Lilly Demers
 

Hi! I’m Lilly.

I’m an acupuncturist, herbalist and gardener by trade. With nature as my guide, I practice a blend of Five Element Acupuncture, Japanese Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. I especially enjoy helping patients move out of stress and anxiety, resolve digestive issues, transform pain, and regulate patterns of imbalance in women's health. 

I strongly believe that we all have the capacity for healing within ourselves. I believe that health is a dynamic state and that the potential for progress exists no matter how big or small of a change is needed. I am honored to serve as an anchor and a guide to my patients along their journey to wellness and feel a deep gratitude to be able to share with my community this beautiful medicine that has changed my life and that of countless others.

My training includes a Masters in Acupuncture from the Middle Way Acupuncture Institute, training in craniosacral therapy from Bastyr University, herbal training at the Clearpath School of Herbal Medicine, an apprenticeship in Ayurveda and plant medicine and training in Five Element Shiatsu. 

 

What People Are Saying

“Lilly was one of my first experiences with acupuncture and she is amazing! She has helped me work through a host of physical symptoms that weren’t remedied with western medicine, including migraine, allergies, gastrointestinal, insomnia, and general stress/anxiety. Having her on my healthcare team has really improved my quality of life long term!”

— N.P, Former patient

“I had been living with considerable pain, mainly in my back and right side of body…With each visit [Lilly] took the time to ask questions on how I was feeling all throughout my body, my spirit and mental attitudes.…This young woman is responsible for giving me back my vibrancy of life, my desire to heal and find that ‘woman’ I have always been to emerge, although slowly, Lilly and I made it happen. I completely endorse Lilly as professional with the depth of a caring, knowledgeable health care provider, plus a wonderful “cheer leader” to get me back to a healthy active senior woman. Thank you, Lilly, for all you did and I know you will continue providing the best care of your patients.”

“Lilly Demers was my first introduction to acupuncture and is the first practitioner who truly *listened* to me—not just to my words, but to my body and overall well-being. When I first came to her, I was experiencing deep fatigue (likely adrenal-related), frequent illnesses, vertigo, and what felt like the unraveling of my health. Traditional doctors dismissed my concerns because my labs were “normal,” but Lilly took everything seriously.

Over the course of a year and a half, she helped me rebuild my energy, immunity, and sense of balance. Through acupuncture, intuitive insight, and deep listening, she guided me toward the right supplements, diet shifts, and lifestyle changes to support my healing. She also helped me identify and navigate the major stressors that were draining me—always with kindness, never judgment.

Lilly has an incredible gift. She’s masterful, deeply knowledgeable, and a truly compassionate healer. Her ability to listen between the lines and gently reflect back what I needed to hear—often before I realized it myself—was invaluable. Thanks to her, I began to regain strength, avoid illness (even through travel and work stress), and finally felt my “pulses” return to balance.

She also introduced me to other incredible practitioners who complemented her care and helped me continue to heal holistically. Though she has since moved, I remain deeply grateful for the profound impact she’s had on my life. I would still be working with her today if I could.

Lilly’s work is nothing short of magical—and I will always be thankful for the support, insight, and healing she brought into my life.”

“Lilly Demers LAC is a knowledgeable and skilled acupuncturist. She is compassionate as well as an excellent listener with the ability to implement a plan of care.

When I first went for treatments I was in pain. This prevented me from doing the things I enjoyed. I can now say that my pain is manageable and I am getting back to do the things I enjoy.”
