Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient practice focused on harmonizing the balance between yin and yang energies. The symbiotic relationship between these opposing forces forms the core of this holistic approach. Life itself is sustained by a vital energy known as 'qi,' which flows seamlessly and expansively in all directions. Inner and outer harmony of this energy leads to an overall sense of well-being and peace.

However, disruptions in the balance of yin and yang energies—blockages, stagnation, or dominance of one over the other—can pave the way for ailments and diseases. Each individual experiences these health concerns uniquely, influenced by the constitution of their body and mind.

The TCM modalities that I use are acupuncture, traditional Chinese herbs, and cupping.

My approach

1

Assess your overall constitution.

I will take an in-depth look at your diet/digestion, sleep, energy, stress, and physical movement.

2

Target organ systems that are overworked or under nourished.

I will create an individulized treatment protocol based on your symptom profile.

3

Promote balance and harmony between yang/yin qi and vital organs.

Round out your visits with additional your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health recommendations.
