Health Professionals in Austin, TX
Talking about the acupuncture, the first thing, or the only thing, that comes to most people’s minds is the pain. Acupuncture helps pain relief – back pain, shoulder pain, headache, etc. Does acupuncture treat pain only? The answer is “No.” At Guanyin Chinese Medicine Clinic, we work with all kinds of health conditions – acute, chronic (5 years, 20 years, or longer), physical, and emotional. Your condition is prudently evaluated, and a treatment plan is developed to best fit your needs.

It is not often we are encouraged to honor our bodies needs. We live in world that teaches us to "watch it" and "have it together", especially around weight and food. Unfortunately, this constant pressure to "be good" can play a role in constant dieting, restricting, binging, purging and an all or nothing attitude around exercise. Fortunately, we can make peace with food and our bodies again. Our approach of trauma informed nutrition counseling and coaching teaches non-diet eating and body wisdom skills to learn to trust and feel safe inside the body and manage chronic issues such as burned and stressed out, PCOS and gut health.

Do you feel out of control around or controlled by food? Are you confused by all of the nutrition misinformation floating around? Are you struggling with disordered eating or an eating disorder?

Are you working hard in the gym but not seeing the results show up in your health? Or perhaps you know what to eat, but struggle to make it stick in a busy lifestyle?
It is incredibly frustrating to feel like you are doing everything "right"—exercising and trying to eat well—yet still dealing with low energy, stubborn weight issues, or confusing lab results. You don't need another generic meal plan or a drill sergeant; you need a strategy that connects the dots between your movement and your metabolism to finally see results.

My work centers on understanding you as an individual, your needs, your culture, your preferences, and your health goals. I believe nutrition care works best when you are actively involved in the process, so I prioritize shared decision-making and goal setting that feels realistic and meaningful to you.

My ideal clients are adults who have been dealing with ongoing health issues and feel like nothing has fully added up yet. They may struggle with digestion, fatigue, anxiety or low mood, skin issues, inflammation, or symptoms that seem to affect multiple areas of the body at once. Often, they’ve tried conventional care or standard nutrition approaches and are still looking for answers. What they want most is to understand why they feel the way they do and to work with someone who looks at the whole picture rather than treating one symptom at a time.

My clients are adults, teens, and athletes who are tired of fighting with food. Some are in recovery from anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, or ARFID. Some are athletes underfueling without realizing it. Others have spent years dieting, feeling out of control around food, or following rules that stopped working. They're not looking for another meal plan that tells them what they're doing wrong — they want support that actually fits their life. Many come in already knowing something needs to change. They just need a space to figure out what that looks like without shame or pressure.

I specialize in weight loss nutritional counseling, vegetarian/vegan, sports nutrition, and strength, balance, and flexibility training. It is important to like what you're eating, and it doesn't have to all be health food. We discuss what you can eat more than what you can't. People become overweight for reasons other than knowledge and eat for reasons other than nourishment. Nutrition counseling is an client-driven exploratory process that teaches a lot about you and why you do what you do. Most clients have tried other programs and want a tailored solution that is efficient.

Sky Hill Acupuncture is committed to helping you achieve your wellness goals. Severe pain or constant stress can trigger the body's fight or flight system. This "emergency" response disrupts the normal processes of sleep, digestion, hormone regulation, and cell renewal causing us to feel and look run down. Anxiety, insomnia, hot flashes, acne, hair loss, dull skin, joint pain, and fatigue often result. Hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause and menopause can cause digestive problems, infertility, memory lapses and more. Understanding the underlying cause of disease is key to getting your health back.
