About Adesso Acupuncture

More Than Recovery—Lasting Wellness

Adesso means ‘now’ in Italian. Our goal is to jumpstart your path to recovery by unlocking your body’s natural healing processes and enhancing overall vitality. We offer a calm, nurturing healthcare environment intentionally designed to support whole-body healing, relaxation and clarity throughout your health journey.

At Adesso Acupuncture, we value the uniqueness of every individual and understand that each person requires a tailored approach to support their mental, physical and spiritual well-being. Our focus is not only on restoring health, but on maintaining it. We believe patients should be active participants in achieving their personal health goals, and we strive to empower and educate them to optimize their overall well-being. Throughout the course of care, we continuously assess and refine our treatments, providing the tools needed—such as stress reduction, nutritional guidance, lifestyle modifications and referrals—to support long-term health.

Rooted in Balance. Guided by Care.

I’m Ali Hammond, a Nationally Board-Certified Acupuncturist dedicated to helping others achieve lasting wellness through the transformative power of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

I grew up in Central Virginia, where I first discovered acupuncture during my own journey toward better health. I now hold a Master’s degree in Acupuncture from Virginia University of Integrative Medicine, where I had the privilege of treating hundreds of patients. I continue to refine my skills through ongoing education and hands-on patient care.

Outside of acupuncture, I enjoy alternative process photography, taking walks along the river with my dog and playing in the garden.
