achieve harmony in every area of your life.
A Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) since childhood, Sandy has always been aware of the subtle energies around her. Her own experiences healing from anxiety, depression, and chronic pain taught her that hope and healing are always possible—even if they don’t arrive in the same form for everyone. Because of this, Sandy believes in meeting each client exactly where they are, tailoring every session to individual needs.
What to Expect in a Session:
You’ll lie fully clothed on a comfortable massage table while Sandy gently places her hands on different areas of your body (nothing awkward, promise!). Many clients like to set an intention for their session—whether that’s releasing old patterns, addressing specific concerns, or simply being open to whatever unfolds. The process is deeply relaxing, and people often experience relief they didn’t realize they needed until it naturally arises during the session.
Sandy is passionate about helping others and creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can rediscover your inner light, tap into your body’s natural ability to heal, and leave feeling renewed—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Let’s walk this path together and reconnect with who you really are.
