Aurora Raiten, L.Ac.

Aurora graduated in 2010 with a Masters degree from Tri-State College of Acupuncture. She synthesizes several traditions of East Asian medicine in her practice, drawing heavily from the Japanese style of one of her college mentors, Kiiko Matsumoto.

Aurora is especially interested in treating the varied presentations of chronic illness such as Lyme disease, particularly focusing on neurological, gastrointestinal, and pain. With a long history of training and competing in Muay Thai, Aurora always appreciates the opportunity to work with athletes of all levels. Having worked as a full-spectrum doula for many years, Aurora also loves treating reproductive health in people of all genders, and has found acupuncture to be extremely helpful through the gender affirmation process. It is Aurora’s intention to to create and hold a radically inclusive, individually empowering space for all bodies to receive care.

Hiking, wildcrafting, and mushroom hunting have become favorite pastimes when not in the clinic, as well as very loudly playing bass guitar in her band. After spending a few years away, Aurora is ecstatic to be back in Baltimore with her amazing partner and two ridiculous cats.
