Physical, mental or emotional symptoms arise to wake us up to imbalances in our lives. Sometimes we are holding onto old patterns from our early life, or are feeling the impact of unresolved traumas. Sometimes we need to evaluate our relationship to ourself or to others. How we eat, how much we allow ourselves to rest, the strength of our communities, our connection to Nature, our spiritual practices and our ability to feel and express emotions all affect how we feel in our bodies. True cultivation of health requires tending to these aspects of life.
I work with people to identify areas of life that are out of balance. The direction of treatment is determined from in depth history taking and the brilliant and infinitely complex practices of pulse and tongue diagnosis. I use acupuncture and related modalities, herbs, food medicine, and astrological insights to help people understand and shift patterns, habits, and health issues. Ultimately all healing comes from within, and I always seek to empower patients on their healing journey.
