Jon-Erik Lido, L.Ac. is a graduate of Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine in Sugar Grove, NC. Jon-Erik became an acupuncturist from an unusual path- a thirteen year-long career as a computer software developer and IT professional. The choice to pursue a career in acupuncture stemmed from a desire to have greater and more direct positive impact in peoples’ lives. His mission is to transform health and health-care.

Jon-Erik was introduced to the theory of Chinese Medicine through Chinese martial arts. The theory and practice of the internal martial arts Xingyiquan and Baguazhang opened up a new world to him. They provided him with a visceral, personal experience of the theoretical and energetic underpinnings of the Daoist philosophy, cosmology, and channel energetics that are at the heart of Chinese Medicine. They also introduced him to the practice of one branch of Chinese Medicine– Tui Na, or medical massage. Jon-Erik has since completed levels 1-6 of Zheng Gu Tui Na, which he integrates in his acupuncture treatments.

The education at Jung Tao School provided him with a seamless introduction to acupuncture. Its curriculum placed heavy emphasis on theory so that the medicine could be understood thoroughly and applied to the particulars of any situation. He was encouraged to personally discover the medicine through immersive self-study in addition to time spent in the classroom so he could develop a rich, deep theoretical foundation upon which to build a lifetime of further discovery. This was an invitation he took (and continues to take) to heart. Meanwhile the Taiji (Tai Chi) courses continued to develop his skills of sensitivity and awareness.Jon-Erik continues his study of Chinese Medicine to this day. He has added Yoga to his routine for personal internal development, and is a registered yoga teacher. Through yoga he strives to awaken new levels of awareness, sensitivity, and compassion for all people. Jon-Erik has a special passion for Yin Yoga, which combines Chinese acupuncture theory with poses derived from Hatha Yoga.

Since 2015 Jon-Erik has served as faculty at Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine in the role of Clinical Supervisor. In this position he instructs and guides fourth-year acupuncture students through their internship at the school, making their transition from acupuncture student to independent practitioner.

I graduated from the American European Massage Clinic of Raleigh, NC in December 2009. I specialize in deep tissue, medical and sports massage. I address a wide range of issues and conditions with the intention to help alleviate immediate pain and correct poor muscle patterns. I am also trained in Lomi Lomi, Prenatal Massage, and Hot Stone Massage.

I am a first time mom to a toddler who takes a lot of my personal time, but I enjoy being physically active. I grew up playing sports and as an adult that has translated into other forms of exercise. I also enjoy expressing my creative side with small crafts and photography.

My interest in massage therapy began when I was a young girl. My paternal Grandmother and my Mother would tell me stories of my families ancestral healers echoing the knowledge and tales from the past. They always told me that I had healing hands and from that time on, I knew healing would be my path in this life. 

I have been living and loving my life as a full time massage therapist since 2017, where I received my education at Onondaga School of Therapeutic Massage in New York State. Shortly after graduation I received my Reiki two level attuning, knowing that energetic modalities would be a major part of working with my clients.   I believe that the body has an innate ability to heal itself and I wish to utilize my expertise to assist every client in their healing process. Through listening to the body and thoughtful communication, I strive to create the ideal environment for the body to unwind and begin its healing work. 
I approach each session by creating a curated experience integrating different modality combinations including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, decompression or cupping therapy, hot stone therapy, knowledge of shiatsu meridians, and Reiki to address both physical and energetic issues in each client.

 My rooted interest in the medicines provided to us by Mother Earth inspire me everyday and as I continue to grow in my career. I hope to add Clinical Herbalism to my future healing practice, as well as attuning to Reiki level three. 

In my spare time you can find me hiking with my husband Rob and my sweet dog Kana, foraging for wild edibles, working in my garden, and knitting to relax after a long day
