“Human beings are designed with self-preservation in mind. The body has many ways in which it supports continued life.”

Services

  • Acupuncture

    Acupuncture is one of the oldest medical therapeutic interventions and a foundational aspect of the Chinese Medicine system. The insertion of hair-thin needles to stimulate acupuncture points along the body’s energetic channels can provide relief for physical issues such as chronic pain, nausea, headaches, insomnia, and clogged sinuses. It can also be used to aid in deeper and more transformational work around trauma, anxiety, and depression. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends acupuncture for over 100 conditions, and the National Institute of Health (NIH) suggests acupuncture for many pain conditions as it funds more in-depth research into the effectiveness of acupuncture for other common conditions.

    This service includes an evaluation, diagnosis, and acupuncture treatment with or without moxibustion and may include some bodywork techniques such as gua sha, cupping, and tuina. A Chinese Herbal Medicine diagnosis and prescription can be provided at the patient’s request.*

  • Acupuncture-Related Bodywork

    Chinese Medicine bodywork techniques have been used to treat a variety of internal and external conditions. Cupping is commonly used for respiratory issues and digestive disorders; externally it helps move blood, fluid, and qi stagnation that occurs with acute & chronic injuries. Gua sha or skin scraping is also an effective therapy for injuries and respiratory conditions like the common cold; it is useful for moving stagnated fluids like swelling. Tuina uses a pushing & grasping style of soft tissue massage and joint manipulation to stimulate and improve the flow of qi along the body’s energetic channels. Additionally, these techniques can be used as stand-alone therapies to target specific areas of chronic pain, tension, and stress.

    This service is an a la carte combination of the following techniques: gua sha, cupping (fire or silicone style), and/or tuina.

  • Zero Balancing

    Zero Balancing is a mind-body therapy developed in the 1970s by Dr. Fritz Smith, an osteopathic physician/surgeon and licensed acupuncturist. It utilizes a non-invasive touch performed over the clothes to balance the body energetically. By connecting with the bones, joints, and soft tissue using gentle finger pressure and subtle traction, the practitioner creates fulcrums aka balancing points for the body to relax, release, and reorganize around. It can be used as a stand-alone or complementary therapy with Acupuncture to help with chronic tension, pain, stress, and emotional distress.
