"It is difficult to sum up the impact you have made on me. Always calm, thoughtful and with an incredible power to listen closely."    – Bert

HOW THE ELEMENTS WORK TOGETHER

The ordinary magic of the five elements is that they work together by supporting and controlling each other, creating an environment that is naturally homeostatic and responsive. Not only are we capable of experiencing that responsive equilibrium within ourselves but it is our natural birthright as human beings!

WHAT DOES ACUPUNCTURE TREAT?

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine are ancient methods of preventing or treating disease of all kinds. Now, in these modern days, these modalities still have the power to prevent or treat all forms of disease and disharmony. 

Acupuncture can be effective in treating:
• pain of all sorts
• emotional distress or imbalance
• headaches
• insomnia
• digestive disorders
• reproductive disorders
• menstrual problems
• menopausal symptoms
• side effects of chemotherapy & radiation treatments
• traumatic injuries & surguries
• chronic fatigue & auto-immune diseases
• and more

However, it is important to note that, like any form of medicine, there are certain circumstances that are difficult to change. There are times when bringing some relief and comfort, rather than perfect health, are what acupuncture can provided.

I provide responsible care and, in certain circumstances, it might be most appropriate to work in conjunction with other western medicine treatments.
