Musculoskeletal benefits.

Our bodies create guarding patterns to compensate for injuries, pain and inflammation, postural changes, and repetitive movements of daily activity. I use a style of acupuncture that can reset the natural biomechanics of muscles by encouraging the body to release these guarding patterns and return to its natural, structural state. This orthopedic style of acupuncture restores optimal function and movement and prevents further injury.

The mind-body connection.
Our mind-body connection is multi-directional. Emotional experiences affect physical changes and responses within our body. Conversely, physical ailments, injuries or pain can strongly influence our emotions and mood.

Emotional benefits of acupuncture.
Acupuncture can ease stress, anxiety and emotional imbalances by regulating branches of the nervous system and re-establishing equilibrium.

Acupuncture can trigger parts of the brain that govern and release brain chemicals, such as endorphins and serotonin, that contribute to an uplifted mood and a state of emotional well-being.

Preventative and maintenance of health.
The basis of acupuncture and Chinese medicine was founded on the idea that prevention is better than a cure.

Acupuncture can be used as a “tune-up” to boost our energy and immune system, bringing the body in balance.

Regular monthly sessions can help regulate the effects of stress on our bodies from everyday life or during life transitions.
