My practice is rooted in a deep belief that compassion, hands-on care, and deep attentive listening are paramount to the healing process. I firmly believe in being a partner with my patients through their journey in achieving health and wellness, and that should be the foundation of all medicine.
Classical Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) —which flows through pathways (meridians) in your body. Inserting needles into specific points along these meridians encourages harmonization of the body, mind, and spirit,
It’s not all about the needles! A complete acupuncture treatment may include a combination of several complementary modalities to achieve the result of rebalancing of the system. Your ailments and issues may benefit from several additional treatments, such as a customized prescription of Herbs (Kampo Medicine), Moxa, cupping and more.
KAMPO HERBAL MEDICINE
Kampo is a unique treatment method where the overall condition of the patient and their constitution are deeply considered in order to address the entire body and mind.
MOXIBUSTION
Moxibustion, sometimes called Moxa(mugwort herb) is placed on certain areas of the body on top of a protective ointment and burned.
