Dr. Bret is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner with over 20 years helping patients restore health and vitality.

Patients are often frustrated with Western care. They have a list of health complaints, but the doctor says "you labs are normal" and no action is taken. Dr Bret starts where your primary doctor stops. We'll find the underlying cause and help you!

Acupuncture is your way to health and vitality. Through a compassionate approach I empower people to awaken their inner potential to heal, feel better, and participate in life again. Treatment rooted in theory that has been proven for thousands of years; acupuncture regulates the neuroendocrine system, increases blood flow, creates new tissue, activates the parasympathetic nervous system putting you in a healing state, elicits a chemical response in the brain, and helps your brain and body communicate efficiently. General benefits of receiving acupuncture are increased energy, better sleep, decreased stress, and relief from pain.

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. My approach of somatic nutrition therapy and coaching teaches intuitive eating and body wisdom skills to learn to trust our bodies again.
