My work is firmly rooted in the classical tradition of Chinese medicine. As a licensed Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese medicine (DACM), I work with many tools to support healing: I practice acupuncture, prescribe herbal formulas, provide cupping, gua sha, tui na, moxibustion, and various other therapies when appropriate.Chinese medicine doesn't just treat diseases, it treats people. For this reason, each session is tailor-made to address each client's unique situation, with every acupuncture treatment, and ever herbal formula made custom.I work a lot with people living with chronic illness, including conditions that are complex and which evade the understanding of modern Western medicine. In addition, I have a lot of experience working with people who have psychoemotional challenges, such as depression and anxiety, or who feel confusion and a sense of loss of purpose in life.
In addition to all of this, I frequently treat digestive disorders, menstrual irregularities, headaches and migraines, respiratory conditions, sleep disorders, inflammatory and rheumatic disorders, and a whole host of other conditions.I work both online and in-person at my clinic space in Wilmington, Vermont.

Teaching

The Garden That Grows Itself: Meditation Training

Before self-improvement, before striving, there is something more basic: the wisdom, clarity, and warmth of awareness itself, steady and alive.
The ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius taught that every human heart contains what he called the "sprouts of goodness" — such as compassion, a sense of right and wrong, love and wisdom — as natural and ready to grow as seeds in rich soil. But, like the famous farmer in Mencius' story who ruined his crops by yanking them upward, we often exhaust ourselves trying to force what would flourish on its own.
In this meditation series, we explore the nuances of learning to rest in the original ground of awareness — the open, fertile stillness beneath our busy minds — and discover that it already contains everything we need. We practice tending conditions rather than manufacturing results. We water roots rather than pulling at stems.
Drawing on Daoist traditions of heart-mind cultivation, Buddhist insight practices from the Theravada tradition, and the spacious, effortless methods of Tibetan Dzogchen, this class weaves together contemplative approaches that share a common trust: that awareness itself is wholesome ground, and goodness grows when we learn how to let it.
Taught by Aidan Keeva, whose training spans these living traditions, each session offers guided meditation, reflection, and simple practices for everyday life — helping you return, again and again, to the garden that was always already growing.
