Surrender is Chattanooga's immersive space for collective healing.
We bring together acupuncture, meditation, education, and community into shared experiences that invite you to slow down, reconnect, and cultivate a deeper relationship with yourself.
Our work is rooted in the timeless principles of Chinese medicine while remaining grounded in the realities of modern living. We believe ancient wisdom shouldn't feel mysterious or inaccessible—it should be practical, experiential, and something you can carry into your everyday life.
We're not here to give you all the answers.
We're here to create a space where curiosity is welcomed, questions are explored, and healing can unfold in its own way and in its own time.
What We Do
Each session, we gather for a 60-minute collective acupuncture experience inspired by the wisdom of Traditional Chinese medicine.
Every session thoughtfully weaves together:
A carefully curated acupuncture treatment
Guided meditation
Storytelling and education
Seasonal wisdom
Space for stillness and reflection
Each week explores a new theme, observes changes and rhythms of seasons, introduces organ functions and the roles of emotional energetics that shape our overall health and wellbeing.
Rather than simply talking about these concepts, we invite you to experience them.
The intention is not only to help settle the mind and relax the body, but to transform knowledge into lived wisdom — giving you tools you can use outside the treatment space and integrate into your everyday life.

What We Believe
At Surrender, we believe:
Every person already possesses an innate capacity for health and healing.
Health can have many definitions.
Healing looks different for everyone.
Different tools resonate with different people.
Balance restores when given the right conditions.
Healing doesn’t always mean fixing something that is broken.
Rest is productive.
Awareness is medicine.
Community is necessary.
Experience brings wisdom.
Our role isn't to tell you what your healing should look like.
Our role is to offer a space, share meaningful tools, and introduce perspectives that empower you to define what health means to you.
Why We Practice Together
While much of modern healthcare happens behind closed doors, we believe there is something profoundly healing about being in community.
Resting together. Breathing together. Learning together. Receiving together.
Within these shared experiences, we are reminded that we are not alone. Community provides support, knowledge is shared, tools are explored, and connections are cherished.
Sometimes the greatest medicine is realizing that others walk beside you.
Our Goal
Our goal isn't to heal you or promise that our sessions will make all your problems go away.
Our goal is to create the conditions where healing becomes possible. Where you can Surrender and let life unfold.
We provide the space.
We share the wisdom.
We offer the tools.
We hold the community.
You bring your willingness, to pause, to soften, and to let go.
Health isn't something we can give you. Health is something you continue to explore, define, and live.

Hi Pretty Little Thang!
Thank you for being here! I am so honored with your presence and curiosity.
This started as a daydream to distract me from my studies. But over time this daydream became somewhat of an obsession that I couldn’t put away. Now, it’s becoming something kinda sorta very real.
After closing my first business and moving across the country to a city where I didn't know a single person—a place I quite literally dreamed about (IYKYK)— it has been quite the journey to Surrender, to trust life, and to remember that I already have everything I need.
I’d love to tell you that I’ve mastered the art of Surrendering.
The truth? I'm still practicing. And more often than not, fumbling AFFFFF.
NGL, it’s extremely difficult. I still catch myself rushing through tasks, trying to force things into place, lying awake during Liver hour overanalyzing my next move, and getting extremely tangled in the endless chatter and chaos of my mind.
Maybe you know that feeling, too.
Surrender is the space I wish I had during those moments.
A place to slow down. To pause. To breathe. To soften. To ask better questions. To learn. To explore. To reconnect. All the while, to feel safe enough to not know.
My hope is that this becomes more than just a place to receive treatment. I hope it becomes a space where you feel safe enough to be curious, supported enough to soften, and empowered enough to trust yourself a little more each time you walk through the door.
If we've already crossed paths, thank you for the love, encouragement, and support you've shown me over the years. I truly wouldn't be here without you.
And if we haven't met yet, thank you for taking a chance on something new. I can't wait to welcome you into this space.
With so much gratitude,
Jerr <3
