Through the use of Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as modern methods of alternative treatments, I combine a 3,000 year old tradition with a modern approach to healthcare. As each person is different, so too is their ailment, which is why I tailor each treatment to the individual's needs. This allows true and lasting healing from the core.

Unlike Western medicine, which focuses on the symptom, Chinese Medicine treats the root cause defined by the constitution of each client.

It has long been considered the medicine of the layman, because it treats the individual, not only the ailment.
TCM takes a "root" and "branch" approach to health, in that true healing cannot take place until both the root of the disharmony and the branch are treated simultaneously.
These concepts are taken from the Taoist philosophy that harmony and balance are elemental to the natural order of life and thus, health.
This concept was taken from the natural world around us, that every living being lives and dies by.

We use very fine needles, many the width of a hair.
You may feel a small pinch when first inserted, or a dull ache as "Da qi" is aquired.
Others experience a feeling of a small electrical current or warmth, but it is not painful or unpleasant.
Because each person and each disharmony is different there is no way of being sure.
If a disharmony is acute and not too severe it may take only one to three treatments.
If a disharmony is chronic it may take up to 12 treatments.
Although you may not see immediate improvements to your condition you will most likely experience some degree of relaxation after only one treatment, regardless of your malady.
