Celeste, a licensed acupuncturist, is the owner & operator of Healing Rivers Acupuncture in New Braunfels, Texas.

Academically, Celeste received her Master of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine degree from AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine. To enhance her acupuncture practice, she extended her graduate studies to include Character Genealogy, which utilizes ancient acupuncture point prescription for psycho-emotional balancing and spiritual treatments. She completed extensive work with pediatric tuina which encompasses acupressure for the treatment of childhood diseases. She has treated her own children with pediatric tuina and herbal therapy since their births, as well as has used acupuncture and herbs to induce the birth of her last child, who was born 12 minutes after labor began.

During her young adulthood, Celeste traveled the world on a spiritual journey. Her path led her to oriental medicine. As a clinic intern at AOMA, she loved helping people improve their health and saw first-hand how Traditional Chinese Medicine could change a patient’s quality of life. She enjoyed the gratification of establishing bonding relationships with her patients. Through Chinese Medicine, she found her purpose and passion in life, and found a personal way to give something wonderful to the community.

Although she had always dreamed of having a family, Celeste had been diagnosed with infertility in her early thirties. During her graduate work, she had been treated by a Chinese medicine doctor at AOMA for miscarriage and endometriosis, which is a painful reproductive system ailment that can cause infertility. She painfully decided to let go of having a family and focused on building her career, but she continued to treat herself to regulate her body with acupuncture and herbs while attending AOMA. 

Three months after graduation, at forty years old, she and her husband received the news they were pregnant with their first of three children. She understands the emotional involvement a couple has when trying to build a family. Through her own experience with infertility and the successes that Chinese Medicine has brought into her own family life, Celeste hopes to extend her hand in service to other “moms to be” for the miracles waiting to be born into their lives.

Accredited through the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, she holds certifications in Zen Shiatsu Japanese Bodywork, Medical Qigong, and Reiki. 

Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine and a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is a technique in which thin needles are inserted into the body and in some cases, electro-stimulation is applied to gently stimulate particular regions of the body. Acupuncture is also used to maintain general health and well-being. Acupuncturists treat a variety of physical and psychological issues, such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, pain, digestive disorders, and infertility.
