Create lasting wellness.
Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine for wellness, pain relief, and stress.
Are you, or is someone you love feeling stressed, anxious, or worried? Are you tired of western medicine throwing pharmaceuticals at every problem? Rachel’s healing practice offers acupuncture and/or herbal medicine in an integrated program, drawing on classical Chinese medicine for an effective approach to stress, pain, and other health concerns. She serves people from Annapolis, Arnold, Severna Park, Pasadena, Bowie, Edgewater, and throughout the Chesapeake Bay area.
Acupuncture for Performers
Performance challenges are not about your abilities, level of skill, or time in the practice room; they are about proper alignment (physical and energy), effective practice, self-awareness, and an empowered mindset.

Meet Rachel
Dr. Rachel Strass, DOM, LAc, Dipl OM (NCCAOM)
The focus of Rachel’s practice is to see each person as a whole and work together to find their way to good health. We look at each person’s history and carefully design a plan that is unique to their needs. Whether a person has numerous physical issues and a great deal of pain, or they are relatively healthy and wish to handle stress and live in better balance with their world, she is here to help. Many need relief from headaches and lower back pain. Others seek support for recovery from cancer and side-effects of chemotherapy. Women may need support with periods or menopause. As well as using acupuncture and herbs, Rachel works with lifestyle and nutrition to avoid chronic pain and injury. She shares wisdom on the
practical aspects of living well, including rest, movement, and nutrition.
Most people don’t want to take a drug to get better if they can do it another way. Western drugs mask symptoms and hide the progress of disease, not to mention causing side-effects. Wouldn’t it be better to solve these problems naturally? Let’s take care of that nagging knee pain or find the cause of those allergies and clear them up. Haven’t you wondered if there was a better way to deal with stress and anxiety than taking prescriptions that dull your feelings?
At Spirit Point Healing, we offer real solutions to all kinds of concerns in a more natural way. We can help you get out of stress, trauma, poor sleep, and pain and into being physically and emotionally healthier more naturally and without side-effects.
I want our healthcare system to change into a holistic model where health is looked at through the lens of physics and energy as well as chemistry and pharmaceuticals.
