Our approach
Acupuncture is rooted in ancient traditional Chinese medicine, which incorporates exercise, bodywork, lifestyle, and diet. Traditional East Asian medicine creates balance in our bodies. This form of medical treatment has been used for thousands of years.
Disharmony occurs when any aspect of ourselves is over- or underutilized. Work, stress, sleep patterns, relationships and other information point to the sources of what is known as a person’s “pattern of disharmony.” Understanding the root of the problem helps us treat symptoms with Acupuncture, bodywork, exercise and breathing techniques, dietary guidelines, and/or herbal therapy.
