If you feel like you’ve tried everything for your chronic disease, this acupuncture is for you.
What most acupuncturists do is called TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). This is what we learn in schools. But not only is this style of acupuncture not actually traditional, it is also only a small part of acupuncture!
For many patients, this gives them great support, but for many others, it does not. This is important to know if you have gotten acupuncture before and not gotten lasting results.
What I use is the complete system of acupuncture, Classical Chinese Medicine, and this is why people get better when they work with me, even when they’ve tried acupuncture before.
These channels, and their specialized diagnostic methods, reveal things your body has stored for years—uncovering the true root cause of what’s going on—and when we treat the actual root cause, we can reverse the process that’s making you sick.

People get drastically different results when they work with me because I practice in a completely different way.
I specialize in chronic conditions—migraines, autoimmune issues, mental health concerns, and other things that haven’t responded to conventional treatment—because I know firsthand how exhausting and discouraging it is to be told that your labs look normal when you feel anything but.

If you’re tired of seeing different doctors for different things, a physical therapist for something else, a nutritionist for help with your diet, a massage therapist to help with tension, it might be time for a comprehensive approach. While I’m a licensed acupuncturist, my training and practice is very different, which means very different results for you.
Acupuncture is becoming a more mechanical practice, separate from the practice that make it so effective, so if you have had acupuncture treatments in the past that left you less than healed, consider that those treatments weren’t the whole story. Modern day acupuncture is losing its connection to the ancient practice that uses thousands of years of knowledge and experience to hear what our bodies are saying. When we return to a slower, principle-driven practice, this is where the magic happens.
This is what I do.

This is a very common question, and in my experience, most people say no, but my full, honest answer is that it can vary from day to day, from patient to patient, and from treatment to treatment.
If you’ve never experienced acupuncture, your experience with needles has been with hypodermic needles which inject or withdraw something from our bodies and are much, much larger than acupuncture needles. Acupuncture needles do not inject or withdraw a substance into or from the body but instead work with the energy in our bodies. In eastern medicine, this is called qi (pronounced chee).

When performed by a properly trained and licensed acupuncturist, it is very safe.

Needles are single use and are disposed in a sharps container like other medical waste.
High level, post-graduate acupuncture training gives you options that standard acupuncture often cannot, because standard acupuncture misses the strategies needed to address chronic disease. This is why patients will often report that their symptoms were better while getting acupuncture but that they did not get long lasting results. Highly specialized training results in exceptional results.
