What I Treat…
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is a highly systematized form of holistic healing that has evolved over thousands of years. It can be both therapeutic and preventative and, in general, be great for overall wellbeing. I try to make every treatment tailored to each patient and their presentation. I use a variety of different modalities in addition to needles to try and help my patients achieve their health goals.
Please understand that acupuncture and its accompanying modalities are not a replacement for medical care. Any serious health concerns should be evaluated by your primary care physician. If you are experiencing a medical emergency please call 911 or visit your nearest emergency room.
The following are examples of conditions I can and have treated my patients for.
Mental, Emotional, Spiritual Wellbeing
Depression, anxiety, stress, substance use & recovery, insomnia, physical symptoms due to dysregulation.
Women’s Health
Regulating menstruation, fertility support, pregnancy support, PMS, PMDD/PME, PCOS, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, hormone regulation post-birth control
Facial Rejuvenation
A variety of modalities are used to address internal imbalances, which may help soften some wrinkles, even out complexion, encourage lymphatic drainage and smooth circulation, among other things, thereby creating an overall radiant appearance.
Pain and Inflammation
Acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain, pain related to autoimmune disorders (such as Ehlers-Danlos), headaches/ migraines, neck pain, pain due to acute traumas, pain secondary to another disease or syndrome

Immune Support
Addressing symptoms associated with some autoimmune disorders, easing symptoms associated with chemotherapy or other cancer therapies, allergies, adrenal or thyroid fatigue
Prepare for Treatment…
Please eat a good, nourishing meal and be well-hydrated at least 2 hours before your appointment. Subtle bodywork takes energy!
Please wear or be able to change into loose, breathable, comfortable clothing (shorts, loose pants, bikini tops or sports bras for femmes) to allow access to acupuncture meridians and points.
Diagnostic methods include observing your tongue. Please do not brush your tongue on the day of your appointment. Or, if that feels gross, please take a picture of your tongue before brushing or eating breakfast.
If you were referred by another professional, please bring any medical records, charts, labs, etc. that are relevant to your care.
