Carlie Buckley

Carlie Buckley is a licensed acupuncturist and holistic wellness practitioner with a Master’s degree from Midwest College of Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine. During her training, she completed dual clinical internships—one at the school’s student clinic, treating a wide range of conditions from anxiety to chronic pain, and another at Orchid Chinese Medicine, where she deepened her focus on women’s health under the mentorship of Clinic Director Lisa Mussak.

Before transitioning into the healing arts, Carlie spent decades in the hospitality industry and comes from a creative arts background. The through-line has always been care: creating experiences of ease, comfort, and connection. Now, in the treatment room, she brings that same intuitive presence and grounded support to her work with patients—especially those navigating life transitions, postpartum recovery, and chronic stress. Carlie believes healing happens when we feel seen, held, and invited back into relationship with our bodies.
