A Different Kind of Healthcare

At Tapestry Holistic Healing, I believe that true healing extends beyond the physical body. Just as a tapestry is woven from many interconnected threads, our wellbeing is influenced not only by our physical health, but also by our emotional, mental, energetic, and spiritual health.

When one area becomes out of balance, it can affect the whole. While modern healthcare often focuses primarily on physical symptoms, many people intuitively recognize that stress, grief, trauma, life transitions, relationships, purpose, and spiritual connection can profoundly influence how we feel.

Christy Mahoney, LAc, MSTCM, FDN‑P

My path into holistic medicine began with my own search for answers.

As a teenager and young adult, I struggled with painful periods, chronic fatigue, digestive issues, and insomnia — yet often felt that my concerns were being managed rather than truly understood. Those experiences sparked a lifelong passion for uncovering the root causes of illness and helping others find a more personalized path to healing.

For nearly 24 years, I have helped patients improve their health through acupuncture, herbal medicine, functional medicine, and energy healing. I hold a Master's degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco, and am also a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN‑P).

I founded Tapestry Holistic Healing because I believe healing is rarely about one thing alone. Like the threads of a tapestry, our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health are interconnected. When we address the whole person, meaningful transformation becomes possible.

The name Tapestry Holistic Healing reflects this philosophy. A tapestry is created by weaving many individual threads together to form something stronger, richer, and more beautiful than any single thread alone. In much the same way, our health is influenced by physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual factors that are deeply interconnected.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your first appointment

What conditions do you commonly work with?

Acupuncture may help support a wide variety of health concerns, including chronic and acute pain, neck, back, shoulder, hip and knee pain, headaches and migraines, fertility support, hormone imbalances, PMS and painful periods, perimenopause and menopause, digestive concerns, stress and anxiety, insomnia and sleep issues, fatigue and burnout, and metabolic health concerns.

If you are unsure whether your condition is a good fit, please reach out.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most people find acupuncture much more comfortable than they expect. The needles are extremely thin — far finer than a hypodermic needle — and many patients barely feel them being inserted.

You may notice sensations such as warmth, tingling, heaviness, or gentle movement around a point. Many patients become so relaxed that they fall asleep during treatment.

What makes Functional Medicine different?

Functional Medicine is a personalized approach to health that focuses on identifying and addressing potential root causes rather than simply managing symptoms. By exploring the relationships between hormones, digestion, nutrition, sleep, stress, metabolism, and lifestyle, we gain a clearer picture of what may be contributing to imbalance — and where meaningful opportunities for healing exist.

Do you work with fertility patients?

Yes. Fertility support has been a major focus of my work for more than 20 years. Care may include acupuncture, functional testing recommendations, nutrition, supplements, cycle tracking, IVF support, and preconception health optimization. Acupuncture is commonly used to support relaxation, stress management, nervous system regulation, and overall reproductive health throughout the fertility journey.

Do you accept insurance?

Tapestry Holistic Healing is currently in network with Regence. If you do not have Regence and your insurance plan offers out-of-network acupuncture benefits, a superbill can be provided for possible reimbursement. HSA and FSA cards are accepted for eligible services.

What is Energy Medicine?

Energy Medicine is a gentle healing modality that works with the body's energetic systems to support balance, relaxation, and wellbeing. Some people seek Energy Medicine for stress reduction and emotional healing. Others are interested in personal growth, spiritual development, or navigating major life transitions. Energy Medicine can be received on its own or combined with an acupuncture treatment. You do not need to be spiritually oriented to benefit.
