Boulder Integrative Health, Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine

Meet Dr. Sheila Liewald, D.A.C.M., L.AC.

In my core acupuncture training I studied orthopedic/sports acupuncture under one of the earliest and most proficient sports needlers in the industry, Whit Reaves. This included trigger point local acupuncture (dry needling) and traditional acupuncture (meridian). I went on to help teach trigger point needling for many years…

...I also have Lyme which ushered a developed “knack” for understanding Lyme, mold, and other “fringe” ailments such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and MCAS…..

No Mud, No Lotus. – Thich Nhat Hanh

Your health is your most valuable and priceless asset. Health speaks many languages and has many speeds. Sometimes it’s terse and fast-paced. Western medicine speaks this language very well. Few things can “work” faster than surgery or a pill. They can also be life-saving. But are they healing? Healing is yet another language well-being speaks. Healing is often speaking a more still and subtle language. It is here where transformation happens, not just the transactions of medical care. I resonate with integrative medicine because I find most instances necessitate some combination of medical “languages”.
That said, you are also likely here because you are in a healthcare pickle, so let’s get you out of that.

“If you do not change direction,
you may end up where you are heading” - Lao Tzu

You are here because…

How you are feeling is not your norm and settling with this feels even less normal.

Keeping the magic in science and the science in magic.

  • “I’ve been able to kick my 4+ years of sleeping pill addiction.

    I wasn’t a believer in acupuncture until I started seeing Sheila. Not only am I feeling more energized and all-around healthier, I’ve been able to kick my 4+ years of sleeping pill addiction. Sheila is a great listener and very empathetic. I highly recommend her!“

    I’m so grateful for not only the treatment, but the knowledge and professionalism of the staff. This was my first visit to an acupuncturist and I was made to feel very comfortable.”

    — M.S.

  • “Sheila was able to release the knots that had plagued my back for months!

    These are the same knots that were resistant to sports massage! I’ve since returned for similar work and left feeling completely serene. Thank you relieving my pains Red Aspen!"

  • “Sheila did a great job by bringing my constant jaw popping under control.

    The treatment was tailored to my symptoms and done in a relaxing atmosphere.”

    — R.R.

  • “I tore my MCL a couple years ago, and the pain initially prevented me from doing anything...

    Sheila’s treatments help me to resume mountain biking within three weeks of the injury, and I was completely pain-free a month earlier than my doctor said I would be.”
