Acupuncture is performed by inserting very thin, disposable, sterilized, stainless-steel filaments (as fine as human hair) into specific points located near or on the surface of the skin. This is believed to help stimulate the flow of Qi, which is the vital energy that helps balance the body's systems. 

Cupping – Cupping therapy involves the application of glass cups into the surface of the body using suction. It is a specialized therapy to aid the body in removing metabolic toxins from surface tissue and muscles. It improves circulation, releases muscle tension, and increases healing properties by bringing vital energy “Qi” and blood to the area.

Gua Sha –aids the body in removing metabolic toxins from surface tissue and muscles. Gua Sha is commonly used whenever a patient has musculoskeletal pain. There may be aching, tenderness, or a knotty feeling in the muscles in which a tool is used to apply pressure in the area and break up the knots.  In addition, Gua Sha is used to treat as well as prevent common cold, flu, bronchitis, asthma, as well as any chronic disorder involving pain, and congestion of fluids of the body. 

Therapeutic Movement can involve the physical act of moving through exercise, yoga, rehabilitative stretching, Forest Bathing and Qi- gong as well as the movement of your internal environment.

Nutrition: Nutrition is one of the eight strands of Traditional Chinese medicine that I use to accompany herbal medicine, acupuncture, and bodywork. The knowledge and understanding of how food can affect your overall health, wellness, and energetics of the body are imperative for healing to occur and for your body to be in balance.  

Chinese Nutritional Therapy differs from traditional nutritional therapy which often focuses on calorie intake, food pyramids and specific diets. Instead, the focus is placed on foods that have a specific therapeutic action.
