Acupuncture is an ancient healing that benefits modern day ailments. Thin, sterile, single use needles are inserted into the body to stimulate specific points along specific meridians based on your symptoms. The needles help by balancing your body's Qi (energy) by dispersing areas of stagnated energy (a tight painful muscle) or bringing energy to a deficient area of the body (sluggish digestion).

I treat patients using several styles of Acupuncture; Traditional Chinese Medicine, Trigger Point Release Acupuncture and Kiiko Matsumoto Style. I use a combination of these styles to tailor each treatment to your specific needs. This knowledge gives me an endless palette from which to work, and the ability to modify treatments as needed. I also incorporate other Chinese Medicine modalities such as cupping, gua sha, E-stim, Tui Na massage and moxibustion. 

I am also a certified Yoga Teacher (OM Yoga) and Reiki Practitioner. When appropriate I weave in this knowledge, along with meditation and essential oils in order to support you. We will discuss your diet, lifestyle and movement/exercise to find how best you can be supported between treatments. I understand that each person has their own story and very different needs. I look forward to working with you.
