Ad Hartman’s path to becoming an acupuncturist wasn’t a linear one. Driven by burnout, he embarked on a journey of self-revelation that led him to a fulfilling career in holistic healing. “I didn’t choose acupuncture; it chose me. It came my way,” says Ad, who established Medi-Qi Acupuncture & Lifestyle within the Heel de Mens health center.His journey began years earlier as a sports masseur, fueled by a desire to explore deeper healing practices. This led him to Chinese medical massage and eventually, acupuncture. His dream was to practice within a health center, a vision realized when he joined Heel de Mens.
“We don’t just use needles,” Ad explains, emphasizing the extensive nature of his practice.”Techniques like moxa,cupping,gua sha,massage,herbal remedies,and nutritional advice are all integral parts of what we do here at Medi-Qi.”
Ad believes that acupuncture distinguishes itself through its preventative approach. “Western healthcare often focuses on treating illness after it arises. Chinese medicine, however, looks at the subtle signals your body sends *before* something goes wrong. It’s about finding balance, paying attention, and taking a holistic approach.”
Dedicated to staying at the forefront of his field, Ad is a member of a trade association and adheres to mandatory continuing education requirements.
Ad’s expertise extends to a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, digestive issues, infertility, and menopausal complaints. “Many people come to me for chronic conditions that haven’t responded to conventional treatments. I’m often able to offer relief, and the results can be truly remarkable. People often tell me, ‘I wish I had known about this sooner,’ and sometimes even call me a magician!” he says with a chuckle.
despite the near-millennial history of acupuncture and its proven effectiveness, skepticism still exists. Ad acknowledges this, saying, “Some people say acupuncture isn’t proven or that it only works if you believe in it. But acupuncture has been practiced for nearly 5,000 years. If it didn’t work, it wouldn’t still be around.”
Medi-Qi offers a comprehensive approach to wellness, encompassing acupuncture and various massage therapies, including medical, relaxation, and sports massage. Ad also incorporates cupping therapy and provides personalized lifestyle advice. “Health begins with what and how you eat,” he emphasizes. “Incorrect nutrition is a root cause of many ailments. I can even identify food intolerances through blood tests.”
Interested in exploring the transformative potential of acupuncture and holistic wellness? Ad encourages potential clients to schedule a consultation. “I allot 1.5 hours for the initial consultation, which includes treatment. This allows me to conduct a thorough diagnosis and provide tailored guidance.”

For Ad, the path to becoming an acupuncturist wasn’t a straightforward one. It began with a passion for the healing power of touch, starting as a sports masseur.This led them to explore the world of Chinese medical massage, which ultimately ignited a captivation with acupuncture. “It wasn’t an immediate passion,” Ad shares, “but acupuncture chose me.” Ad dove headfirst into a six-year training program, captivated by the holistic approach and profound potential of this ancient practice.
What truly sets acupuncture apart, Ad explains, is its focus on prevention. It’s not just about treating illness once it manifests, but rather identifying imbalances in the body before they even arise.

While Western medicine tends to focus on treating illness once it arises, traditional chinese medicine emphasizes prevention and addressing imbalances before they escalate.”
