Lindsay MacDougall Acupuncture & Wellness

Lindsay is the best! I have been at her practice since August 2023 and have been making appointments, consistently, every week! I initially sought out Lindsay’s practice because I was suffering from daily, debilitating migraines. With so many options available, I chose Lindsay because her website made it very clear that there isn’t going to be a miracle cure in one session, but that with consistency, I would be feeling better. What Lindsay said was true to the letter! After a month, I went from having daily migraines, to several a week, to one, and then none at all.I have been to a variety of acupuncturists in South Carolina, North Carolina, and DC, and I don’t hesitate to say that Lindsay is far and beyond the best acupuncturist I have ever seen.I could go on and on, but Lindsay’s practice speaks for itself! So grateful to have found her.

Lindsay is a fantastic acupuncturist. She is incredibly kind, caring and helpful. I cannot recommend Lindsay enough!!

Ive worked with Lindsay for the last several months on some shoulder/neck pain and tightness -- the technique that she uses works remarkably well for managing trigger points. After spending just a few minutes on it the first session, I noticed that my neck range of motion had significantly improved, and the intermittent pain I had been experiencing for literal years hasnt reoccured. Lindsay has been excellent at creating a collaborative plan in listening to my requests as well as using her own expertise. Would recommend!

I highly recommend working with Lindsay! I bought an 11 session package with her and its one of the best investments Ive made in my health. Lindsay spent a lot of time upfront getting to know me and deeply exploring some of the complex health issues I was navigating after coming home from living overseas (gut health, low metabolism, fatigue, etc).I like that she has given me a clear treatment plan, so that I trust were addressing longer term structural health issues every week, but she also checks in with me each session and addresses more acute issues that are coming up in real time as well. I started seeing a huge shift in my overall sense of health and wellbeing after a few treatments and am planning on continuing to do long term work with her. Shes also been providing me with additional supports outside the acupuncture sessions - nutritional tips and recommendations for supplements to address gut health and sleep issues. I feel so supported!Besides the great treatment, Lindsay is a lovely person and her office is gorgeous. Again, I give my highest recommendation for investing in your health and working with Lindsay. Enjoy!

Lindsay is outstanding healer and acupuncture practitioner. She is very good at treating specific pain points as well as overall system balance. I always leave seeing Lindsay with a greater sense of wellbeing.

I first went to see Lindsay for an orthopedic issue with my shoulder. At that time she told me I can fix your shoulder and help you feel better overall than youve felt before - she was right! Over the span of 3 years she helped me address my shoulder issue, improve my sleep, lower my overall stress levels, and work with me on a host of other orthopedic challenges. I would definitely recommend Lindsay for orthopedic and general acupuncture.

I came to Lindsay due to digestive issues and fatigue and after several months of care am feeling infinitely better. I used to have daily digestive upset and my symptoms have been reduced significantly. Lindsay is a great active listener and takes a great deal of time and attentiveness to get to know you holistically.

Lindsay has a really lovely energy and is clearly a passionate healer, and all of her work is super mindful of the mind/body connection. I came to her with chronic fatigue and chronic pain, as well as emotional trauma and grief. Her treatments made me feel exponentially better on both fronts.

Ive been seeing Lindsay regularly for 8 months now and have seen great improvements to my chronic pain, digestive disorder, and emotional well-being. I left my previous acupuncturist because I did not have a good connection with him. I believe finding a good acupuncturist is like finding a good therapist--it needs to be someone you feel comfortable with and can communicate well with. Lindsay does a great job at treating me holistically, spending part of the session listening to physical and emotional distress I am facing and then combining that with the physical side of acupuncture and other eastern medicine treatments. Understanding and treating the relationship between emotional/mental and physical has played a huge role in the progress I have achieved. The main part of the challenge for me has been deciphering the root of my issues. Life contains a myriad of confounding factors and its a real puzzle to gain the self-awareness and understanding of what is really going on with oneself. Lindsay is very patient and helpful guiding me on that journey, bringing her own keen sense of awareness and knowledge of the mind and body as well as lack of judgment or jumping to preconceived conclusions to help me find balance within myself.

Lindsay MacDougall Acupuncturist is The Most Amazing Acupuncturist ! (Yoga Instructor Too).If you get a chance to attend one of her workshops, (Beginner Yoga W/ Intro to Acupuncture) you will be hooked on both. (I wouldn’t wait, I would make an appt. for acupuncture with her and find yoga, or check her schedule for when she is instructing yoga). I have learned so much about myself and my body from Lindsay. I had some pretty serious health issues that affected my whole well being. Lindsay was able to keep me healthy & strong and almost completely normal. It took a a little bit of time with treatments 2x a week, but once I was back on track, I felt bionic. :)I still feel bionic. I left her office a few weeks ago and actually “sprinted” to my car! ( I’m talking downtown DC, 30* degrees, busy busy, cars and people everywhere. I didn’t care, I felt so good).I had an appointment with her today and she worked on some ongoing stuff and some new things ( I took a 2 week Real Estate class, Super Crunch ! 6 hrs a day in the chairs put a hurting on my back and hip flexors). Yup, Lindsay can help you with that, too. Not to say, “I am all healed from “1” treatment with my back, but I am on the way back to “Bionic”.Her treatment on me today was as much emotional as it was physical. I am fortunate enough to have a practitioner that treats the “Whole Being”.I Think Lindsay can “fix” ( treat) just about anything, or at least bring things back to manageable. There is a healthy amount of responsibility on the patients too. I Trust and Believe in my Acupuncturist (Lindsay) and I am fortunate to have a practitioner as connected (spirituality) and dedicated (education, research, passion for healing) as Lindsay MacDougall.Sincerely,Matthew J. CahillCrofton, Maryland.

I have been to Lindsay with tremendous results for sleep issues, muscle pain, bursitis, and other gym-related conditions and highly recommend her individualized treatment protocols for each separate condition. She listens carefully and calmly first to assure that she understands all symptoms and chooses techniques that are truly healing.

Outstanding! Incredibly easy to schedule and communicate in between sessions. Very thorough assessment and individualized care. Orthopedic acupuncture is incredibly difficult to find in general however Lindsay is highly knowledgeable and experienced with the care she provides. Would highly recommend!

Lindsay is a gifted acupuncturist and really listens to her clients concerns and desired outcomes. I am a loyal client for going on five years now - its one of the best investments Ive made health-wise. Im living overseas right now and this is one of the things I miss most!

Lindsay is incredible! She’s kind, attentive and incredible at what she does. I always feel safe and welcome in the warm space she has created, and she’s helped me and continues to help me with a variety of issues.

Linday is a skilled and compassionate acupuncturist. She has helped me a great deal with my health issues. I recommend her very highly.

Professionalism, knowledge and application of the eastern acupuncture process. Lindsay Macdougall is the best Acupunturist I have interfaced within my 30 years of treatment.

Cannot speak highly enough of Lindsay and her practice. The benefits Ive experienced have been enormous.

Incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate practitioner in a tranquil and serene setting right in the heart of DC. Highly recommend!
