The Five Elements correspond to the seasons in nature as well as facets of ourselves. This ancient and profound art of healing has many benefits, including some you may not expect, such as greater emotional and spiritual well-being. Five Element Acupuncture helps to regain and maintain the balance of energy within us, restoring the smooth flow of qi.

When our energy is in balance, (nothing missing, nothing blocked, and nothing in excess) we have optimal health emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically. Acupuncture can be used to help the body heal itself when we are out of balance, in pain, injured, anxious or depressed. It can also be used when we are healthy to help us stay healthy and feeling great.

This ancient and unique form of acupuncture acknowledges the role that our emotions and our spirit play in our health. Five Element acupuncturists address physical symptoms, as well as search more deeply to the source of the issue.

Acupuncture is a key component in ancient Chinese medicine, and now a great deal of modern research proves that it is a safe, effective, chemical-free way to promote the body's own healing abilities.
Traditional Chinese medicine uses acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force - known as chi or qi (chee) which flows through pathways called 'meridians' in your body.
By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, your energy flow will be re-balanced.
Winter: Are we resting deeply in the winter, allowing stillness to be part of every day?
Are we holding on to our reserves or are we spending all of our energy as though all of life is an emergency.
Can we practice being comfortable with the fear of not knowing what comes next, and experience the wisdom that comes from that?
Spring: Are we able to burst forward with creative growth (with the energy gained from resting in the winter)?
Can we make a plan for where we'd like to go in the future, and see clearly how to get there?
