Acupuncture improves the body’s functions and promotes the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific anatomic sites--commonly referred to as acupuncture points, or acupoints. The most common method used to stimulate acupoints is the insertion of fine, sterile needles into the skin. Pressure, heat, or electrical stimulation may further enhance the effects. Other acupoint stimulation techniques include: manual massage, moxibustion or heat therapy, cupping, and the application of topical herbal medicines and linaments.

As an acupuncturist and herbalist, I completed four years of medical training and graduated with a Masters degree. Acupuncture and herbs are natural therapies; they don't have side effects and don't interfere with the traditional medical treatments. If you are seeing a medical doctor for acute or chronic problems and seeking alternatives, acupuncture and herbs sure to help.

Good health is not just the absence of symptoms. It includes smooth and strong functioning in all aspects of life. I especially enjoy working with clients who understand that lifestyle can have a major impact on health. Together, we indentify where there is balance, and where it is lacking, and work together to develop new habits that support ongoing health and wellbeing. Though I do treat people in acute pain or illness, I'm especially well suited to treating individuals with chronic illness and those looking to increase the overall harmony of their lives.
