Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine are part of a medical system that is over 5,000 years old and is based on the understanding that the body has the capacity to heal itself. Through my Chinese medical practice, I help my patients discover their own healing potential and to find practical ways to achieve their health goals within their own unique life experiences.
In my practice, I use acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, nutritional therapy, Qi Gong (movement therapy), and Tui Na, (Chinese therapeutic massage). I utilize a wide variety of techniques to best fit each of my patients, including the use of very gentle, and non-insertion acupuncture techniques for the needle-shy. My goal is to provide effective and affordable medicine for my patients.
