Your Journey to Better Health
Welcome! I’m here to support you on your journey to better health. I love to connect with my patients, making them feel seen and heard. Health care is personal, and I value my relationship with my patients. As your practitioner, I offer my knowledge, energy and intention to help facilitate your healing through the treatment modalities best suited for your needs.
I believe that vitality and health are within reach. Our bodies have the capacity to heal, as long as we have the tools, support and environment to facilitate the healing process. States of health come and go, as we move through life cycles, the seasons change and we experience emotional and physical hardship.
We are whole beings, who require a holistic approach to health. Our diet, lifestyle, and mental health have a significant impact on our wellbeing. Our bodies function optimally when there is free flow within, circulating nourishment to our cells and eliminating toxins and waste. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, bodywork and proper diet can insure this free flow within, removing obstacles and allowing our bodies to operate effortlessly. Having a Chinese Medicine practitioner on your health care team will elevate your health, allowing for greater ease while moving through life.
Restoring Balance & Flow
Chinese medicine is a vast and expansive field of study. It is a sophisticated medical system that would take lifetimes to understand completely. There are infinite branches and lineages, with influence from Japan, Korea and India and wide adoption in European countries. More inclusively called East Asain medicine, the system incorporates the use of acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine, nutrition, gua sha, cupping, and various forms of bodywork and cultivation practices like Qi Gong and Tai Chi.
In this medical system, humans are recognized as whole beings that are impacted by the environment, the emotional state and what is consumed. Treatment within Chinese medicine aims to restore and maintain physical health as well as prevent disease. Human beings are connected to the universe and influenced by the external environment. The earth experiences changes in weather as result of greater celestial movements, and human physiology is affected accordingly. In health, responses to the climate are without ill effects. When imbalances occur within our physiology, pathological responses can occur, seen as physical and mental symptoms. Through the use of acupuncture, herbs and other modalities, balance and flow can be restored, allowing the body to respond appropriately to a changing environment and eliminate dis-ease.
