Neha Patel, L.Ac. Reva Acupuncture & Herbs
Reva is another name for the Narmada River which flows in Gujarat, India. She is the sacred river itself as well as being a Goddess and a mother. My ancestors and family lived on the banks of this holy river: the water and the land were a source of sustenance, livelihood, and spirituality. The word Reva is meaningful for me and represents the deepest roots of who I am.
My exploration of Chinese Medicine, Daoist philosophy, herbs and acupuncture feels as vast, as deep and as beautiful as my dear Narmada mother. The Yin Yang symbol (Tai Ji symbol) represents the dynamic dance of Earth, nature, energies, and all its beings. Exploring these dynamics in people is exciting to me. There is no judgement, only curiosity. Listening, partnering and increasing self awareness are words that describe how I can be of support. Moving from dis-ease to ease, making pertinent and sustainable lifestyle choices, and living in harmony with ourselves and the external world are the backdrop of my treatment space.
I began my study of the internal and external world at Case Western Reserve University with a double degree in Psychology and Natural Science. And while my roots are in India; my heart is in Ohio! I am proud to have been raised there among family and friends. My interest in alternative health began with a desire to make life healthier and easier for my loved ones. I received my Master’s in Acupuncture and certificate in Chinese Herbal Medicine from the Maryland University of Integrative Health. I chose to study Chinese Medicine for its ability to address physical, mental, emotional and spirit level blocks. I am grateful to have studied with beautiful and generous teachers. I thank them for their teaching and carry their light with me on this path. Namaste.
