A: Acupuncture is an ancient healing art which originated over 3,000 years ago and is the oldest continually practiced health system in the world. Qi (pronounced "chee") flows like a long string throughout the body, and it vibrates, as energy, to keep you in tune. When there is a knot or slackness in this string and qi cannot flow freely, illness results. By influencing the qi at these points, you restore your natural state of health. This is for you. I support you if you have a specific physical or emotional concern or if you desire general wellness. And when you do it regularly, it is most likely you:
Q: What Does Acupuncture Do? top of page A: Acupuncture can be used in many ways. Relaxation, stress-management, and physical concerns are some of the most common. Because it puts the whole person's qi into energetic balance, acupuncture can be used for a wide variety of reasons. With regular treatment, you can feel the difference on many levels. It can remind you on a visceral level that you are the only one with the power to create your life. Just imagine a giant 'reset' button being pressed. Q: What is Zero Balancing?
top of page A: Zero Balancing (ZB) aligns your energy flow with your physical structure at the bone
level. It is a powerful and effective way to balance qi without needles. ZB is at the leading edge of holistic therapies. It uses Western science’s knowledge of body structure. From there, the focus is put on energy flow and wellness. In this way, you get the best of both worlds. A ZB practitioner works with your structure and energy to bring balance between the two. Sessions are gentle and rejuvenating. Emphasis may be on any combination of body, mind, and/or spirit. A session generally takes between 30 and 40 minutes and is performed with you fully clothed, comfortably reclined. Most people report feeling lighter, more connected, and an enhanced state of awareness after treatment sessions. Visit the ZBHA: http://www.zerobalancing.com Q: What’s Special in My Treatment Space?

Q: What is your speciality? top of page A: I specialize in working with cancer survivors and their families. After supporting my mother in her recovery from breast cancer, I have decided to focus on this part of the population. Many of these people struggle with stress and anxiety, as well as symptoms from undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment for cancer. Acupuncture is very effective in providing relief from neuropathy, temperature sensitivity, brain fog, and the other challenges that cancer survivors have. There is a lot of fear involved in dealing with cancer and the western medical process. I have had great success in helping people to reframe their underlying beliefs in order to create a vision of life that is big enough to live in; bigger than their cancer. I also specialize in chinese medicine's view on nutrition. I have found that this makes a huge difference in patient progress for all issues. Better nutrition has helped a number of people vastly improve their health through simple, easy to understand guidelines on the foods that will support them in their path to wellness. I find it amazing how much nutrition affects us in our day to day health.
