About
As a practitioner of acupuncture and Chinese medicine I use subtle information from the body to promote healing. I enjoy using visceral manipulation, cranial sacral, ashiatsu massage, cupping, and moxibustion to address musculoskeletal pain, psychoemotional issues such as insomnia and addiction, and improving digestion. I provide the body with subtle information so that the body's own life force can be strengthened. I chose the name Joy Point Acupuncture, because good medicine should put people at ease and on a path towards well being. Every breath, every movement and every point should bring us closer to our joy and bliss.
I was brought into the world of acupuncture through observation of how acupuncture can help with addiction, PTSD and other traumatic events through stimulation of ear acupuncture points. These points can be extremely beneficial to improving neurotransmitters in the brain. I utilize very effective pain relief protocols to eliminate pain.
I utilize osteopathic palpation to find information about the body and where blockage is. I utilize physical medicine to assess the body's structure, which provides allows the energy to flow the best. Function follows good structure, and resolving blockages can be helpful for eliminating pain.
