What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient healing art which originated over 3,000 years ago and is the oldest continually practiced health system in the world. It is a holistic medicine that uses stimulation of key points on the body to create balance in the whole of the person.
What Does Acupuncture Do?
Acupuncture can be used in many ways. Relaxation, stress-management, and physical concerns are some of the most common. Because it puts the whole person's qi into energetic balance, acupuncture can be used for a wide variety of reasons. With regular treatment, you can feel the difference on many levels. It can remind you on a visceral level that you are the only one with the power to create your life. Just imagine a giant 'reset' button being pressed. Can Acupuncture Help Me?
Absolutely. Whether you have a specific physical concern or if you are already in good health, this can be for you. And when you do it regularly, it is most likely you will:
- Feel more in control of your life
- Stay well when others get sick
- Increase your vitality and stamina
- Improve your overall outlook
- Recover more soundly from injury,
surgery, and illness - Be at peace with more of life

How Does it Work?
Qi (pronounced ‘chee’) flows like a long string throughout the body, and it vibrates, as energy, to keep you in tune. When there is a knot or slackness in this string and qi cannot flow freely, illness results. By influencing the qi at these points, you restore your natural state of health. Can Acupuncture Fix My Back?
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to enhance the power of natural healing. If the cause is a simple qi blockage, the pain can go away quickly and permanently. With regular treatments, most ailments dissipate over time as you come into a state of balanced qi and healthy lifestyle. Everyone is different, so the best way to find out is to contact me for a consultation.
What’s Special in My Treatment Space?
I listen to you without judgment. In this space, you receive the unique care and time you need. I use acupuncture, moxibustion, herbs, supplements, and/or Zero Balancing to support you in your path and to be well. Zero Balancing is a powerful and effective way to balance qi without needles.
The initial consultation takes about 90 minutes. You tell me about your health history and lifestyle. There is a very basic physical exam and you receive a treatment.
Regular visits are 45 - 60 minutes. Treatments are usually once a week for the first 6-8 weeks. You will know by then how this is benefiting you. As your health improves, treatments are further apart.
Your treatment is always customized to your needs.
