“The body’s innate wisdom takes precedence over what any of us think we know. Accessing, listening to and allowing that innate force to work is the priority in this Practice.”
Why Acupuncture?
Through thousands of years of history, the practice of acupuncture has been used to treat illnesses of body and spirit. Originating in China over 5000 years ago, acupuncture was combined with herbal remedies to create a unified school of medicine that would become the cornerstone of an eastern healthcare philosophy as robust and defined as western medicine. Acupuncture promotes health and addresses disease through the restoration of the body’s natural systemic balance, utilizing a system of channels or meridians that touch and communicate with all parts of the body. An acupuncturist gently inserts fine needles into specific points in the body, tapping into these channels; diffusing tension, stagnation and supporting organ function. Acupuncture has enjoyed growing popularity in the west. Its practitioners increasingly discover mutuality with western medical practice in many fields, enabling people of all ages, backgrounds and needs to attain peace and profound health benefits in the harmony between ancient and modern.

A Special Message About COVID-19 and Updates on the Office
COVID-19 represents the unprecedented…
This pathogenic element as well as the unfolding response on the world stage represent many unknowns.
In addition to the heightened safety and hygiene measures already in place in our office, on Tuesday, March 17, 2020, in an effort to protect the health of my practice members and curb the potential spread of illness in the community, I chose to temporarily suspend operations in the clinic, except for those in urgent need.
At the present time we are slowly easing back into opening the office. Extreme care is being taken to maintain a safe, healthy environment for all. If you are ready to come back in please reach out and we can discuss a time. Also feel free to book online! This is a new feature many of you have requested, so here it is.
Telemedicine consults with me are also now available. I can support you with a variety of tools to help resolve physical or emotional challenges you may be facing, as well as optimize immune resilience, until such time as the clinic can safely reopen for everyone. Many insurance companies are providing coverage for this service, and we can check with yours.
Please enjoy the new and evolving Resources Page and blog as well! In it you will find supportive, currently relevant information and practices that I have integrated over many years as a health care provider and truth seeker. For your enrichment I will also include links to the work of others whom I trust and from whom you may gain nourishment.
May you keep your mind on the many blessings still surrounding us as we wade further into uncharted territory. My heart goes out to those around the world suffering as well as those selflessly serving at this time.
