Point of Balance - Acupuncture and Herbs
Acupuncturist, LAc, MSTOM, MedVet, PhD
Lambertville, NJ 08530
Based on traditional principals of Oriental Medicine, I offer personalized treatments, while also educating patients about healthy lifestyle choices. Health is influenced by our thoughts our feelings and our life experiences. It is the balance of our physical, emotional and mental well-being and not just an absence of illness. Each day we have an opportunity to make positive choices, which greatly will influence our health and well-being. Regular acupuncture treatments can assist in maintaining health and possibly preventing the onset of disease by recognizing subtle tendencies within the organ system that might cause future imbalances.

I want my patients to be very comfortable AND help their stress and pain. This is "feel good" and effective acupuncture. I also offer traditional Chinese herbal medicine. Your first treatment will start with an evaluation of what treatment will be best for your needs - herbal medicine, acupuncture, or both. After doing traditional pulse diagnosis and looking at your tongue and listening to your main health complaints and goals, I will present a customized treatment plan.

Have you tried all kinds of diets, supplements, and meal plans but still feel far from achieving your health goals? You assumed and trusted that if you did the program, it would change you. You expected that it would make you feel happy, confident, and calm. They told you it would be easy. They told you it would bring results—specific results. They told you that you would lose weight and keep it off—this time for good. But that didn’t quite happen… Nutrition is a science, food is a behavior, and behaviors are thoughts and feelings being acted out.

Over my many years of providing Nutrition Therapy, I have learned how complex most people are. This has led me to continue my education beyond my Nutrition degrees into various certifications, including Diabetes Education, Integrative & Functional Nutrition, as well as the Monash FODMAP program. I have had a lot of success with guiding clients with IBS on Low FODMAP diets. Additionally, I recently completed a Digestive Wellness program in order to help with a growing number of clients with other GI concerns. As an Integrative Nutritionist, I use assessment tools that help me to look at clients in a more comprehensive way.
