Tierra Hardin, DOM, LAc, ADS

Dr. Tierra Hardin is a practitioner of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, licensed in the state of Maryland. She received her Doctorate in Oriental Medicine from Maryland University of Integrative Health in 2022. Her focus is on providing her patients with individualized, comprehensive care. Dr. Hardin approaches medicine by trying to understand what is not functioning in the body while considering the whole person, including mind, body, and lifestyle.

She attributes her inspiration for Integrative Medicine to her own health challenges. Since 2008, she encountered multiple brain surgeries, Lyme disease, and other chronic illnesses, which led her to seek other alternative ways of healing.

Her discovery of acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, and other natural healing modalities made a massive difference in her life. Wanting to share the success of her own recovery and help others in similar circumstances, she was inspired to become an Acupuncturist and Herbal Medicine Practitioner, as well as a Nutritionist. Dr. Hardin has a love for helping others.

Dr. Hardin’s passion for natural healing has led to additional certifications, specializations, and training in Neuro-acupuncture and Acupuncture for Oncology patients. Dr. Hardin completed her Doctoral internship at the Kaufman Cancer Center at University of Maryland in 2022. She is a certified Integrative Health and Nutrition Coach, certified Acupuncture Detox Specialist (ADS) established by the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association, certified Hospice and Palliative Care Acupuncture Specialist (CHPCAS), and certified Provider of Hospice and Palliative Care Acupuncture (CPHPCA). Dr. Hardin is currently studying Functional Medicine and will complete her Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition in 2023.
