Acupuncture in Nashville
Twenty-five years of classical Chinese medicine — and the only DACM in Nashville pairing it with subconscious change work.
Built for executives, founders, physicians, and recording artists carrying what no one around them can see.

Dr. Tara Perry is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) with twenty-five years of clinical practice — including ten years on faculty at Emperor's College and an inaugural appointment at the UCLA Arthur Ashe Center. Her Nashville practice at AcuVitale focuses on nervous-system regulation for executives, founders, performers, and physicians.
Most acupuncturists treat symptoms. Dr. Tara treats the meridian system as the substrate of the nervous system, and pairs treatment with her three-session subconscious protocol when the underlying pattern is psychological. Sessions are private, calm, and structured around your calendar.
Is this for you
The protocol is built for a specific person.
- You want a clinician with doctoral-level training, not a technician with a license.
- Your nervous system is the limiter and you know it.
- You'd rather treat the system than the symptom.
- Privacy and unhurried sessions matter.

Frequently asked
What people ask before they apply.
- What conditions do you treat?
- Primary focus is nervous-system dysregulation — anxiety, burnout, insomnia, performance stress, hormonal regulation, and chronic tension patterns. For acute orthopedic work, she'll refer to a colleague better matched.
- How is a DACM different from an LAc?
- A Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine has completed clinical doctoral training beyond the master's-level licensure required to practice. It's the difference between someone qualified to treat and someone qualified to teach the teachers.
- Do you take insurance?
- Out-of-network only. We provide superbills for reimbursement.
- Where is the clinic?
- AcuVitale, Nashville. Serving Belle Meade, Green Hills, Brentwood, Franklin, East Nashville, and Music Row.
