Start Feeling Better NOW.
If pain, stress, or other health problems are interfering with your ability to sleep, perform work or leisure activities, or enjoy life to its fullest, I can help. Working together, we will explore your concerns and develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs to achieve optimal results.
What Sets You Apart As A Practitioner? Like many practitioners, I can effectively relieve pain and other symptoms. The big difference is that I don't stop there. By careful observation, listening, and palpation, I can often determine what underlying behaviors may be causing the problem and make recommendations to help prevent it from reoccurring. These can include things like regular stretching, strengthening, making small, practical shifts in diet and lifestyle, and incorporating behavioral changes that are often as simple as using better ergonomics, sleeping on a more appropriate pillow, or wearing better shoes. These simple things — things that most practitioners either do not recognize or do not take the time to uncover — can make a huge and lasting difference in your ability to get and stay well. While not all problems can be resolved so easily, it is my experience that most have simple solutions if we are willing to actively look for and incorporate them.
What Are Your Specialties? I am a general practitioner, meaning that you can bring me any type of problem you are having and I will either treat you or refer you to other practitioners as appropriate. However, I do have special interests in treating patients with acute and chronic pain, neuropathies, poor digestion and elimination, insomnia, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and menstrual and pre-menstrual conditions. I also have a particular interest in working with vegetarian and vegan patients, as well as those with known or suspected food sensitivities, to achieve optimum nutritional health within their dietary boundaries. Since I started out as a massage therapist in 2004, my work has drawn a disproportionately large number of musicians, and I have enjoyed working with them to reduce pain and reach new heights in their performance. My favorite patients are those willing to take on active roles in their own healing process as it makes the experience that much more effective and enjoyable.
What Is the Difference Between What You Offer and What I Can Get With Community Acupuncture? Community-style acupuncture has become very popular locally and can be used to treat certain types of conditions successfully. It is, however, limited by what areas of the body can be accessed and what types of therapies can be administered, and it is therefore often incomplete as a therapy for many conditions. By coming in for private sessions, you are assured the kind of individual, unhurried, unrestricted attention that ensures your ability to make progress as rapidly as possible.
About Me
Why Don't You Offer Night and Weekend Appointments?
In keeping with Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, I do not offer regular night and weekend appointments; it is just as important for me to have rest and leisure time as it is for my patients! When considering this, my weekday hours already run pretty late as a 6:00 PM appointment may not see me leaving the office until 8:00 PM.
