Melissa Laborsky MD

My gateway to healing began with traditional Western Medicine. In 2003, I graduated from Indiana University School of Medicine. I completed residency in Family Medicine at Adventist La Grange Memorial Hospital in 2006. During the next two years I expanded my family and practiced Family Medicine through two volunteer clinics in the Indianapolis area. In 2008, I began practicing in a concierge medical practice.

Through an emotional awakening in my own life, I became aware of the deep connections between the mind and body. I began to explore these connections with my patients, which opened a new direction for healing. It was also during this time that my family moved from the midwest to the east coast. My professional journey began with the Center for Mind-Body Medicine. I started teaching Mind-Body Skills groups in 2008 and became a Certified Practitioner of Mind-Body Medicine in 2011.

To explore deeper healing to the level of spirit, I began training in Tao of Medical Qigong with completion of certification in 2010. When I experienced the concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine through the Tao of Medical Qigong, I felt drawn to pursue acupuncture training to bring this invaluable healing art to my patients. I completed medical acupuncture training in 2009. In April 2011, I became a certified Dragon’s Way ® Instructor. In 2013, I completed a year long apprenticeship with Nan Lu, OMD of the Tao of Healing in New York City a Master of Taoist Chinese Medicine. 2013 also brought my family full circle with a return to the heartland, Indiana.

My view of Western and Eastern Medicine is like the symbol of the Yin/Yang. They in some ways are opposites; however, they contain elements of each other, balance, and support each other. This reflects my holistic approach to your health and healing.

In 2007, I developed a constellation of physical and emotional symptoms ranging from allergies, recurrent sinusitis, digestive imbalance, and asthma to anxiety/depression and insomnia. At this same time, I was immersed in an intense emotional awakening in my life. My healing journey lead me to a Taoist Master that revealed "At the Spiritual level there is no disease or illness. There is only undiscovered purpose." All symptoms have a message / guidance. The key to wellness lies within.
