Unlocking Balance: A Healing Journey with Dr. Lin at Nemacolin
Tucked into the tranquil hills of Pennsylvania’s Laurel Highlands, Nemacolin offers more than indulgence … it offers renewal. For those seeking a wellness experience that speaks to science and spirit, a visit with Dr. Jerry Lin, DACM, Dipl. O.M. (NCCAOM), L.Ac., may just be the transformation you didn’t know was needed.
Several years ago, Dr. Lin joined the staff of Nemacolin and the resort’s Holistic Healing Center, bringing with him an exceptional blend of clinical experience, academic insight, and intuitive care. He holds a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) and is licensed to practice in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Maryland. In addition to being recognized by and holding a diplomate from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), Dr. Lin has also served as an instructor at the New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Lotus Professional College in Richmond, Virginia.
At Nemacolin, Dr. Lin leads the resort’s acupuncture and apothecary offerings at the Holistic Healing Center. His approach is rooted in ancient Eastern wisdom, refined by modern clinical training, and elevated by the thoughtful service you’ve come to expect from this one-of-a-kind destination.
He says of his work at the resort, “It’s one of the proudest things I’ve done. It’s more than a job. It’s my heart’s work.”
Rediscover Your Vitality
Dr. Lin’s journey into Eastern medicine began with his own health experience — a pivotal moment that shaped his life’s direction. “I was originally drawn to acupuncture and Oriental medicine through a personal health experience — witnessing how Eastern medicine could restore balance where Western approaches had plateaued,” he says.
“The defining moment came during my clinical training when a patient with chronic pain left the treatment room in tears — of relief, of joy. That transformation confirmed this was more than a profession; it was a calling to help others reclaim their vitality.”
When you reserve a session with Dr. Lin, you’re stepping into the same tradition that restored his own well-being.
What to Expect: Calm, Connection, and Care
Your time with Dr. Lin is never one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re arriving with a specific concern or simply looking to reset, the experience begins with a thorough, thoughtful evaluation. “My days are a mix of science, intuition, and human connection,” he explains. “The most fulfilling part is seeing guests shift from stress or discomfort to a place of peace and restoration, knowing they’ve been truly seen and supported … watching someone go from tension to calm, from fatigue to light in their eyes.”
Treatments may include acupuncture, herbal remedies from the apothecary he created and established, chromotherapy, sound baths, breath work, cryotherapy, or infrared sauna. Yet even more than the methods, it’s the intention behind the care that stays with you. “Sometimes I use needles, herbs, or sound therapy — other times, just listening deeply,” he adds.
This blend of intuition and clinical skill creates a rare kind of therapeutic space where one’s emotional, physical, and energy needs are honored in equal measure.
