Tess Bradley, L.Ac.

Tess Bradley is a licensed acupuncturist in Tennessee and a Nationally Board Certified Acupuncturist holding a Diplomat status with the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

Her journey towards studying the healing arts started after earning her B.S. from the University of Tennessee in Hotel and Tourism Management and Business in 2010. This degree led her to manage hostels and non-profit organizations in the US and Latin America. While managing an environmental non-profit in Nicaragua in 2013, she contracted dengue fever which forever altered her life path. Tess began receiving acupuncture, which became the only thing that helped her pain and energy level.

After returning to the US, she moved to Asheville, NC, and spent six years assisting and apprenticing under some of the top acupuncturists in the region. Inspired by the amazing results she witnessed, Tess went on to earn her Master’s Diploma from the Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine in 2018.

Over the past several years in practice, Tess has taken continuing education courses in women’s health, pain management, herbal medicine and cosmetic acupuncture. Tess uses a variety of styles when treating pain including electrical stimulation and the Balance Method. Influenced by her pregnancy journey and the birth of her daughters, combined with her continuing education, Tess became very interested in the role that Chinese Medicine can play in fertility, women’s health, pregnancy support, and postpartum well-being.

Tess treats a diverse spectrum of conditions, including but not limited to, pain management, hormonal imbalances, pregnancy related conditions, postpartum related conditions, menopause, PMS and other gynecological disorders, migraines and headaches, neurological disorders, emotional imbalances such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD, fertility, and skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, and eczema. Tess uses a combination of classical acupuncture, cupping, dietary and lifestyle counseling, and herbal formulas to guide the body to tap into its own innate wisdom and treat symptoms from their root cause.
