Hi, i’m Dr. Kaely Shull
DAcHM, LAc, LCh, Dipl. OM, MSOM, ADS · Acupuncturist & Herbalist in Longmont and Louisville
I want everyone who comes through my door to feel at home in their body. Maybe you're dealing with pain that won't let up, maybe you want gentle support for your whole family, or maybe you'd like your skin to glow from the inside out. Wherever you're starting, I'll meet you there.
How My Path Began
Part of my training happened far from Colorado, in China's Yunnan Province. I worked inside a provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital and learned directly from traditional healers. One of my most memorable experiences was shadowing the hospital's oncology doctors. Patients received Western treatments like MRIs, chemotherapy and radiation to target the cancer itself. Right alongside that, they received acupuncture and Chinese herbs to ease the side effects. What struck me most was the patients themselves. They seemed far less worn down, physically and emotionally, than the patients I had seen back home. That was the moment it clicked for me: these two medicines don't compete. They work in harmony to care for the whole person, not just the condition. I came home with that philosophy, and it still guides every treatment I give.
Food taught me just as much. I was living in Kunming, but a trip to Zhongdian, high in the Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, showed me the energetics of food in real life. Zhongdian is colder and far more remote, so locals rely on warming foods rich in fat and protein. My first taste of yak butter tea was, let's say, a little traumatizing! But it opened my eyes. People in different climates, and with different constitutions, truly need different foods. It's the same principle behind how I diagnose and treat. In Chinese Medicine, we treat the pattern, not just the disease. Two people with the same headache may need completely different treatments, depending on their constitution and what's driving it. Food works the same way. What nourishes one person may not suit another, so food is often part of the plan we build together.

My Approach
Your first visit starts with a conversation, not a needle. I want to hear your whole story: your sleep, your stress, your digestion, and what you hope to feel like again. From there, I build a plan that may combine acupuncture, Chinese herbs and complementary therapies like Asian medical massage, cupping, or gua sha.
I also want you to leave each visit with something to take home. That might be a stretch, a food tweak or a simple habit that helps you feel more in charge of your own health between appointments.

your first visit
Book online in a couple of minutes, or call/text (303) 578-0869.
Fill out our online intake forms before you arrive, so we can spend our time on you.
We talk, I assess, and we treat. Plan on about 15-30 minutes for your first treatment starts.
You leave with a plan: what we're working on, how often to come in, and what you can do at home.
Nervous about needles? Confession: so am I! I'm needle-phobic too, and I still get acupuncture regularly, because it really doesn't hurt and it's that worth it. Acupuncture needles are about as thin as a hair and nothing like a shot. Most people barely feel them, and plenty of my patients doze off on the table. We'll go at your pace, and needle-free options are always available.
A Little Bit More About Me
When I'm not in the office, you'll probably find me curled up with my Kindle and our two cats, Salad and Lyla, who are convinced they run the house (they do). My amazing husband and I are huge soccer/football fans, and many of our favorite trips have been planned around a match. We're also proud, card-carrying nerds. On a night out with friends, we're usually racing the clock in an escape room, hanging out at a local brewery, or getting way too competitive over a board game.
