Health Professionals near Port Townsend, WA

Relief from pain or stiffness arising from injuries, accidents, or long-term structural alignment issues. Most treatments are performed while you are fully clothed. I work to try regain mobility, stability, and pain-free movement. I use a technique called Myofascial Balancing. I do not work like you would typically find at a spa with "smooshing-type" or gliding strokes with a massage oil.

As a practitioner of acupuncture and Chinese medicine I use subtle information from the body to promote healing. I enjoy using visceral manipulation, cranial sacral, ashiatsu massage, cupping, and moxibustion to address musculoskeletal pain, psychoemotional issues such as insomnia and addiction, and improving digestion. I provide the body with subtle information so that the body's own life force can be strengthened. I chose the name Joy Point Acupuncture, because good medicine should put people at ease and on a path towards well being. Every breath, every movement and every point should bring us closer to our joy and bliss.

With 22 years of clinical experience and 20,000+ hours of hands on time with clients, I bring a wealth of healing experience to every session. Specializing in John Barnes Myofascial Release, I gently work with the fascia, releasing the binding and holding patterns it can form over time. Unresolved injuries, accidents, scars or emotional traumas occurring with these events can leave you feeling like you are trapped in a tight web, unable to break free. But with a mix of compassion, intuition, and expertise I can help you break free! Giving lasting results not achieved in other treatments.

Are you tired of being confused about what to eat? I'm here for you! As a nutritionist that has practiced for nearly twenty years, I have seen a lot of fads come and go. And I have worked with so many of you who have come to me unsure about which fad was “right”. Instead of focusing on the perfectly “right” way to eat, I help my clients find the right ways to eat for them, while also helping to reverse prediabetes, improve fertility or symptoms with PCOS, and create a more resilient immune and hormonal balance with autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto’s disease.

Whether you are healing from a diagnosed eating disorder or you're tired of food controlling so much of your life; your intuition is correct, there is another way to engage with food and relate to your body.

With 38 years clinical experience, the spectrum of my professional nutrition services range from basic nutrition counseling/education for those who simply want to improve their diet & lifestyle, on up to therapeutic nutritional support for specific health conditions - everything from indigestion to cancer (see list of specialties below). A functional medicine nutrition approach seeks to identify & resolve the root cause. Professional nutrition services determine your personal health profile. One size does not fit all. Anyone can sell you vitamins, few can tell you precisely which nutrients best meet your actual, individual need.

Providing compassionate care is the foundation of my practice. Staying true to the origins of classical Chinese medicine, with its philosophical roots embedded in the ideals of virtue, compassion, and wisdom, my approach to healing is carefully focused on the needs of each individual. This includes moving away from the pathological model of medicine that has plagued the modern healthcare system and turning my attention instead to my patients' optimal health and wellbeing. Having been in practice since 1997, my extensive education and clinical practice has deeply informed my ability to effectively treat each patient.
