Healing Arts Center

What Healing Arts Center does

Healing Arts Center (legal entity Healing Arts Center LLC) is a Philadelphia-based, founder-owned integrative medicine practice founded in 2001 by Steven Mavros, L.OM. The company delivers evidence-based acupuncture combined with Chinese herbal medicine, telehealth fertility navigation, massage, yoga, and tai chi to patients across the greater Philadelphia region. Its clinical core is women's health, fertility, and chronic pain, with secondary specializations in oncology support, pediatrics, LGBTQ+ care, GI disorders, sports medicine, pregnancy/postpartum, and mental health. The practice operates from six brick-and-mortar locations (Old City, Rittenhouse, Bryn Mawr, Exton, Conshohocken, plus on-site at fertility clinics) and serves individual consumers on a fee-for-service basis with insurance billing through Independence Blue Cross, BCBS, FEP, Aetna, and United Healthcare.

The company's central technical asset is a proprietary single-treatment IVF embryo-transfer protocol developed over fifteen-plus years and refined through more than 3,500 IVF cycles, with reported 8-12% higher live birth rates compared to SART data for local clinics. Practitioners integrate multiple acupuncture traditions (regular acupoint needling, electrical stimulation, trigger point/dry needling, moxibustion, cupping, gua sha). Distribution is anchored by embedded on-site acupuncture services at nine major fertility clinics across the Delaware Valley (Penn Fertility, Main Line Fertility, RMA Philadelphia, Shady Grove, Society Hill Reproductive, Abington, South Jersey IVF, Delaware Valley IVF, Reproductive Associates of Delaware), available 365 days/year during embryo transfers. Eleven licensed practitioners with differentiated specializations staff the practice, supported by co-located chiropractors, massage therapists, tai chi instructors, and PM&R physicians.

Healing Arts Center is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, and no parent company. Revenue derives from per-visit acupuncture fees, herbal and supplement sales, class tuition (e.g., 4-week fertility yoga series at $100), insurance reimbursements, and on-site fertility clinic service contracts. Growth has been organic and geographically consolidating: two new offices opened between 2017 and 2021, telehealth fertility navigation launched in 2026, and United Healthcare in-network status was added in March 2026. The practice has been recognized in Philadelphia Magazine (Best of Philly 2017, Philly Favorites Love Winner 2019, Top Doctors 2021, Philly Favorites 2026) and Philadelphia Family (Best of 2019), and founder Steven Mavros hosts the "Waiting for Babies" podcast covering infertility stories.
