Andrea Cyr, LAc, MCM, Acupuncturist
Andrea (She/Her) is National Board certified and licensed by the State Medical Board to practice acupuncture medicine. She has established her career and reputation through years of experience treating clients in a broad range of settings including her own private practice.
Her experience has given her the necessary tools and wisdom to treat a wide variety of patients. Andrea works with people of all ages and a broad range of physical and emotional symptoms including pain, internal imbalances with digestion, respiration, the nervous system, reproduction, anxiety and depression. She assists people as they face the transitions that life presents at all stages of growth and aging. Something Andrea is enjoying about her practice currently is the resiliency she sees around her. “We are all learning how to care for ourselves and each other in new ways.”
When working with Andrea, patients can expect careful listening and inquiry to build an accurate picture or what they’re experiencing. She uses her gentle and versatile application of training and experience to address the whole person.
She shares, “What I love about this work right now is how you can walk in with a list of seemingly unrelated symptoms and feelings, and with some time, begin to feel more oriented with a useful lens for looking at how all the details of your experience right now fit together. That’s when SuNu care and self-care come together to provide sustainable support for how you want to show up in this world.”
With her patient’s needs, goals and comfort level in mind, Andrea’s treatments address the causes of underlying imbalances in the whole system that affect their quality of life, sleep, ability to connect with others and to pursue what is important to them. Her work, while dynamic, broad and expansive, is individualized to meet the needs of her patient.
Andrea enjoys being a part of SuNu in particular because of the energy and effort that goes into life-long learning. The benefit that commitment to growth offers the entire community of clients and providers is one of a kind.
“As a practitioner of traditional medicine from a culture that is not my own, I acknowledge cultural appropriation has happened and still happens in the health and wellness field. I am committed to educating myself about structural and systemic racism (including when it targets people of East Asian and Pacific Island descent) and working to make changes. I hope to exercise grace and openness when it comes to my own mistakes so I can learn and adjust.
For me, East Asian Medicine, to the extent that I learn and practice, can help people with all of the big and little changes that we face at this time. I am deeply grateful and feel privileged to have learned from these teachers of East Asian descent. I continue to work and study in an effort to practice this medicine in a way that it was intended.
I honor my teachers: Yongping Jiang, TCMD, Ph.D., Mei Wang, TCMD, Ph.D., Wei Liu, TCMD, Huan Ma TCMD, Ph.D., Tao Gong TCMD, Dr. Richard Teh-Fu Tan, Miriam Lee.”
Andrea is currently seeing patients at the Linden Hills location.

Andrea Cyr at Sunu Wellness in Linden Hills is an excellent acupuncturist. She is so knowledgeable on Eastern medicine and the various ways to release pain in the body. I have been suffering from chronic migraines, back and neck pain for over 20 years and acupuncture is the only tool that has reduced if not illuminated pain for me. The Mayo Clinic pushed me to try acupuncture and I am so glad I found Andrea at Sunu Wellness. True gift!” -Client/ Sarajane L.

Every session with Andrea is a spiritual experience. She knows how to hold space, working her magic and leaving me feeling more supported and balanced at the end of the hour. I was very skeptical and nervous about the experience with needles before meeting her, but quickly became comfortable with it all. Seeing her for acupuncture gave me the hope I needed for healing and over the years have seen major improving results with chronic health issues that I had only imagined. She’s asked me questions I’ve never been asked, or even thought of before, always from a soothing and compassionate space. I learn something new every time. She is someone I look to for guidance and admire very much. I’ve had some of my greatest breakthroughs over the years working with Andrea and I’m forever grateful for her.
Andrea has been far and above what I had expected. Originally went in with some migraine/concussion symptoms and we worked through a bunch of different things I was experiencing, all the way to a knee injury.

Andrea has been far and above what I had expected. Originally went in with some migraine/concussion symptoms and we worked through a bunch of different things I was experiencing, all the way to a knee injury. She always has great recommendations and suggestions, including some amazing herbs! I highly recommend Acupuncture with Andrea -10/10. -Taylor Main
I see Andrea regularly for acupuncture, and she is amazing! She is very knowledgeable, and my health has improved greatly since starting to see her. I would highly recommend, especially for post-concussion treatment. I even brought my mom to see her, whom she is helping as well! - Karen Staggert

Chiropractor Elizabeth Gingrey and acupuncturist Andrea Cyr at Sunu Linden Hills have changed my life in the best of ways. I've had both chiropractic and acupuncture care in the past but Sunu delivers a more successful level of care. I went from having chronic neck, shoulder and back pain to painless gardening, biking, tennis and more. Acupuncture and herbs with Andrea Cyr has alleviated my heart palpitations, post menopausal symptoms (like over heating), insomnia, skin issues, and most recently anxiety (rumination). With Andreas help, I've been able to stop taking medication for these issues, and plan to keep up with my care at Sunu for a healthier, pain free and better quality of life
