Welcome to My Practice
Come see what I can do to help you achieve your health goals.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is the oldest professional, continuously practiced medicine in the world. It can be traced back more than 3000 years. It is the second largest medical system in the world and is currently used by one third of the world’s population.
The common diseases of 3000 years ago are quite different from those that are common now, but this is the beauty of the TCM system. It is a holistic medicine that considers the “whole” person – body, mind, diet, environment, emotions, lifestyle, and exercise.
After a consult to determine your particular health needs, treatment options are chosen based on both your condition and your preference.
Services
Distant TCM Consultation
If you are unable to come into the clinic, you can book in a consultation by phone or video. I’m able to do a full review of your health, the same way as I would in person, but just using today’s technology from the ease and comfort of your own home.
TCM Consultation
If you’ve ever been told that you’re fine, but you don’t feel “fine”… If you’ve thought there might be more to health than taking medications… If you want to do more than mask your symptoms… Then a TCM consultation might be a good fit for you.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is most commonly used to treat and relieve pain, but its function is really to support the body’s healing systems, so it can be used for a wide variety of ailments, as well as for maintenance of wellness. Oh, and no, it’s not painful.
Biopuncture--Not currently available
Also known as Acupuncture Injection Therapy (AIT), biopuncture is the injection of sterile biologic products into specific locations of the body, including acupuncture points. Injectable remedies are used to relieve pain, stimulate an immune response, balance hormones, speed healing, and restore energy and vitality.
Herbal Formulas
TCM rarely uses only a single herb, as it is important that the herbal prescription be balanced in nature—neither too hot, nor too cold; too moving, nor too nourishing. I create formulas based on your TCM diagnosis.
Nutrition and TCM Food Cures
I use a customized approach to nutrition, similar in idea to how I formulate herbal prescriptions. Foods can have anti-inflammatory, immune balancig, metabolism boosting, cardiovascular enhancing, digestion supporting, and more healing benefits. Why not also find ways to make it tasty and enjoyable?
Supplements
Supplements may include vitamins, minerals, and other nutraceuticals (natural remedies). Selecting the right supplements, brands, and dosing can be daunting. My goal is to simplify the selection of supplements you’re taking and help create a therapeutic maintenance plan.
