Healthcare should feel personal. You should feel heard, your concerns should matter, and your care should be built around your goals — not a protocol.
Every person who walks through our doors has a different story. You may be dealing with persistent pain that has gradually changed the way you move through life.
You may be experiencing stress that is affecting your sleep, energy and overall well-being. You may be recovering from an injury — or simply looking for a more proactive approach.
Whatever brings you here, your care should begin with understanding. We listen to your concerns, learn your goals and explore what may be affecting your well-being.
You are more than a symptom.
You are more than a diagnosis.
You are a whole person — with a unique body, lifestyle, history and set of goals.
Before acupuncture, Riz Lakhani worked in the private sector with some of the nation’s largest wireless telecommunications companies — an experience that taught him the power of finding new ways to solve complex problems.
He wanted to work directly with people and improve lives in a way that felt tangible and meaningful — so he followed that calling into acupuncture and integrative medicine.
That journey became CALM Healing — a practice still shaped by the same two ideas it began with.
We believe these two things belong together.
Healing does not have to be limited to one approach. We combine acupuncture with therapeutic bodywork and advanced technologies.
A personalized treatment approach designed to support the body’s natural balance and promote overall well-being.
A targeted technique used to address muscle tension, trigger points and movement-related discomfort.
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy designed to support recovery, circulation and physical wellness.
Advanced light-based technology used to support the body’s natural cellular and recovery processes.
A non-invasive therapeutic technology designed to support musculoskeletal wellness and recovery.
A skin-focused treatment designed to support natural renewal and improve the appearance of texture and other concerns.
Hands-on care designed to support relaxation, reduce muscle tension and promote physical well-being.
We do not use treatments simply because they are popular or new. We listen first, understand the individual, then explore the approaches that may best support their goals.

The demands of work, family, activity, aging and everyday responsibilities all influence your well-being. That is why we take a whole-person approach — wellness involves more than a single area of your life.
Our goal is not simply to help you get through one difficult day. We want to support your ability to recover, adapt and continue living the life you enjoy.
There is no single formula for every person. Two people can experience similar symptoms for completely different reasons and have completely different goals — so we take the time to understand your individual situation before creating a path forward.
Life places demands on every body — stress, injuries, aging, work, family and physical activity all leave their mark. We help people support their ability to recover, adapt and continue doing the things they love.
Being heard matters. Your concerns, experiences and goals are important parts of your care — meaningful treatment begins with a conversation.
You deserve to understand your options. We explain recommendations clearly, answer questions and help you decide with confidence.
We respect the wisdom of traditional healing while embracing modern therapeutic technology. Used thoughtfully, they complement one another.
Different backgrounds, different expertise — one approach. We listen. We care. We create space for your individual needs.
Riz founded CALM Healing with a mission to help people heal from the wear and tear of life and build greater resilience — a journey that began with a desire to find work that made a direct, meaningful difference in people’s lives.
After completing his undergraduate education at the University of Maryland, he worked in telecommunications with some of the nation’s largest wireless companies, gaining a strong appreciation for innovation and emerging technology. His interest in helping people eventually led him toward acupuncture and integrative medicine.
Riz earned his Master of Acupuncture from the Maryland University of Integrative Health and has been licensed in Maryland since 2013, continuing his training in areas including sports medicine acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. A lifelong Maryland resident, he is proud to serve Marriottsville, Howard County and the surrounding areas.

Throughout her career she has developed a deep understanding of how therapeutic bodywork supports relaxation, physical recovery and overall well-being. She understands that no two bodies are the same — which is why her approach adapts to the individual in front of her.
Whether someone wants to reduce muscle tension, support recovery, encourage relaxation or simply create space for their body to reset, Liz provides care that feels personal and responsive. Outside the treatment room, she enjoys time with family and friends and being outdoors.
Expertise matters. Experience matters. Technology matters. But none of those should replace genuine human connection. We want every person who visits CALM Healing to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing concerns and being an active part of their own wellness journey.
Your health journey should not begin with a predetermined treatment plan. It should begin with you — your concerns, your goals, your lifestyle, your story.
Technology can be a valuable tool, but technology alone is not care. Ours sits inside a broader approach centered on conversation, trust and individualized treatment.
Every wellness journey is different. There is no universal solution and no single path that works for everyone. But there is value in taking the time to understand your story and finding an approach that makes sense for you.
Whether you are searching for acupuncture in Marriottsville, dry needling near Ellicott City, integrative wellness in Howard County or a personalized approach to pain and recovery, our team is here to help you explore your options.
You simply need a place to start. We begin by learning about you — what you are experiencing, what your goals are and what your journey has looked like so far. Then, together, we explore the options that may best support your path forward.
