I would love for clients to seek Acupuncture/Massage as a 1st response. So many see me as a last resort . When I should be the 1st they call. It makes me sad to think clients have surgery or use drugs to fix an issue I could have helped them with.

I promote healing from within. It's important to look for the underlying cause of your condition because addressing those issues will allow for a more permanent cure instead of the temporary suppression found with medications alone. Our bodies' have an innate healing power that's released given the right internal and external environment. Finding a diet and lifestyle specific to your individual needs is essential for engaging this healing potential. Sometimes, though, we must dive even deeper into your body's biochemistry to find answers.

This client is talkative, friendly, and eager to learn. They have diagnosed IBS and sought support to work through a low FODMAP plan with a dietitian. Symptoms are limiting daily activities and enjoyment of life, so relief would help them feel like themselves again. I enjoy gut health work because it’s a complex puzzle we solve together to create a new, lower-symptom baseline. They’re typically 20–40 years old and open to exploring a variety of tools.

Acupuncture has essentially no negative side effects as it utilizes the body's own infinitely intelligent healing mechanism to produce healing. It does this by allowing the body to regulate it's own life force energy(QI)
flow throughout energy pathways. What we feel as pain is blockage in the flow of energy and the blood that it circulates. At Wholistic Acupuncture Clinic, my goal is to promote the circulation of(QI)and blood throughout the whole body, thereby strenghening the immune system and allowing the body to heal and prevent further illness and pain.
