Chronic Pain, Stress & Health Issues
An Acupuncture & Bodywork Approach
Living with chronic pain or health issues is hard, especially when it's holding you back from doing what you love.
Even when you're doing all the recommended treatments, you may still struggle with symptoms.
Or, if you're trying different therapies, you might feel confused about how it all fits together or what's actually helping.
All you've been doing is important and brought some relief, but sometimes an integrated approach makes a big difference.
My Approach
Here's how it works:
- Get to the Root
Assess the complex interconnection of your body systems through an East meets West approach. This approach integrates the strengths of Traditional East Asian Medicine, sports medicine/orthopedics, and leading edge nervous system support. - Work Holistically
Address your symptoms and strengthen your underlying health so changes stick. - 1:1 Individualized Care
Your appointments focus fully on what's helpful for your unique body and health history. There's time to deeply listen to your concerns and I don't rotate between multiple treatment rooms.

What Makes My Practice Different
The magic of my practice comes from a multifaceted approach:
acupuncture + bodywork + nervous system repatterning.
I take time to help you understand
what you're experiencing in your body, too.
When it's no longer overwhelming to slow down and tune in, your nervous system can shift long held patterns and replenish.
I value collaborating with other medical and mental health providers, and a trauma informed approach.

The Process
My intention is to address your symptoms and nourish the roots of your health so you can thrive, not just get by.
The process generally follows these phases:
- Reduce Pain and Symptoms
- Stabilize the Changes & Replenish Underlying Health
- Make Appropriate Referrals, as needed
- Stay Well with Tune-Ups
What to Expect
When acupuncture and bodywork are helpful, you'll often notice positive changes within 1-3 sessions, and sometimes even after your first session.
Yet, a comprehensive approach takes time and goes deeper.
I recommend beginning with weekly sessions and then meeting less frequently as symptoms improve.
It's always easiest to catch the small, nagging issues when they first arise before they become big ones.
- For Chronic Issues:
When you've had a health concern for more than 3 to 6 months, I recommend an initial course of 6-10 appointments. - For New, Acute Issues:
Health issues you've had for less then 3 months often resolve much more quickly, even in a few sessions.
