Noel Wright’s ongoing sense of wonder and her gratitude toward the art of acupuncture began with her own experience after she suffered the effects of a car accident. Noel began to receive acupuncture from Dr. William Nat Clearfield for the problems arising from the accident. Dr. Clearfield – now her teaching colleague – inspired her to pursue the academic study of an ancient healing art that she was developing a deep respect and appreciation for.
She has combined proven treatment tools in her acupuncture style, “Acupuncture Physical Medicine”. With Acupuncture Physical Medicine Noel Wright blends Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Japanese acupuncture and Hara (abdominal) diagnosis with a “hands-on” approach to treating acute and chronic injuries and maladies. This approach was influenced by her extensive clinical practice working in integrative medical settings co-treating with physiatrists (physical medicine and rehabilitation doctors), neurologists, massage therapists, chiropractors, physical therapists, Reiki practitioners, naturopathic doctors and psychotherapists.
