Unlocking Healing Potentials with
Acupuncture, Cupping, and Herbology
To treat both the root of disease and its possible manifestations, I combine the ancient healing therapies of Acupuncture, Cupping and Herbology with my knowledge of Alternative and Functional Medicine to facilitate the activation of your own healing, while empowering you to participate in your good health, your balance and well being.
I have my Masters Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and apprenticed with Grand Master Richard Tan, OMD. I have studied Evidence Based Nutrition for several years regarding its role in treating disease.
Sharing my nowledge of Chinese
Medicine along with Rolfing
Movement Integration, massage
therapy, meditation and yoga is my
lifeliong passion and joy.
Treating is highly individualized and
focuses on getting to the root of the
disease to bring the body into
homeostatsis
"Keeping the body
healthy is an expression
of gratitude to
the whole
cosmos - the trees, the
clouds, everything"
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is the gentle insertion of disposable
needles along energy pathways named Meridians.
These Meridians carry a flow of energy that for the
past 4,000 years practitioners of acupuncture have
called Qi. When needles are placed along these
meridians, every organ and physiological system in
the body is vitalized, thus supporting the Immune,
Endocrine, Circulatory, Skeletal, Respiratory, Muscular,
Nervous and Lymphatic systems.
Most people know that Acupuncture is used for the
treatment of pain, but Acupuncture has a proven
track record for treating many functional disorders,
some of which are:
Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Acid Reflux, Gastritis,
Diarrhea and Constipation, Asthma, Bronchitis,
Sinusitis, Pain inclusive of Neck, Low Back, Sciatica,
Hip and Shoulder, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid
Arthritis, Carpel Tunnel, Migraine and Tension
Headaches, Hormone imbalances, Fertility, Anxiety,
Stress, Insomnia, Depression, Fatigue, to name a few.
HERBAL MEDICINE
Chinese Herbs have been used in healing for thousands of
years and actually comprises the majority of Traditional
Chinese Medicine. A natural herbal formula is chosen for each
individual according to their specific condition and are
designed to correct imbalanced properties within the body.
The combination of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs provides
the most dramatic results, however Herbal Medicine may be
used as a stand alone treatment. Offering treatment for the
root cause of disease as well as symptomatic cures, they are
unlike allopathic drugs that help to suppress symptoms and
may have side effects.
An Herbal Consultation consists of pulse taking, observance of
the tongue, and a survey of symptoms. Only herbs of proven,
premium quality are used.
CUPPING
The oldest and most globally practiced medicine, cupping is
an ancient technique that has found its place in a modern
world, as the results it produces are impressive. By creating
suction and negative pressure, cupping releases rigid soft
tissue, drains excess fluids and toxins, loosens adhesions and
lifts connective tissue, bringing blood flow to stagnant skin
and muscles
Because of these actions, cupping has the therapeutic
benefit of alleviating rigid and aching muscles, releasing joint
stiffness, softening scar tissue, easing asthmatic symptoms
and bronchitis, and stimulating the digestive function.
Massage cupping has become popular in treating cellulites,
and facial rejuvenation.
DETOXIFICATION
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, cleansing is generally done in
the Spring and Fall because these seasons provide the best
opportunity for deeply detoxifying and cleansing the body of
impurities our organs and tissues have collected over the past
months.
Cleansing gives us the opportunity to rest our digestive
system from sugar, red meat, fats, flour, oils, concentrated
proteins and fast foods. We instead provide ourselves with
nutrients that vitalize us, improving our immune, hormone
and digestive functions and help us to eliminate chemical
toxins and heavy metals.
There are several cleanses to choose from and we pick one
that best supports your needs and timing to do a cleanse. It
can be as short as three days and as long as twenty one and
are individually designed according to your health condition
and constitution.
THE WAY YOU FEEL AFTERWARDS, IS EMPOWERED,
ENERGETIC AND MOTIVATED TO EAT A BALANCED DIET.
NUTRITION
There are many trends in diet and nutrition and many
more will be popular in the future. I believe that what we
eat, and the supplements we take, should be individually
customized to give us optimal health, be satisfying to us,
and enable us with the help of exercise and lifestyle, to
keep our weight where we enjoy it.
For all of us I believe the following:
Eating the foods that are in season will help us to avoid
food intolerances and allergies and will vary the nutrients
found in different foods.
It is highly beneficial to have a diet that is more alkaline
than acidic.
When we have a yin/yang imbalance as is seen in
Chinese Medicine, we can correct it by knowing what
foods to eat and what herbs to take.
Knowing what supplements to take can be partially
determined by Functional Blood Chemistry
A Nutritional Consultation includes, a review of your
current health, diet, blood work, pulse and tongue
analysis, supplement review, and goals you wish to
achieve.
