Rebecca Dimmerling, DAc. is a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese herbal medicine practitioner with a deep-rooted background in both Western and Eastern medicine.  Her path into healthcare began early, working as an Emergency Medical Technician in high school, and continued through her service as a medic and nurse in the United States military.  It was during her military service that she was first introduced to battlefield acupuncture-an experience that profoundly shaped her understanding of healing and inspired her to pursue a career in integrative medicine.  

Rebecca earned both her Master's and Doctorate degrees in Acupuncture, with a specialization in Chinese herbal medicine, from Maryland University of Integrative Health.  Alongside her clinical work, she has remained committed to education and research, serving as an adjunct faculty in the bioscience department at MUIH and working as a research analyst and subject matter expert with the Traumatic Brain Injury Center of Excellence.  

As a veteran herself, Rebecca is especially passionate about serving the military community.  For more than two years, she has provided acupuncture care to veterans and their families through the nonprofit Platoon 22 in Frederick, Maryland.  She currently continues to work by offering acupuncture services during Therapeutic Thursdays, creating a consistent, accessible space for healing and support within the veteran community.

At Holistic Health Associates, Rebecca integrates a strong foundation in Western medical sciences with the time-honored principles of Eastern medicine.  This balanced, whole-person approach allows her to tailor treatments to each individual's unique needs, addressing not only symptoms but the underlying patterns affecting health and well-being.  Her goal is to help patients find relief, restore balance, and reconnect with their vitality.

Rebecca considers it a privilege to walk alongside her patient's wellness journeys and remains deeply committed to helping others thrive through the art and science of acupuncture.
