Meet Your Spartanburg Team 

Dr. Dawn Garrison, DAOM

Navigating your health journey can be confusing and overwhelming, especially with the different resources and information available today. And many people are finding standard healthcare to be impersonal and dissatisfying.

That’s why I opened Carolina Family Acupuncture. As the only Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) in Spartanburg, SC, I offer a safe place for you to receive care and healing.

At Carolina Family Acupuncture, my knowledge of time-tested methods like acupuncture, herbal medicine, supplements, and other holistic treatments will guide you toward reaching your health goals.

You can find me treating at the clinic in Spartanburg, at the Gibbs Cancer Center in Pelham or making content for our 1,000,000 + social media followes. Regardless on how we connect I look forward to helping you feel your best.  

Grace Z. Minnella, DAC, L.Ac.

Grace is a doctor of acupuncture and has been practicing for over 20 years. She graduated from Tri-State college of acupuncture in New York City, the oldest and now defunct school in the Northeast with a master’s degree back in 2002, specializing in trigger points pain management, infertility, auto immune disorders, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), digestive issues, pre-peri and post menopausal symptoms.

She has developed an eclectic style of different types of acupuncture (Japanese, Korean, TCM, Vietnamese, Master Tung) uniquely combined for every patient and every treatment. Being a reiki master for over 24 years, she was always interested in working with energy. In 2020, she decided to return to school and get a Doctorate in Acupuncture from Pacific College of Health and Science in San Diego and the same year, she was certified with functional medicine Fast Track. She is now studying with Functional Medicine University and plans to be certified later this year so she can combine her acupuncture skills with functional medicine.
