Colleen Hiban

I am a licensed acupuncturist in the state of Arizona. My training began at The Won Institute in Philadelphia, PA, where I studied the foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I later continued my education at the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture in Gainesville, FL, where I deepened my understanding of Five Element theory and its applications.

My decision to pursue acupuncture professionally grew out of my own healing. Acupuncture shifted the way I breathed, felt, and moved through the world. It gave me space to reconnect with myself and offered a profound sense of change that continues to guide me. Experiencing this transformation firsthand inspired me to dedicate my life to the practice of acupuncture.

As a white practitioner engaging with a healing tradition outside of my own culture, I remain mindful of the responsibility that comes with this work. I am committed to listening, learning, and practicing accountability so that I can hold space with integrity and contribute to collective healing and liberation.

My practice is rooted in attunement, curiosity, and presence. I aim to help clients cultivate greater ease and balance in their bodies and lives. Through treatment, I support the release of internal discomfort while enhancing resilience across the mental, emotional, and physical dimensions of well-being.
