Tom St. Amand, M. Ac.
Hi, I’m Tom St. Amand, owner of Family Acupuncture Center at 89 York Street in Kennebunk, Maine since 2000. I earned my Master of Acupuncture degree at the New England School of Acupuncture (NESA) in Watertown, MA, just outside of Boston. The 36 month program at NESA, the country’s first acupuncture college, gave me the opportunity to study Japanese acupuncture techniques along with my Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) training. I also earned a diploma in Chinese Herbal Medicine and am nationally board certified and state licensed.
Ashley St. Amand, M. Ac.
In 2017, I graduated from Simmons College in Boston, MA with my B.S. in Nutrition and Dietetics. During my studies in nutrition I found my passion for holistic healing and felt a need to bring my scope of practice beyond a consultative nature to a more hands-on approach. Acupuncture had a major influence on my upbringing through my aunt and uncle who both practice acupuncture in Southern Maine, so I was familiar with the interactive essence of acupuncture and the immediate healing that it can bring.
I elected to pursue this passion at the New England School of Acupuncture (NESA) in Worcester, MA. Over 8 semesters of studies in less than 3 years, I earned my degree of Master of Acupuncture in Chinese Acupuncture Studies. That title encompasses studies in Traditional Chinese Medical theory, Anatomy and Physiology, Western Bio-Medicine, Orthopedic Acupuncture, Chinese Nutrition, Advanced Needling Techniques as well as adjunctive techniques like cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, and kiniseology taping. Along with my clinical rotations in NESA's Worcester Treatment Center, I also spent a clinical rotation in the Pediatric Pain Unit at Boston Medical Center treating a variety of pediatric cases.
After apprenticing with Tom St. Amand (my uncle) for the past 3 years, I am joining him in his Kennebunk office as of August 2021. I am thrilled to have joined Family Acupuncture and look forward to working with each and every one of you!
