Healing InSight is the private practice of Senia Tuominen, an acupuncturist and herbalist. Senia is licensed in acupuncture by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice. She is a nationally board-certified herbalist, holding a Diplomate in Chinese Herbology and Acupuncture from National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). She graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Masters Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Northwestern Health Sciences University. Prior to founding Healing InSight, Senia was a biomedical engineer and graduated from the University of Minnesota. Senia is also credentialed at Woodwinds Hospital.
Senia is the Twin Cities’ only digestive health and food therapy specialist who uses the holistic principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). She has completed post-graduate studies in internal medicine, complex digestive issues and weight loss and enthusiastically builds on her knowledge daily.
“I came to Chinese medicine vaguely hoping it could do something for the digestive and other issues I had, and I was blown away with the results. It completely restored my health and I got off the drugs from my doctor. I couldn’t believe that Chinese medicine could heal something my doctor could only medicate! "
“Being a scientist I was trained to always look for the root cause of an issue and fix it from there, not to just cover up the symptoms. I think people want health care that will do that and yet modern medicine is geared to just shut off or remove warning signs. Once I discovered that Chinese medicine has the insight and tools we need to change our health at its root, it was easy to switch from a technical role in medicine to study Chinese medicine and share it with others. "
“I want people to understand where their health issues are coming from and how they can make simple changes while they’re receiving treatment. Chinese medicine isn’t just about sticking needles in people, it helps people get in touch with their inner wisdom to make the benefits last a lifetime. I feel fortunate to get to use this wisdom to help people regain control of their health every day.”
