Health Professionals near Amherst, MA

After 36 years of practicing, I still love witnessing how much my patients are helped by Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine! In a safe and collaborative setting I address a wide range of physical and emotional issues that patients bring to my office. It is one of the beauties of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine that it treats the whole person. I consider myself a family practice acupuncturist, in that I welcome patients of all ages. I treat acute, chronic & stress related health conditions and women's health issues.

Do you ever eat beyond the point of fullness or feel guilty for what you ate? Do you find yourself eating for reasons other than hunger? Have you tried a diet (or a lifetime of diets) and "failed," only to put the weight back on...and then some? Are you frustrated by your relationship to food and your body? Do you know what to do but have a hard time following through? If you answered YES to any of these questions, you are not alone and you are in the right place!

As a naturopathic doctor, my medical training as a primary care physician had an emphasis on preventive & restorative therapies as well as nutrition.

Our Fascial system is a main source of pain & dysfunction & yet little is known about it in the medical community. Imaging will not disclose areas of dysfunction due to the fluid nature of fascia, leading all to often to the diagnosis of “ there is nothing wrong; inconclusive results” You are not crazy & your pain is real. The John F Barnes Myofascial Release system ( JFBMFR) works with the balance & texture of the body. Understanding where the pain is & then balancing the incongruities that cause the twists within the system. It is a weblike pattern that can cause pain in different areas than where the injury is or thought to be.

The Healing Touch System is a synthesis of many of the best Eastern and Western psychophysical therapies that fully incorporate the mind-body-spirit connection.

Sometimes life is very challenging and overwhelming. There are ups and downs but the downs are magnified in our own mind. So how do we cope? How do we change our habits? Over eating when we are stressed. Up all night when we are worried about life so we put ourselves second. Our primary foods are not the food we eat. That’s secondary. Our primary foods are what makes and breaks us. They are healthy relationships, spirituality, physical activity, and a fulfilling career. This is what fills us up. A healthy body inside and out.

You may be feeling confused and frustrated with your health issues. You have issues that no one can seem to explain. Maybe you have a diagnosis, maybe you don't, but you don't feel well and are tired of not being taken seriously. You know that it's possible to feel better, but haven't gotten the results you desire with the things you've tried so far. You want a better solution than being on meds indefinitely. You are sensitive to medications, supplements, and other "natural" healing methods. You want something that's gentle, safe, and cuts to the heart of the matter, something that won't make you sicker in the process of "healing."
