Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine
— For Body, Soul, & Spirit
For all the things your doctors have been treating separately.
Maybe it's your sleep, your digestion, your stress levels, your energy, your mood. Maybe it's all of the above. Chinese medicine works with the patterns, the rhythms, the bigger picture of what your body is trying to tell you.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Your labs are normal but you haven't felt normal in a long time
You're exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix — like a candle about to flicker out
Anxiety and stress have become the weather you live in rather than something that passes
Your digestion, sleep or energy feels unpredictable and there's no logical reason why
You're moving through a life transition and looking for something to help you find your footing.
You're ready for medicine that tends to your roots, not just your branches
What we can work with
Anxiety and stress
Burnout and chronic fatigue
Insomnia and disrupted sleep
Digestive issues — bloating, irregularity, nausea
Headaches and migraines

What working
together looks like

01
Your first session is 90 minutes — a thorough intake covering not just your symptoms but your sleep, digestion, emotional landscape and history. In Chinese medicine everything is connected and everything is relevant.

02
Treatment begins in that first session. After the intake, you’ll enjoy a gentle acupuncture treatment and a half an hour of peaceful rest while the needles do their work. We'll also discuss whether herbal medicine would support your healing — it's optional but often a powerful complement to acupuncture.

Follow up sessions are 60 minutes. We begin with a brief check in — how you're feeling, what's shifted, anything new — then move into treatment.

Each session includes more than needles — guidance around food, lifestyle, seasonal rhythms and stress, all rooted in the same Taoist philosophy that underlies the medicine.

My Unique Approach
Listening to the landscape
The medicine I practice is rooted in classical Chinese medicine — a tradition that has always understood the body as a landscape, shaped by nature, and the movement of the seasons
What that means in practice is that your anxiety, your fatigue, your digestive issues are never treated in isolation. They're part of a larger pattern — and that pattern tells a story. My job is to help you understand that story and work with it rather than against it.
This is medicine that goes deeper than symptom relief. Not because symptom relief isn't important — but because lasting change happens at the root.
Getting started is simple
Step One
Reach out by filling out my contact form and tell me a little about what's bringing you in. I'll be in touch to schedule your initial session.
Step Two
We meet and dig in. Your first appointment is 90 minutes. We'll go through your full history, your cycle and your goals. Then we get to work.
Step Three
We build from there. Over time the patterns become clearer and the medicine becomes more precise and personalized.
FAQs
-
Most people are surprised by how comfortable acupuncture actually is. The needles are hair-thin — nothing like a typical injection. You may feel a mild sensation of pressure, warmth or tingling at the needle site, which is actually a sign the treatment is working. Most people leave feeling deeply relaxed.
-
Comfortable, loose fitting clothing is ideal. We'll need access to your lower legs, arms and abdomen in most cases. Think yoga clothes or anything easy to roll up or move around in.
-
Everyone is different and I always work with what you're able to commit to. That said, I generally recommend giving it around three months for lasting change. Most people notice a shift relatively quickly — but the deeper work takes time.
-
Your first appointment is 90 minutes. We'll spend most of that time talking — your history, your symptoms, your lifestyle, your patterns. Chinese medicine takes the whole picture into account. After the intake, we move into treatment — a gentle acupuncture session followed by about 30 minutes of rest while the needles do their work.
-
Herbal medicine is optional but often a powerful complement to acupuncture. If I think a formula would support your healing we'll discuss it together. There's never any pressure.
