Health Professionals in Hampshire County, MA

I am a Registered Dietitian (RD) specializing in pediatric and family nutrition. I help children and families with weight concerns (over or underweight), picky eating and food aversions, food allergies, gastrointestinal disorders, and more!

At Whole Body Healing we specialize in pain and stress management. We use acupuncture, massage and Chinese herbal formulas to effectively treat many conditions, such as neck/back pain, frequent headaches, anxiety and OBGYN related issues.

I offer a holistic and integrated approach to treating people. I familiarize myself with my patients’ goals for health and I adapt my treatment methods to achieve results. My style is grounded in the belief that our bodies have an innate wisdom to heal. I hold space for patients to heal so they can feel more joy and openness in their bodies. I listen with my ears and my hands to shift patterns. Sessions promote health, build resilience, and create lasting change.

I help people to reduce pain and suffering (physical and emotional) and improve the quality of their health and their lives, using acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. I treat the whole person, helping them to come into balance. I work together with clients to help them meet their health goals. Often this includes dietary and lifestyle counseling, in addition to the acupuncture and herbs. I develop relationships of trust, caring and respect with my clients.

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."

I can help alleviate many issues, as well as balancing the mind, body and in Chinese Medicine what we call Shen. The biggest factor is by treating with acupuncture I can restore the quality of life for the patient. Being pain free is something we underestimate until we do live with Pain.

Rise Communication Clinic is a Speech-Language Pathology clinic providing quality assessment and group treatment services to adults of Western Massachusetts. Research has shown that the communication breakdown associated with language impairments may interfere with social participation and with daily activities (work and leisure). Group treatment of communication disorders has proven effective with clients in conjunction with therapy, as they transition out of therapy, and as long as the patient/caregiver feels that aphasia, Parkinson’s, or TBI is a part of their life. At Rise, our clients feel seen and known.

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.
