Chinese medicine is effective because it targets the root cause of dis-ease to restore optimal health. It takes a holistic approach, which accounts for the interconnectivity of the body, emotions, mind and spirit. The diagnostic methods are precise and comprehensive, and the treatments are natural and individually customized. For example – did you know that symptoms such as “low back pain” and “infertility” can be caused by more that 12 different underlying patterns, each of which requires a different treatment? Because no two people have the exact same set of factors contributing to their presenting symptoms, when your unique underlying cause is uncovered, treatment is highly personalized and effective.

Starting in my adolescent years, I began experiencing physical and emotional symptoms that my doctors had no explanation for. They attempted treating with medications that only worsened how I was feeling, and left me even more confused. When I learned about holistic medicine and the mind-body connection in college, I took matters into my own hands. My healing journey took  me on a deep dive into psychology, yoga, energy healing, Chinese medicine and functional medicine. I identified and was able to address the root cause of my symptoms and heal from the inside out. I also discovered that what I was doing was actually preventing illness and supporting me to thrive in all areas of my life. It ignited a passion and I knew I had to share this with others. Every day I am grateful to be of service doing what I love. 

People of all ages and backgrounds seek out Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine to prevent disease, heal trauma and support their mental and emotional wellbeing, support their spiritual journeys, and heal a wide variety of physical issues. Many people find this form of medicine because other forms of medicine have failed them. Some patients are highly sensitive and require a medicine that harmonizes with their bodies. Many others seek out this holistic approach because of their recognition of the interconnectedness of their being and a desire to heal at the root level. 

Some people do not want to do acupuncture, for various reasons. Acupressure is a non-invasive alternative. Other modalities in Chinese Medicine are highly effective and can instead be utilized during a session.

Absolutely! Combining therapies in a session is pretty standard practice, as multiple therapies are often needed to get the full benefit of treatment. True healing happens when there is integration among the physical, spiritual, mental and emotional planes – this is where integrative or holistic medicine excels to deliver powerful, lasting results.

While results are typically seen right away, it may take any number of sessions to reach your ultimate wellness goals. Your first session will paint a picture and help ascertain approximately how many sessions you may require. Many people start as patients – meaning they have a specific issue or concern that they want resolved – and end up becoming clients, which means reaching a place of thriving and coming in for tune-up sessions as needed for prevention and maintenance of vitality.
