Holistic Health Counseling and Education

As acupuncturists and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners, we are uniquely trained in the tradition, art and practice of Holistic Health. Our medical tradition recognizes the interdependence of ourselves and our environment and sustainably utilizes nature's gifts in balance with our unique individual selves to restore and maintain health. The art of acupuncture and TCM, thousands of years old, is a medical theory rooted in Holism that your practitioner has been trained to practice and share with you.

Nutritional Counseling

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has long recognized that food can be a form of medicine. Whether you are living with a chronic disease, watching your health change through the course of your life cycle or dealing with acute health issues, we can teach you how to use food in ways that can enhance your health and quality of life.

Moxibustion

Moxibustion involves the heating of acupuncture points with smoldering mugwort herb (known as moxa). Moxibustion stimulates circulation, counteracts cold and dampness in the body, and promotes the smooth flow of blood and qi. This safe, non-invasive technique may be used alone, but it is generally used in conjunction with acupuncture treatment.

Qigong and Mindfulness Techniques

Qigong means "life energy cultivation" and is traditionally seen as a method to cultivate and balance qi. The practice involves rhythmic movement, focused breathing, and concentrated awareness. Qigong is a safe and gentle meditative exercise that promotes healing of the mind and body. I am a certified Qi Gong teacher.
