Intensity is not the only path to change, even if it is the one that is most famliar.

Short-term relief is certainly helpful and attainable, but instead of always looking for strong sensations during treatment, we can ensure long-term, meaningful change by

❤ Taking a *deep* look at the patterns behind the pain and tension

❤ Using a toolkit which treats the whole being and their relationships to people, places, and things

❤ Offering social support and simple approach to healthy living

❤️ An appreciation for Chinese herbal medicine, which stole my heart in acupuncture school.

🌿 Herbal regimens can be simple, and can cover multiple issues without having to keep track of multiple bottles.

🍵 When my patients are looking for a way to feel better, faster and more sustainably, we are going to look at safely bringing in herbs as a support.
