What I Offer: Acupuncture PLUS
Even though I am a licensed acupuncturist, I also offer various energy techniques prior to the acupuncture/acupressure to increase the effectiveness and help restore your health, wellness and vitality much faster and more completely than with acupuncture alone. My unique combination of these various energy techniques could result in a longer lasting fix as well as reach areas that have been previously unresolved. I work with clients of all ages using Muscle Response Testing to determine the specific, unique path for each person taking into consideration their symptoms, their lifestyle, their diet, their stress level. I look at the whole picture in detail and customize my work with them to determine how best I can help facilitate changes along with their cooperation.
In today’s world people are so used to getting things quickly- fast food, fast cars, fast internet…the faster, the better. Fast is not necessarily a bad thing for some areas of our life but when it comes to our health I think we need to slow down and take the time to really get to and fix the root cause of the problem not just mask the symptom. These days many people only go to the doctor when a symptom is severe or lasts a long time. Then they expect immediate relief from a magic drug. This may work for a while but often the drug stops working or side effects from the drug appear and more drugs are needed to remedy the new and old problems. After a while the person is on so many drugs they don’t remember what they are all for.

In my experience, ignoring or treating only the symptom is like covering up the oil light on your car, the problem seems fixed since the light is no longer visible but in reality, not only is the problem still there, but a new and more complex problem often arises. In my Energy work I strive to get to the source of the problem- energetic imbalance caused by some external or internal source. By identifying and correcting the layers and ultimately the source of the problem we can restore energetic balance which enables the body to return to optimal health.
Also, in my work I have also found that problems could be related to things outside the body such as a moldy house, out-gassing from new construction, environmental pollens, gluten intolerance, a poor diet, a low grade virus and many other possibilities that are often overlooked by many. My work considers and addresses these other possibilities as needed for a more complete, durable solution.
One of the first questions we were taught to ask in my training of Traditional Chinese Medicine was to ask about the client’s diet. Many problems can be resolved by modifying their diet to include more whole foods and a more balanced diet. In addition, nutritional deficiencies are very common in this world where many people don’t have time to prepare healthy, real food settling for fast food with little or no recognizable nutrition not to mention food additives and preservatives that can’t even be pronounced let alone utilized by the body. Sadly, many people don’t even know how to prepare real food that doesn’t come in a box with instructions. It is difficult to function optimally when inadequate fuel is the only source of nutrition.
Another area of concern in our all too busy world is that people are so busy they never take the time to relax, really relax so their body can come out of the “fight or flight” part of their autonomic nervous system into the healing, calming, restorative part. Many people are so busy pushing themselves and working hard to obtain the next goal in their life- a bigger house, a new car, more expensive toys- that they totally ignore or don’t even notice their bodies falling apart in front of them. The signs were usually there but the person thought they would just go away so they ignored them and pushed on. What good are all those possessions if you don’t have the health and vitality to enjoy them?
I try to encourage people to learn to slow down and notice the small symptoms before they get too big. Regular exercise, deep breathing, eating healthier, meditation or taking vitamins are some of the ways they can help themselves to complement the work that I do in the office. In addition to acupuncture theory, I complement it with Neuromodulation Technique, BioSET, Emotional Freedom Technique, the Bemer 3000 and several other energy techniques to help restore their energetic balance and make them happier and healthier. The real key to success doesn’t lie in these techniques alone, but in the combination of these techniques that I determine from MRT and the client’s willingness to make some changes in their life. The solution usually lies within all of us and I can help find it.
Being healthy, symptom free and full of energy at any age is possible.

Being healthy, symptom free and full of energy at any age is possible but it often takes hard work these days. I noticed recently that when I look at my healthy friends I realize that they work at it, it doesn’t come naturally. They watch what they eat, exercise regularly, know how to balance work and play and in general have something in their lives to ground them. They take control of their own destiny. They aren’t like the millions of unhealthy, pain-ridden, rapidly aging people who say
“I’ll do it tomorrow” or “I am just getting old so it is normal to feel like this”. We are beginning to realize that what you eat and how you take care of your body does have a bearing on how you feel. Pain and fatigue aren’t normal and shouldn’t be accepted as such at any age. If you are ready to live the life you have only imagined possible, call me now, it is possible if you are willing.
Please be aware that this is not necessarily a quick fix but more of a lifetime journey to attain and maintain optimal health and vitality in mind, body and spirit. Most of us know that if it seems like a bargain or it seems too good to be true, then we are probably correct. I have learned over the years that it doesn’t pay to skimp on my health so I use a combination of modalities that result in a deeper, longer lasting healing. If it took a person 30 years to get in the state of disarray that they are in then it probably isn’t realistically going to go away in one or two sessions. The time they invest in their health will be well worth it to get their life back.
