How do I practice medicine?
I practice Functional Medicine, primarily through the lens of Chinese Medicine.  As opposed to only treating symptoms, Functional Medicine consists of looking at the whole person: mentally, emotionally, and physically in conjunction with their organ systems.  If an organ system is not functioning optimally, we want to shift that, resulting in feeling better and being well.
 
​

Chinese Medicine is an ancient system that examines the root of the problem through the organ systems of the body.  It consists of using Acupuncture and Herbal remedies, when needed.  I combine this with modern lifestyle changes and supplements aimed at helping one's own body function at its best in order to rid itself of disease or chronic ailments.

​

I practice a combination of five-element acupuncture and classical acupuncture. I have found this is the fastest way to heal: treating the root of the problem while alleviating the symptoms a the same time.

​

I also include Cranial Sacral Therapy in many of my treatments.  It is an extremely gentle form of massage that works with re-aligning the cranial bones and the rhythm of cranial sacral fluid. This energetic work couples nicely with acupuncture.  Both are subtle, yet deeply effective.
