Four practices, one thread.
Acupuncture is the centerpiece — but rarely the only tool. Most patients leave with a small set of dietary, herbal, or movement instructions tailored to where their body is right now.
A treatment isn't a recipe — it's a response.
Classical Acupuncture
Hair-fine, single-use sterile needles placed along the body's channels to stimulate the natural circulation of Qi. The points chosen depend on what your body is presenting that day — not a fixed protocol.
Many patients describe Acupuncture as deeply relaxing. Some feel changes immediately; others notice the shift days later, when an old discomfort quietly stops showing up.
Chinese Herbal Therapy
Herbal formulas selected to support the constitution and address the patterns your body is working through. Formulas are adjusted as you change and your health evolves.
Herbs are not a substitute for Acupuncture; they are a complement, often making the work of a treatment last longer between visits.
Chinese Dietary Theory
In Classical Chinese medicine, digestion is a “cooking pot” that should be kept warm and simmering. Most dietary guidance here is small and practical: warm drinks before cold ones, raw foods at the end of a meal, variety over monotony.
Patients are guided with specific recommendations for breakfast, lunch, and dinner — tailored to their constitution and what we're trying to support.
Simplified Qi Gong
A short, accessible sequence you can practice at home. Qi Gong works on the breath, posture, and the steady internal movement of energy — the kind of gentle, repeated practice that supports long-running change rather than crisis fixes.
Patients who maintain a practice between visits typically need fewer treatments overall.
Concerns we are often asked to help with.

Classical Chinese Medicine looks at root patterns rather than isolated symptoms. The list above describes reasons people come. The right starting point is a short conversation about what you're experiencing.
