Bill Mueller, Lic Ac

I would like to let you know about the most amazing and talented acupuncturist in the Boston/​Cambridge area. His name is William (Bill) Mueller at Cambridge Health Associates. To tell you my story about Bill, I have to share some background with you.
I met Bill in 2006 when I had just moved to Boston as a college student. I was referred to him by my former acupuncturist. Within a few months after moving to the East coast, meeting Bill and starting school, my life turned completely upside down. I did not know it at the time, but things were about to change in the best of ways. Life transitions can be tumultuous, and within a few months I was navigating through a painful divorce, dealing with the intense pressures of school, while working full-​time as a self-​employed business owner. Bill’s amazing acupuncture guided me to quiet places of peace, gave me strength, and brought tremendous healing to my heart at a time when my entire life seemed to be shattering around me. I might go into his office in tears and walk out, calm, centered, and at peace — with the feeling that I would make it through and everything would turn out ok. I think this is the magic of 5 Element acupuncture. You can experience healing not only in body, but in your spirit and emotions and it can give you strength to persevere. I feel this is what is sorely missing from western medicine. I also went to him for minor ailments, when I was overworked or exhausted, and his acupuncture always helped me heal from those ailments and gave me energy when I needed it most.
Bill’s work helped me through the divorce, and I redefined my identity in the three years he and I worked together. I met the love of my life, and we are still together today and parents to a wonderful child. At the end of my time in Boston, before I moved back to the West coast, I thanked Bill for his amazing gift of healing and the work we had done together. I remember that day so well — him smiling and me feeling such a sense of completion and accomplishment. Little did I know we would work together again someday.
Fast forward to three years later, during my pregnancy and after the birth of my son, I experienced a serious illness for the first time in my life. I struggled with this illness for two years, living in excruciating pain, wondering how I would make it through each day. This experience really changed my perspective and broadened my compassion. I had taken good health for granted all my life not knowing that there are millions of people that live with tremendous pain and suffering every day. At times I felt hopeless — as western medicine could do nothing to help me. But somewhere in the back of my mind I thought of Bill. I intuitively knew he could help me. In crisis, our family moved back to the East coast to be near family and for me to see Bill. When I saw him again for the first time in years, his face was full of such compassion and concern. Upon his suggestion, we began a course of acupuncture and Chinese herbal treatment. His colleague, the talented Deborah Lemont (Chinese herbal medicine/​acupuncture) collaborated with him to bring me back to health.
It took a long time, two years of steady regular treatment, for my illness and symptoms to abate. I am happy to say I have not had a relapse in almost a year. Not only have he and Deborah given me my health back, but some other wonderful changes have occurred in the midst of healing from this illness. I now feel more deeply connected to my truest self than I ever have in my life. Bill somehow saw the real me — the me that everyone (including myself) overlooked. His work has helped bring this part of me out into the light in the most fulfilling of ways. Perhaps that is his greatest gift — he has the ability to see the core of a person’s soul and the skill as an acupuncturist to help them reconnect with that core. I am eager to continue our work to see how much better, how much more delightful life can become.
There are many unsung heroes in this world, people that dedicate their lives in service to healing and helping others. They do quiet work, — a work that often goes unnoticed. Bill is one of those heroes and hopefully now (no longer unsung). I am singing his praises to the world. If you want to change your life for the better and experience some real healing magic — go see this man. I owe him my life and I believe he can help change yours.
