Inner Body Data™ ~ Self-Empowered Healthcare
Hello and Welcome to Inner Body Data™!
My name is Sinéad (pronounced “Sha-nade”). I am a Doctor of Chinese Medicine, Licensed Acupuncturist, Board Certified Herbalist, Yoga & Qigong instructor, martial artist, dancer, meditator, and lover of embodiment practices! I spent 6 years in San Francisco, CA obtaining my Doctorate at the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the California Institute of Integral Studies. I’ve trained with world-class practitioners and experts in the field in California, Hong Kong, and China. Prior to my graduate studies, I received a B.A. in The Biophysics of Preventative Medicine (Interdisciplinary Studies) from UNC-Chapel Hill.
In May 2020, I opened my first acupuncture clinic in Chapel Hill, NC. In 2024, I began working on the island of Kaua’i, Hawaii. As of 2026, I am now also licensed in the state of Florida, where I will soon open my third acupuncture clinic in Miami Beach. I am officially a nomadic acupuncturist! I feel enormous gratitude for the many healing communities I am a part of world-wide.
In my private practice, I utilize acupuncture, herbal medicine, diet + supplement recommendations, and personalized movement + meditation regimines to help patients achieve their health goals & find work-life balance.
I specialize in reproductive health, holistic skin care + beauty, anti-aging medicine, sports medicine/pain management, trauma recovery, and preventative healthcare.
In addition to my in-person work with acupuncture, I am also available for TELEMEDICINE CONSULTATIONS, which include herbal, dietary, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations based in Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern biomedical research.
When I’m not seeing patients, you can catch me in person + online teaching a variety embodiment classes including qigong, breathwork, and various forms of yoga. My classes focus on keeping the body young + healthy, as well as providing tools for integrating spiritual-awakening experiences. Check out my classes + events , my On Demand membership, or browse my on demand courses.
WHY DO I DO THIS WORK?
I am passionate about the ways in which our beauty, desires, and embodied presence motivate us to care for our health. The body’s physical image is a reflection of our health, and our inner world. I strive to help patients connect the dots between their external goals (in beauty and/or health) and their ability to listen inwardly.It is my intention to reconnect you to the healing power of Nature, the mind, and the connection to your creative expression for self-healing. In my one-on-one work with patients, I utilize Chinese medicine, Integrative medicine, as well as my 15+ years of teaching experience in yoga, qigong, and the somatic movement arts.
When you finish treatment with me, I want you to FEEL MORE ALIVE, TURNED ON, CREATIVE, and EMPOWERED in your day to day life.
I would love to meet you & share my love of holistic health, embodiment, and beauty. Explore this page to read more about all my offerings!

What Is Auricular Acupuncture?
“Ear acupuncture is an independent micro-system of acupuncture, not unlike foot reflexology, where points on the ear act as reflex points for the whole body. EA became famous in its ability to treat drug addiction, cravings and withdrawal symptoms in a community setting. Other protocols have subsequently been developed to address a wide variety of illness such as insomnia, anxiety, stress related symptoms, pain, smoking cessation, menstrual disorders and PMS, as well as general wellness and preventative care….Read more”
