Almost any condition can be successfully treated with acupuncture because the goal is to correct the imbalances that are the underlying cause of the patient's symptoms. I find acupuncture is particularly beneficial for those with any type of pain: headaches, back pain, muscle, joint and nerve pain. It is also helpful for those with endocrine/hormonal issues, PMS, irregular periods, menopausal symptoms, digestive issues, abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. Also: anxiety, insomnia; high blood pressure, stress management, chronic fatigue. People with colds, sore throats, asthma, sinus infections, urinary tract infections, and dermatitis can also find relief with acupuncture.

Mind. Body. Spirit. The three aspects of what makes each of us who we are – all vitally important to consider and address in the journey toward optimal health. Going beyond treating individual diagnoses, my goal is to step back and examine the whole person. Those three components feed into everything we do and everything we are. Each individual is in a unique place and I work with each person toward their own specific wellness goals.
