I've been studying and practicing Chinese medicine for 35 years and I am still excited every day by our treatment results and the deep understanding of life that this teaches me. Patients with all types of disharmonies are welcome to our office, from musculoskeletal pain to chronic illnesses, from infections to gynecological imbalances, from respiratory to digestive diseases, and the effects of stress and trauma, but I always root treatment in the ancient Chinese understanding and practices of Three Treasures medicine.
So it is always truly mind/body healing, which lasts and serves growth/evolution/lasting change. I am especially interested in TCM's ability to relieve trauma in the body and mind, and I am adding to my knowledge by training to become a Somatic Experiencing practitioner, so stay tuned if you are interested in that. Qi gong has changed and healed me profoundly and I teach a form that I've practiced for thirty years.
My other passion is teaching about TCM and Daoist philosophy of mind and its application to emotional well-being.

Our ideal is a relaxed readiness for life.
Acupuncture helps us achieve this by freeing the flow of energy and nourishment to our bodies, and easing our transitions through life's rhythms.
As part of the ingenious natural world, our bodies know how to balance and restore themselves after injuries and insults.
Acupuncture reminds the body to do this by causing tiny stimulations that wake up the body's innate intelligence for self-healing.
It creates cascades of positive changes in the blood chemistry and nervous system to promote homeostasis, the fine balance of physiological processes that keeps us alive.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
In most cases, we are able to administer the treatment by shifting your clothing away from the sites where the needles will go.
If removing clothing is necessary, we will do everything possible to make you feel comfortable, including the use of exam gowns or some other form of drapery.
We recommend a small, healthy snack before treatment.
Since acupuncture can lower blood sugar, skipping meals or fasting before treatment may cause you to feel dizzy or light-headed.

The Nei Jing, the 2,000 year old classic of Chinese medicine says, The saints did not wait for illnesses to appear, but took care of them before they appeared.
To wait for the illness to develop before remedying it is to wait until one is thirsty before digging the well.
Is this not too late?
We take care of illness before it appears through our daily habits, like eating.
Chinese medical nutrition is a beautiful system of cooperation with our personal constitutional needs, the seasons, and our environment.
