Meet Sherrie

Sherrie Trede Black, RN, JD, MAc, LAc, received her Masters of Acupuncture from Tai Sophia Institute, now Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH), Laurel MD, in 2005, and continues to serve there as an adjunct faculty member.

Sherrie believes that achieving health and wellness requires a whole person approach, one that may require lifestyle changes to diet, sleep hygiene, exercise, and stress reduction to move you from a place of “dis-ease” to healing. Sherrie calls upon her knowledge of Acupuncture and conventional medicine, low glycemic eating, and nutritional supplementation, to help her clients reach their wellness goals. See, sherrieblackwellness.com. Using these tools, she brings wellness and vitality to the lives of her clients.

Sherrie compassionately supports her clients as they heal and realize the fullness of their potential. Her patient and tending nature gives them the space to engage in this process at their own unique pace. Sherrie is committed to being fully present to each moment for herself and her clients. She creates an environment in her treatment room that encourages her clients to meet each day with gratitude and to see the small daily gifts that give life meaning.

Sherrie obtained a Diploma in Nursing from Allentown Hospital Nurses College. What followed was a diverse career as a Registered Nurse in surgical and cardiac intensive care, oncology, and post-operative open heart surgery at various hospitals, including the National Institutes of Health, Clinical Center, Bethesda, Maryland. This experience allows Sherrie to talk with your doctors about your complaints and treatment, and together create a unified team approach to speed your healing.

Pursuing further education, Sherrie obtained her BA in Sociology from George Washington University, and subsequently a Juris Doctorate from the Washington College of Law, American University. As a lawyer for 30 years, she acted as mediator, litigator and counsel. Sherrie’s clients value the skills she gained as a lawyer to see the big picture, ask insightful questions, and speak with clarity. Through attentive listening, she is able to support and coach you on ways to meet your life objectives and live your passions.

Sherrie has successfully treated men and women for a wide array of diseases and symptoms, including neck and back pain, arthritis pain, hypertension, GIRD, IBS, migraine and other headaches, anxiety, surgical rehabilitation, and depression, to name a few. In 2013, Sherrie enhanced the breadth and depth of her practice by obtaining her Post Masters Certificate in Women’s Holistic Health from MUIH. Since then she has worked extensively with women to support them through all phases of their reproductive health. With the help of acupuncture to restore the body’s natural balance and fluidity, Sherrie has helped bring relief to such women’s health concerns as:

• Infertility
• Menopausal symptoms
• Irregular and painful periods
• PMS
• Nausea and vomiting, low back pain, and carpel tunnel pain, and other issues associated with pregnancy
• Postpartum challenges, including depression and lactation
• Endometriosis
• Fibroids
• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
• Side effects related to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation used to treat breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer

Sherrie continued her women’s health studies with such notable wise women and healers as Judith Duerk, author of many books, including Circles of Stone. She has studied with Dr. Randine Lewis, author of The Infertility Cure and The Way to the Fertile Soul, and Donna Keefe, LAc, a noted specialist in fertility and other women’s health care issues and teacher at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, San Diego, California. She has studied Classical Chinese Obstetrics, Conception to Delivery, and has recently embarked on a Masters Class on treating women from puberty to menopause. Sherrie uses the highest quality organic essential oils with skill to enhance acupuncture point function and will teach you how to use these oils at home for stress reduction, immune support, hormone balance, and healing.

More than 15 years ago Sherrie played a pivotal role in planning and opening the Wellness Center at Howard Community College and continues to offer community acupuncture to students, faculty, and staff at that location. In 2017, Sherrie was honored to be appointed by Governor Larry Hogan to the Maryland Board of Acupuncture.

Sherrie is a student of Tai Chi Ch’uan and Qi Gong. She values these ancient practices in her personal life for their calming and restorative powers. Sherrie elegantly integrates her life experiences as wife, mother, grandmother, and community leader, with her knowledge of Eastern Asian and conventional medicine, and her extensive training in nutrition and nutritional supplementation, to offer you complete and compassionate care.
