LIcensed acupuncturist and herbalist
Dawn Webster, L.OM.
Dawn Webster, L.OM. is a practitioner of unusually broad range. A licensed acupuncturist and herbalist in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, board certified by the NCCAOM in acupuncture and herbal medicine, she brings over a decade of clinical experience spanning reproductive health and fertility, pediatrics, pain relief, and autoimmune support.
Her path reflects that range: raised in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, where an early fascination with plants seeded her herbal practice; trained in both the sciences and improvised music, which gives her a practical eye, a sense of humor, and the flexibility to adapt as your health picture changes. She offers acupuncture, cupping, herbal medicine, facial acupuncture, and microneedling.
Her interests extend well beyond the treatment room. She performs throughout the tri-state area as a member of the West Philadelphia Orchestra and other ensembles, tends an edible rooftop garden, and has logged over 10,000 long-distance backpacking miles. She also offers astrology consultations, which she treats as a practical framework for reflection and decision-making — the product of 30 years of study, not woo ($150/60 min, $200/90 min, in person or virtual).
In short: you'll be in skilled, curious, and capable hands.
-
A thorough review of your health history and current concerns, plus acupuncture with cupping, moxibustion, or gua sha as needed. You'll leave with classical or custom herbal formula recommendations, along with lifestyle and dietary guidance — and with China Herb Company right on site, you can take your formula home the same day.
-
Your treatments evolve as you do. Each visit builds on the last: acupuncture refined to where you are now, formulas adjusted as your health shifts, and support for whatever the week brought you.
-
Fine needles stimulate collagen and circulation, softening lines and brightening skin — while the rest of the treatment addresses the whole you. Rest under a medical-grade, FDA-approved LED light. Beauty from the inside out.
-
In person or virtual. Not fortune-telling — a practical framework for reflection and decision-making, grounded in 30 years of study. Explore your natal chart, look ahead, or dig into a question you're sitting with.
-
In person or on telehealth— A deep dive into your health story: current concerns, history, sleep, digestion, energy — the whole picture. From there, Dawn crafts a classical or custom formula matched to you, not just your diagnosis, along with dietary and lifestyle guidance to support it. With China Herb Company on site, your formula ships or is ready for pickup right away.
-
In person or on telehealth — Herbs work best when they keep pace with you. This visit reviews how you've responded, fine-tunes your formula as your health shifts, and keeps your care moving forward — typically monthly, from wherever you are.
Massage Therapy
Margaret Hudson, LMT
Margaret has been practicing massage since 2007. After completing a 600-hour massage program at East West College of the Healing Arts in Portland, OR, she continued her studies with an additional three-month certification in Thai Massage in Chiang Mai, Thailand. She has been a nurse since 2016 and divides her time between the ICU and her massage practice.
Margaret’s approach combines a well-rounded understanding of anatomy and physiology with an intuitive sense of how our bodies store stress, pain, and emotional memory. Her work is a fluid combination of modalities, including facilitated stretching, deep fascial release, and trigger point therapy, with a style that flows between focused areas of attention and full-body integration to help evolve and maintain a sense of well-being and body awareness.
All Margaret’s offerings are available in 60 and 90 minute sessions.
