Healing at the intersection of medicine, spirit, and virtue.
Through acupuncture, qigong, herbal medicine, and the application contemplative wisdom, I support healing on all levels: physical, emotional, and spiritual. My aim is to help you restore balance, cultivate virtue, and live in harmony with your true nature.
At the heart of my work is the recognition that each person is a spark of the Divine—never separate from the spiritual wholeness of life. My foremost responsibility is to witness this truth in each patient. This sacred recognition is itself a form of healing, and it shapes everything I offer.
I view each patient as a multidimensional being—soul, energy, and body—interwoven through the layers of Shen (awareness), Qi (vital energy), and Jing (physical form). My role is to discern where disharmony lies and how it affects the whole system, then respond with appropriate care.
I draw from classical Chinese medicine, Qigong therapy, and spiritual philosophy to restore balance, clarity, and vitality. Modalities may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, Qigong, nutritional guidance, and meditative or lifestyle practices rooted in various wisdom traditions.
Healing is not just the removal of symptoms—it is the remembering of wholeness, the restoration of harmony with the natural and divine order.

“I have been coming to the Well Space since it’s inception. Michael Perfetto is a gifted practitioner. He uses a combination of techniques to treat you. In addition to accupuncture, Michael teaches Qigong, leads amazing meditations, and practices traditional Chinese medicine. I always leave my sessions feeling refreshed and healed.
There is something magical about the Well Space. I would encourage anyone to come here for treatment. You won’t find a better place.”
“Everyone has a different understanding and appreciation of acupuncture, meditation, herbs, and overall wellness. Michael does an amazing job capturing where you currently are in your path to wellness and encouraging you on your journey with realistic practices & encouragement.”
“I look forward to my appointments with Michael - it’s my hour of zen! I always know that he will listen to my concerns and provide me with a wonderfully supportive and calming atmosphere. I always feel so rejuvenated and relaxed after my treatments. Even if I am not feeling physically symptomatic at the time of my appointment, I still feel renewed and centered, mentally.
Michael has made me realize that the body does indeed have the power to heal. It is an all encompassing process, a journey that we have to work at everyday. Some days are more challenging than others, but since I’ve begun my treatments, I have realized that I do have the capacity to heal and overcome other road blocks that come way - be it health related, work related or personal.” ”
“The first time I saw Michael, he was so kind and caring. He took his time to ask me exactly what was bothering me without me feeling that I was been rushed out of his office. He explained to me how acupuncture works, his bedside manners are amazing. After a few visits, he was able to make my leg pain go away after months of dealing with it and seeking the assistance of other practitioners who recommended shots and surgery. I know that he will fix what continues to bother me.”
