At its root, acupuncture and East Asian medicine
are a medicine of peace.

Xeo Thuy Tien comes from a matriarchal linage of traditional herbal knowledge and as a young adult, apprenticed with a clinical herbalist in western North Carolina. Xeo spent over 10 years grassroots organizing free pop-up herbal and wellness clinics across the country before returning to Texas, where they worked at AOMA’s herbal pharmacy while earning their BS and first graduate degree in Acupuncture & TCM from Texas Health and Science University, followed by a Doctorate degree in Acupuncture with a Chinese Herbal Medicine Specialization from the American College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.  Xeo practices at South Austin Community Acupuncture and outside of the clinic, Xeo enjoys time in nature, practicing tai qi, skateboarding, and playing cello.

Dr. Dee is a doctor of Chinese medicine, a board certified herbalist, and licensed acupuncturist. Originally from North Carolina, their university years were spent researching race and gender bias, working in the non-profit sector, and volunteering with houseless trans youth — experiences that still inform their patient-centered approach. Sierra believes that great healthcare is for everyone and everyone should have the resources to live their healthiest lives. 

Nicole Fillion-Robin is a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist from Austin, TX. She graduated from AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine after working towards food secure communities in her twenties. As the daughter of a librarian and engineer, providing resources and collaborative problem solving are two of her love languages, both heavily reflected in her style of care for clients. Nicole believes that nothing including healing happens in isolation, and that acupuncture should not be a luxury. She still dreams of a revolutionary future where healing bodywork like acupuncture is available and accessible to all. These days, you can find her moseying around the barn, in the garden, doing some city wandering/birdwatching, or at her South Austin clinic.
