Five Element Acupuncture is based upon the elements in nature-wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Each of us have all of the elements within us. If one is thrown off balance, the body compensates by asking another element to work harder. If this overworking/under-working dynamic goes on for too long, the body becomes exhausted in its attempt to remain balanced.
Eventually, illness results. Illness, be it on the physical, emotional, spiritual or mental level, is only an indicator-the body's way of asking for assistance. Five Element Acupuncture uses the creation and control cycles of the elements to achieve balance on all levels. As a patient of Five Element Portland Acupuncture, you will delve deeply into yourself, addressing the root of imbalance and opening the door to a healthful image of yourself as you are-perfect, complete.
While health is in balance, we all favor one of the elements. The key is balance while operating within the traits of that element, be it earth, air, fire, water, metal.

Hilarey earned her Master of Acupuncture degree from the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture in Florida and her BA in Environmental Education and Human Development from Prescott College in Arizona.
Hilarey's training and treatment philosophy suggests the responsibility as practitioner is to "Before ever placing a needle, we need to heal with our words."
This means listening to the person in her care, and understanding what optimum health looks like for them.
For all of us, true health includes physical well-being, emotional balance, fulfillment in relationships, financial stability, mental focus, and a joyful spirit.

Hilarey, I can't believe how much better I feel.
My back pain is so much better.
By the way, I got a new job, after talking with you about it.
My interview was right after my treatment.
I also booked that trip to Vietnam that I told you about wanting to take.
Life seems really seems to be coming together for me.
I was a relative 'first timer' with acupuncture treatment.
Last year, I didn't really know what to expect and was looking for some relief from trouble spots at my neck/shoulders, feet, and legs.

Very thin acupuncture needles are inserted just under the skin to stimulate qi (pronounced chee).
Qi is life energy-the electricity of the body, which moves from fingertips to toes, from the bones to skin.
Qi can become blocked, stagnant, excessive or depleted.
Acupuncture helps to restore the natural flow of qi to balance the body, mind, emotions and spirit.
Each of the five elements is related to an organ system within the body-each organ has its own related meridian, or energy channel, within the body.
