Acupuncture
Cultivating original nature
As a practitioner, I am interested in my patients’ lives as a whole, not just their unwanted symptoms. It is my opinion that a person’s awareness on his or her lifestyle is far more important than any given treatment. Becoming aware of the state of our health requires contemplation, inner work and the observation of our imbalances. A change in consciousness can help so that we are actively engaging in the healing process and allowing wellbeing to take place.
In that sense, my ultimate intention is for us to co-create a new perspective that opens the path to healing. I believe in the process of accountability and my goal is to educate people on how to care for all aspects of themselves. I am most passionate about contributing to people’s self-empowerment by inspiring my patients in reaching their physical and emotional goals.
The treatment I offer is an integrated, intuitive mixture of acupuncture and bodywork, in which I use moxibustion, cupping, massage; it is complemented by lifestyle, herb and supplement recommendations.
Acupunture is

Wellbeing & Pain Relief
Illness, trauma and emotions as well as the personal value we assign to these events greatly affect us, causing stress in the different systems of our body. The foundation of Chinese Medicine is based on studying patterns in the Meridians or Channels, that develop as a response to physical stress or emotional reactions. These energetic patterns and blockages can wreck havoc in our lives via the complex interrelationship between mind, body and spirit within us. Wellbeing, peaceful sleep and overall contentment depend on the smooth flow of Qi (vital energy).
A further source of imbalance is a result of disharmony in physiological and neurological patterns, which are embedded in our body’s cellular memory. Unravelling and releasing these survival mechanisms brings the body and mind back into alignment, so that healing and growth can follow.
This service addresses chronic pain, tightness and/or related injury specific to an area or muscle group. Manual therapy such as Deep Tissue Massage, Tuina, cupping and moxibustion are applied as needed. It is not considered a relaxing nor a full body massage.
Both delicate and complex, women’s health is of utmost importance to bring balance in the menstruation cycle, providing optimal fertility and a smooth transition into menopause. Acupuncture treatments, herbs and supplements provide the inner nurturing and support necessary to treat ailments and imbalances such as cysts, fibroids, frequent miscarriages, to name a few.
