Lynda Bess, L.Ac., MSTCM
Lynda Bess is the founder of Silk Tree Acupuncture, LLC, established in 2013, and the current owner of Acupuncture Associates of Castle Rock.
While Lynda has profound respect and in-depth knowledge of mainstream Western medicine, she passionately believes in wellness and preventive care. She believes in empowering individuals to maintain optimal health through early intervention and support, focusing on the protection of our immune system. Helping patients navigate a possible confusing or scary medical diagnosis gives the patient confidence to participate in their own medical care.
Lynda’s approach to acupuncture is not just about physical healing but also about fostering mental well-being. She values acupuncture’s role in relaxation, stress management, and overall emotional health. Her practice includes the use of common herbal formulas that support immune health and cellular regeneration.
Lynda initially discovered the benefits of acupuncture and herbal medicine in 2002 while seeking treatment for digestion issues and anxiety. Experiencing the benefits of this medicine drove her learn more and apply to grad school specifically to help others feel better. Lynda believes the connection between stress and disease is undeniable, and particularly enjoys giving her patients time to decompress. Lynda, herself, has dealt with obstacles in her health that remind her we must stay diligent in giving our bodies the tools to get healthy and STAY healthy. A stage IIIa breast cancer diagnosis in 2017 reinvigorated Lynda’s quest to help people navigate better health. Grateful for her medical team, surgeries, chemo and radiation, Lynda will openly share how her own intuition helped save her own life.
Beyond her professional life, Lynda is an outdoor enthusiast. She is an avid fly fisher and has served as a volunteer guide for Casting for Recovery, supporting breast cancer survivors. Lynda also works part-time as a children’s alpine ski instructor in Beaver Creek, and enjoys golfing, traveling, cooking, and home improvement projects.
