about us

Welcome
We provide Acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine formulas, and Chinese body work. We seek to provide safe, effective, comprehensive care. My approach is based on the appreciation of each patient as an individual whose state of well being is immediately affected by his or her lifestyle, which includes diet, habits, emotions and environment. Thus, each person's health needs will differ from that of another. From the moment you enter my office my mission is to support you in achieving a balanced state of health and well being.

Acupuncture is an appropriate treatment for hundreds of clinical conditions. It is also very effective for preventative care and health maintenance. Chinese medicine teaches that human beings have a natural flow of energy throughout the body. Pain and disease are caused by an imbalance, deficiency or blockage of this energy. Acupuncture taps into the pathways of energy to help restore the body's natural vitality. Acupuncture is a completely safe system of health care when administered by a trained and licensed practitioner.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is not a substitute for Western Medicine. They are complementary systems. Call us to discuss your needs and if acupuncture can be an alternative health care treatment for you.
