soaring spirit wellness

The idea for Soaring Spirit Wellness was born out of a desire to provide a welcoming space and community where students feel supported in their exploration of yoga and wellness.

In September of 2020, our studio space in Occoquan closed during the pandemic and we became a fully virtual studio. In 2025, a new space has opened once again in beautiful Spotsylvania with offerings including Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine!

ABOUT NANCY TALLEY

Diplomate of Acupuncture

I am a NCCAOM-certified professional and am licensed in both Virginia and Maryland. A Diplomate of Acupuncture is an acupuncturist who is certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM®). It is a considerable professional achievement to earn this designation.

VUIM Graduate, Doctorate and Masters of Acupuncture

I graduated from the Virginia University of Integrated Medicine (VUIM) with my doctorate in 2025. In 2023 I completed my Masters of Acupuncture also at VUIM. I was on the Dean’s list from 2020-2023 and received three academic scholarships during my time there, maintaining a GPA of 3.85. I served on the Student Advisory Committee, helping to orient new students to the school and I have done extensive research and study on helping women through their menopausal journey with acupuncture, mindfulness, yoga and reiki.

500 Hour E-RYT®, YACEP®, Yoga Teacher Training School

Prior to my acupuncture career, I owned Soaring Spirit Yoga, a yoga studio in Occoquan, VA for 11 years. The idea for Soaring Spirit Yoga Studio was born out of a desire to provide a welcoming space and community where students feel supported in their exploration of yoga and wellness. As a 500 hour E-RYT® and YACEP® through Yoga Alliance I studied at both White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara, CA and Beloved Yoga in Reston, VA. I became a Registered Yoga Teacher Training School in 2016 for students at both the 200 hour and 500 hour levels.

Thai Yoga Therapist Level 1

I studied the healing art of Thai Yoga Therapy at White Lotus in Santa Barbara, CA in 2015. This ancient and sacred system of healing has roots in yoga, Ayurvedic medicine and Buddhist spiritual practice. It is a unique and powerful system of yoga therapy, which combines rhythmic massage, acupressure, palming and thumbing along energy lines (the “channels” in Traditional Chinese Medicine), and gentle stretching. Like yoga postures and acupressure, it works deeply on the skeletal, muscular, lymphatic, endocrine and nervous systems. Thai yoga stimulates and balances the flow of healing energy within the body, opens the areas which are blocked, and increases balance and harmony for health, happiness and overall wellbeing.

Reiki Master

I am a Reiki Master, studying under Noor Jihan in Occoquan, VA in 2017. Reiki literally translates from Japanese as ‘universal life-force energy.’ As a practice, Reiki is a gentle, relaxing, non-invasive non-injurious, channeling of this energy from the Reiki Practitioner to a recipient, usually done by placing the hands over the body, sometimes lightly touching (i.e. head, hands, shoulders, feet). The channeled energy promotes peace of mind, emotions, and increases the ‘universal life-force energy’ within the body of the recipient. This increase in life-force energy stimulates the body’s own healing processes, and can help decrease pain, stress, and encourage faster recovery from illness and injury.

Where To Find Me

I am currently practicing out of Collage Spa in Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania and Culpeper, VA. You can also find me at Vital Qi, a lovely community acupuncture space in Richmond. My private space is located in Spotsylvania, VA. To learn more about me, including my professional education and philosophy on health and wellness, please send me a message.
