Health Professionals in Maine

My interest in acupuncture began in 1986 after I first received treatment. My positive experience led me to want to study the tradition and to offer it to others. The foundation of my practice is in Five-Element Acupuncture. Continuing education has led me to other treatment forms that work well with the Five-Element tradition. Since 2004 I have been certified as an Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist working with addictions. Since 2006 I have been certified as a Zero Balancer. I use Dr. Tan's Balance method for pain relief. I enjoy working with both children and adults, and employ acupressure and non-insertive needle techniques for those who would prefer an option to working with the needles. My approach to treatment is to hold each patient in their wholeness, working from a place that sees human beings as an integral part of nature made up of complex relationships between their anatomy and physiology and their emotional and spiritual bodies. I listen and respond to the body's systems as uniquely expressed by each person to address imbalances and restore health and well-being. With improved balance in the body's systems, the quality of your life will be enhanced.

Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine make up a full medical system that treats just about anything. Acute ailments can be cleared up with just a few treatments. While chronic conditions take regular and longer term treatment, it is a worthwhile commitment for those in search of deep level healing that also includes a broadening and deepening spiritual awareness. This is what I am committed to in my practice. It is my life's work. While the subtlety of this medicine allows for the detection of subtle patterns before they become disease, this medicine is also effective for prevention.
