Dr. Maya Sarkisyan, Lic.Ac., D.O.M., is a Five-Element Acupuncturist, Herbalist, Master NLP and NET Practitioner, and Functional Medicine practitioner who bridges Chinese medicine, spirituality, nutrition, modern diagnostics, and advanced mind-body methodologies. She specializes in addressing emotional and spiritual disharmonies by integrating Five Element acupuncture with Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Functional Medicine to treat both the physical and emotional dimensions of health.
In her clinical practice, Maya works with diverse populations—from individuals navigating trauma and chronic illness to high performers preparing for pivotal life events, helping them dissolve entrenched patterns and achieve lasting transformation. As an educator, she is dedicated to equipping practitioners with practical, integrative tools that broaden therapeutic outcomes. Her CEU courses balance clear theoretical frameworks with hands-on strategies that practitioners can immediately apply in the treatment room.
Beyond her clinical and teaching roles, Maya is an ordained Daoist priestess in the American Dragon Gate Lineage under Shifu Li Chang Dao, with the lineage name Daoshi Xi Yan. She has also trained at Jianfu Temple in Qing Cheng Shan, China, receiving advanced instruction in Dragon Gate lineage Medicinal Talismans.
