What To Expect

Treatments tailored to you

We take the necessary time to get to know you on a much deeper level than a typical healthcare practitioner.

The Initial Acupuncture appointment is 90 minutes. We will spend time thoroughly going over your health history, current experience with symptoms, lifestyle habits, and many other aspects of your life. This is followed by a short physical exam and the initial acupuncture treatment, which consists of Acupuncture as well as Zero Balancing and possibly moxa (the burning of a medicinal herb on acupuncture points) as time allows.

Follow up appointments are 45 minutes - 1 hour. We begin each session with a brief intake to get a sense of where you need support on that day, followed by a treatment that is tailored to what you need in the moment.

During these sessions, we are there and present with you the whole time. This is different from many people's prior experience where needles are set and the practitioner leaves the room for 15-30 minutes. This one-on-one approach allows me to develop the treatment in an unfolding way, moment by moment - tailored for you.

We Welcome and Value All People

​We believe in creating a space that is inclusive and welcoming to everyone, regardless of gender identity, race, relationship styles

We are dedicated to providing holistic care that embraces diversity and fosters a sense of belonging and well-being for all of our clients.  In our practice, this work is inherently tied to liberation work - helping to liberate individual people from pain, tension, and stagnation patterns that don't serve us anymore, and helping to foster that same sense of liberation throughout society more broadly. 
Come join us, and experience the healing power of acupuncture in a supportive and accepting environment.

Everyone deserves access to holistic health services

Let's spread wellness far and wide

We are in process of setting up a Community Fund aimed at two fantastic initiatives: providing scholarships for individuals to join our Zero Balancing Classes, and a fund to make group acupuncture sessions more accessible to those in need. 

If you are able and interested in supporting our Community Fund, get in touch to learn more about how you can contribute.​Your contribution, big or small, can make a real difference in someone's life by opening doors to wellness opportunities they might not have otherwise.
If a person is ill, we cannot just treat the body and expect results.  We must treat the body, the mind, and the spirit as a whole, and when we do this, people can reach a full and deep sense of health and wellbeing. ​

Why I Practice Classical Five-Element Acupuncture

Treat the Cause, Not the Symptom

As J. R. Worsley - one of the first to bring acupuncture to the Western world - said, "If your check engine light comes on in your car, putting a Band-Aid over the light will not fix the problem."
​

Most people would agree. This is why I practice Classical Five-Element Acupuncture - it goes to the root, helping to identify and treat the cause of the symptoms.

This is a unique, amazing, and subtle process - one in which many symptoms other than a person's main complaint can be healed.

Zero Balancing:
Holistic Touch Therapy

Access Deeper Levels of Relaxation

Zero Balancing (also called ZB) is a powerful mind-body therapy that uses light pressure on the bones and joints to help re-balance the structures and energies of our body. 
​
Zero Balancing can be a stand-alone treatment or a part of acupuncture sessions. It is a great option if you are afraid of, or less interested in, needles.

Past Zero Balancing clients of mine have come in with debilitating pain - sciatica that felt like fire running down their leg, inability to lift their arm due to their upper back hurting so badly, or in difficult mental or emotional states. 

​With this gentle treatment, we can help to relax, alleviate, and often eliminate pain while helping the whole body, mind, and spirit to feel better and more balanced.

While no previous skills or education are required to join (just a will and openness to learn a new skill!), we also invite practitioners to join as these classes can provide CEU's to massage therapists, acupuncturists, OTs, and other professional licensures.
