The work I do is based on Chinese medicine, one of the oldest holistic healing traditions, and can address many different kinds of issues. Health, according to Chinese medicine, occurs when the "qi", or "vital energy", is moving smoothly and harmoniously through its pathways in the body. When this happens we experience a wonderful sense of well-being and connection in our lives. This can be felt on the physical level, pain management is one benefit, and also on the mental, emotional and spiritual levels, as the qi affects all aspects of our being.

My immediate concern is your discomfort. Your pain is addressed from the first visit; I use hands-on technques to reduce muscle spasms, joint tension, and disc pressure on the nerves: i.e. a tension headache can be reduced in seconds. I also prescribe foot orthotics for knee, hip, and back pain. Spinal assymetry is a cause of chronic back pain. Adults will find their sport and on-the-job injuries resove quickly; everyone wants to return to their faivorite activities as soon as possible. I like helping active people to stay active.

Many people seeking naturopathic care have already tried conventional treatment, supplements, restrictive diets, or other natural approaches without finding lasting improvement. They often feel stuck, reactive, exhausted, or overwhelmed by conflicting information.
My practice focuses on understanding broader physiological patterns involving sleep, stress tolerance, digestion, energy regulation, inflammation, and recovery capacity. Rather than chasing symptoms in isolation, I look at how different systems of the body interact and contribute to the overall picture.
