Meet Corey Timbers, L.Ac., M.Ac., CZB

I love being in the woods. The sounds, the colors, the smells – it’s so magical and transportive while also helping me feel grounded and more like myself. This is also why I love Five Element acupuncture; it connects us to nature’s rhythms while returning us to our own true nature.

Because in truth, we are nature.

Before I discovered the transformational power of acupuncture and bodywork, I went through a period of intense difficulty.

I was carrying unprocessed trauma and turned to the false refuges of drugs and alcohol for relief, when all I found was its opposite.

I’m forever grateful to the acupuncturist who helped me begin my healing journey back to myself, sober and rooted in love.

At her recommendation, I attended an open house at the Maryland University of Integrative Health, where I graduated with a Master of Acupuncture degree a few years later. And shortly thereafter I got my degree in Chinese Herbal Medicine from Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts.

When I’m not in the treatment room, I have fun and recharge by walking in the woods, practicing Tai Chi and Qi Gong, Five Rhythms dancing, or playing with my senior golden retriever, Sophie, who is the oldest puppy I know.

Even though we live in our own bubbles, the quality of our lives is dependent on those around us and on nature. My intention is simple: create positive, healing ripples in the world by helping people live as their authentic selves and step into their highest potential.

What people are saying

  • "When I met Corey, I was not convinced that acupuncture works. However, I was quickly convinced otherwise during our first five sessions. I worked with Corey for over a year. During that time acupuncture helped me overcome many challenges that have affected my physical and mental health. Corey is kind, compassionate and truly cares about his patients. I feel lucky that I got to work with him and definitely recommend him to my friends and family."

Corey was incredibly patient, attentive, understanding, upbeat, genuine, kind, caring, and compassionate. I truly couldn't have asked for a better practitioner to work with. Somehow, Corey strikes the perfect balance of being able to offer ideas and potential solutions, without being overbearing or focused on a specific outcome. While I experienced many ups and downs due to my various chronic illnesses, Corey was truly a beacon of stability and calm throughout my journey. I am so appreciative of our weekly acupuncture sessions and do believe they've helped me along in my healing process."

I recommend him highly."

I have seen other acupuncturists but Corey is the most methodical and diligent. I appreciate that he holds the space for me and often does not leave the treatment room during our session for great lengths of time. Corey is very passionate about his work and I would highly recommend him. The Five Elements technique he utilizes has really worked for me."

  • "I have been going to Corey for acupuncture for over a year, and it’s been life-changing! Corey truly has a gift and approaches his practice with genuine care and thoughtfulness. He takes time to really understand you and your needs in order to tailor treatment for every visit. Through his deliberate, holistic approach, I have been able to get relief on a range of issues, mostly stress induced, that had been impacting my physical and mental health. My mind and body are not only healthier and more well-balanced, but I have learned a lot throughout the process about myself, which helps me build on the acupuncture therapy. I could not be more grateful for Corey and Crossings Healing and Wellness Center!"
