NCCAOM Board Certified Acupuncturist/Licensed Michigan Acupuncturist
Emily Liburdi, Dipl. OM, MSTOM, L.Ac.
Board-Certified Acupuncturist and Herbalist
Emily Liburdi is nationally board-certified in both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine through the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). She is also certified by the Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine (CCHAM) and is a licensed acupuncturist in the state of Michigan.
Emily earned her Bachelor of Science degree with high honors after completing all premedical coursework at Wayne State University. Before pursuing Traditional Chinese Medicine, she worked extensively in the medical field, including alongside Pain Management physicians and at a Physical Therapy Institute assisting with patient rehabilitation. These experiences gave her a well-rounded understanding of both acute and chronic pain from both Eastern and Western medical perspectives.
Inspired to integrate these approaches, Emily completed her Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Pacific College of Health and Science in Chicago, where she studied both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine over a rigorous four-year program.
Since becoming board-certified in Michigan in 2010, Emily has treated thousands of patients with a wide range of conditions affecting both men and women.
She pioneered Michigan’s first hospital-based community acupuncture program, promoting affordability and shared healing.
Today, she is the founder and director of Michigan TCM Wellness Center in downtown Utica, where she continues to offer both private and community acupuncture treatments.
Emily is also a Certified Detoxification Specialist and member of the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA), and she actively supports professional standards as a member of the Michigan Society of Acupuncturists (MISA).

Nationally Board-Certified and Michigan-Licensed Acupuncturist
“My vision is to bring acupuncture and herbal medicine to the forefront of community wellness—promoting them not only as treatments, but as powerful tools for preventive care. I founded Michigan TCM Wellness Center in 2010, following several years of hospital-based experience in Integrative Medicine.
Today, I continue to bridge Eastern and Western approaches to healthcare, offering comprehensive care to individuals in all stages of health. I believe healing is most effective when it’s collaborative—between practitioner and client—and guided by respect, communication, and shared goals.
I look forward to working together in support of your wellness journey.”
