Experience the Healing Power of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
Margaret Weiser Dipl. Ac, L.Ac, MAcCHM, LMT is here for you at any stage of your healing. She works to bridge the gap between the ancient wisdom of acupuncture and Chinese medicine and modern health concerns to get you results.
Meet Margaret
Having been a bodyworker in practice for over a decade, Margaret has a particular skill in directing the delicate dance between analytical reasoning and intuitive understanding. While highly perceptive, she also excels in grounding down the thoughts, emotions, and feelings involved in disharmony with the detailed knowledge learned in her years of schooling in medicine. She has studied medicine from both Western and Eastern/holistic disciplines, starting when she was in college with a pre-med focus and then continuing after with her massage and later, her acupuncture education.
It is her view that healing is for everyone that drives her to continue her pursuit of different treatment methodologies. She dreams that by doing all she can with her community, she can strengthen those around her and spread healing to those they are in contact with, making a more compassionate and empowered world.
When Margaret’s not in the office or studying, she loves being outside hiking, camping, and being near water. Back home in Denver, she enjoys gardening in her community garden plot, crafting macrame, painting, spending time with her rabbit, Henry, and going to see live music.

Acupuncture is becoming increasingly recognized for its potential role in supporting individuals undergoing psychedelic therapy. With the help of the Esoteric Acupuncture modality, I offer acupuncture to help one get more out of a psychedelic journey, either in the preparation stage or post-journey in the integration phase. This holistic approach can complement the therapeutic effects of psychedelics, providing a more comprehensive strategy for emotional and mental health management.
Psychedelic Integration
Treatment Packages (Acupuncture Only)
To help with the financial aspect of treatment, I offer 8-session packages.
Expiration: 12 weeks from the first appointment in package
Why such a short term?
The best and most long-lasting results come when a condition is treated frequently and consistently, especially when starting treatment. Ideally, when starting off on an acupuncture treatment program, one gets a session 1-2 times weekly for at least the first month.
Packages are only offered for acupuncture.
Packages are only sold over the phone or in person, no online sales.
60 Minute Follow Up Package
$632, a savings of $80
90 Minute Follow Up Package
$854, a savings of $115
Psychedelic Integration
What is it?
Psychedelic-assisted therapy has been emerging in the Denver area over the past few years to help people process trauma. While I do not offer psychedelic-assisted therapy, I am happy to assist with preparation for a journey or help with integration afterward.
Integration is the process of sorting through experiences during a psychedelic journey and implementing the healing takeaways into everyday life.
Reminder! My office is a 100% sober zone. Patients arriving under the influence of any mind-altering substances will have their session canceled and will incur a 100% session fee. Transportation to a safe place will be arranged via a friend, family member, or rideshare.
How does acupuncture help with this?
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) operate under the understanding that intricate relationships and processes occur between the organs to sustain good health. When one or more of these processes or relationships are weakened, disharmonies can appear. Acupuncture and TCM work to correct this by assisting appropriate nerve activity to the organs and tissues.
Trauma disrupts the relationship between the Heart and the Kidneys, fracturing the pathway between them. The damage to this pathway results in symptoms and syndromes we commonly understand as anxiety, depression, insomnia, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, panic disorder, and on. Psychedelic substances work to clear blockages along this pathway caused by trauma, and acupuncture then steps in to help heal these fractures.
It’s important to note that acupuncture is not a substitute for professional counseling, which is a crucial component in the process of healing trauma.
What does a psychedelic integration session look like at this practice?
In my psychedelic integration sessions, I use Esoteric Acupuncture because this modality’s primary focus is on healing the Heart and Kidney connection.
During a session, the patient is welcome to ask me any questions they’d like before I leave the room for them to get settled on the table. There is no requirement to share details about the trauma, the medicine used during the journey, or the experiences had unless the patient wishes to do so. Everything shared during the session is completely confidential.
The body is needled, and the needles are retained while the patient meditates quietly, either alone or with me in the room.
This process is highly internal and personal. Trauma healing often requires talking and being vulnerable with one’s story, but this treatment doesn’t demand that. It’s a neurological rewiring process, supported by a practitioner, where patients can choose to stay as quiet or as expressive as they please. The focus is on healing trauma at the cellular level.
How often is acupuncture needed for psychedelic integration?
These sessions are needed less frequently than traditional acupuncture, as the healing process emphasizes personal work on emotional trauma.
I recommend scheduling a session a few days before a journey and another within a week afterward. Because this healing process unfolds slowly, additional integration sessions may be needed weeks or months later, depending on individual progress.
