Intuitive Healing Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient holistic healing technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that involves the gentle insertion and stimulation of thin, sterile needles at strategic points on the body. "Qi", often referred to as vital energy flows through pathways, known as meridians within the body. ​This method aims to activate the body's intrinsic healing mechanisms and restore balance. A balanced flow of Qi is essential for physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, influencing various bodily functions and overall vitality. ​Acupuncture is a powerful and effective strategy to treat a wide variety of pain, illness and disease.

​In addition to acupuncture, I also provide consultation and treatment with the use of Chinese herbs. Other therapeutic modalities include cupping, moxibustion, Gua Sha, Tui Na massage, and Auricular (ear) acupuncture.

​

Glass Cupping

A method of applying heated glass cups to the skin surface to create a vacuum allowing for detoxification as well as releasing the muscle layer.  It is an effective treatment for respiratory diseases such as the common cold/flu, bronchitis and asthma as well as treating musculoskeletal aches and pain.

​

Moxabustion

A treatment that involves burning of moxa, Artemesia Vulgaris (Mogwort) herb, to facilitate healing by stimulating the flow of Qi, strengthening the blood, alleviating pain and maintaining overall health. Moxabustion is especially effective in treatment of both acute and chronic disease, cold or deficient conditions, skin disorders and digestive discomfort.

​

Gua Sha

The method of applying Gua Sha involves “scraping” the surface of the skin to elicit toxins or pathogens to treating pain, colds and flu symptoms.  Gua Sha treatments are not painful.  Areas of petechia may surface, depending on the severity of the stagnation of qi and blood.

Herbal  Remedy

Chinese herbal medicines are made from fresh herbs that are dried, distilled into a powder and made into a tea or formed into “teapills”.
