Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the medical branch of Chinese culture that traditionally includes acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, massage therapy and other forms of physical medicine, and Qigong. I strive to provide you with the best techniques and knowledge derived from these thousands of years of history and experience.  Acupuncture focuses on directing the energy (or qi) in your body as a regulatory force and thereby restores the balance between the various parts of your body.

About your first visit
Before your first visit, you will need to fill out some forms that ask about details related to your health history. After these forms are completed, I will discuss your information with you, then address any questions you have and discuss your goals. This will be done over zoom. You will need to sign consent and privacy forms.  After the treatment, I will form a treatment plan designed for you, usually weekly or biweekly appointments for 3-6 months, as well as other recommendations (nutrition, lifestyle, herbal, etc.). The first visit will be about 90 minutes and follow-up visits will be around 60 minutes.

Why does TCM work?
One of the reasons that Acupuncture and TCM work so well is that the practitioner treats the person, not the disease/condition. I look at the symptoms as they manifest in you individually, and diagnose/treat you accordingly. Humans are unique, each with our own lifestyles, psyche, routines, etc. This means the same condition in different individuals many manifest differently, while different conditions in different individuals may manifest in the same way. A skilled practitioner is a detective collecting clues, along with testimony, and like Sherlock Holmes, we can arrive at the "ah ha!" moment together. For a list of medical conditions that Acupuncture has been proven to treat, visit the National Institute of Health (NIH).

If you have a medical emergency, please contact your Primary Care doctor or go to the emergency room.
