Health Professionals near Arlington, MA

You are the expert on you, but don't know where to start. The expanse of the internet often provides confusing, unprofessional, and potentially harmful information about nutrition, weight, and health. I am not focused on "perfect" nutrition. Does it even exist? Let's look at the health and weight messages that influence you and find out what's relevant to YOU. Person versus population. We will have an honest conversation about what you need to focus on and how to make it happen. People expect a dietitian to judge them - but most people leave my office with hope, feeling like they are supported in making incremental change.

"Five Element acupuncture is the foundation and backbone of my practice. This is an elegant and beautiful system of medicine that helps people heal and maintain balance at a deep level. Each person has an innate healing ability. By listening and gathering information about a person's life I can help to stimulate their own healing potential and guide them towards balance and health. I also encourage lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise. In addition to Five Element acupuncture I incorporate Dr Tan's Balance Method and Zero Balancing, a type of bodywork, which balances body energy and structure through touch.

I started massage as a way to facilitate person healing and growth through helping others. I help people everyday who have been to therapist after therapist but they never went to a neuromuscular therapist. As a NMT I’ve had extensive training in Anatomy, and have a much more advanced understanding of what causes myofascial pain, where it comes from and how to get it under control than a therapist that isn’t one. Let me help you. I also use muscle rubs that have essential oils, CBD and herbs that aid in decreasing inflammation naturally. Come experience my Neuromuscular fusion massage catered to your needs and dysfunction.

I use the simple tenets of acupuncture to increase circulation, decrease inflammation and calm the nervous system. That takes care of physical pain and stress which can upset digestion, sleep and even a woman's cycle. This helps patients by teaching their bodies how to help themselves.

I'm particularly good at educating my patients, about their current health conditions, and about treatment and prevention. I came into medicine strongly influenced by the women's self-care movement of the '70; I believe health care can be about giving people control over their bodies and their lives. While homeopathy is only one of the modalities I use, the skills needed to be a good homeopath, deeply understanding a patient, serve me (and my patients) well in whatever form of treatment we choose.

What brought you here today? Did you or a family member receive a new diagnosis? The words hypertension, diabetes, failure to thrive, “overweight,” can be alarming. Maybe the last diet failed you and you’re looking for some permanent peace with food?

Every food decision is a stressor and, well, is that what they mean by “wellness”? We don’t think so. Our team of experienced dietitians work to provide peace around food. Making eating easy, because life is complicated enough.

I came into the practice of Chinese Medicine as a patient twenty seven years ago. Receiving acupuncture for the first time was an experience of both welcome relief from pain mixed with a sense of deep relaxation. It is from that experience that I view each patient.

Treatment styles include needles, laser, cupping, and non-insertive methods as required. Each patient gets gentle care and is provided with tools and techniques to help maintain good health.

I became interested in natural healing techniques a long time ago. Considering the potential side effects of medicines commonly prescribed, I thought it worthwhile to study alternative methods of healing. Initially, I trained in Shiatsu and Massage Therapy, I graduated from the New England School of Acupuncture in 1984. My post-graduate studies involved extensive training in Chinese Herbal Medicine.

We live in a challenging time in regards to food, nutrition and body image. We are submerged in nutrition myths, quick fix diets and “perfect” bodies on social media. We feel immense pressure to change our bodies, and work tirelessly to eat and move in a way that will do just that, only to find ourselves defeated, exhausted, and back where we started. Over time, we forget that eating and movement should be pleasurable and nourishing.
