Our Philosophy
We believe in providing high-quality, individualized care based on the patients’ needs. The goal is that the overall experience is relaxing, therapeutic, and beneficial in the long term.
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine a system of healing designed to provide complete, holistic care. Holistic care is looking at the entire patient in all aspects of well-being, including physical, psychological, and spiritual. Our main focuses when an individual comes to us for treatment is to help the person work on the problem with consideration of the underlying cause (root and branch), and to regain balance. It is also common to use acupuncture and Chinese Medicine for wellbeing and maintenance of health.
Treat Both Symptoms and Cause (Root and Branch)
In Chinese Medicine philosophy, most ailments can be considered “branches” of an underlying “root” imbalance. With knowledge of the specific pattern of imbalance, the practitioner can aid the client to resolve this root problem at the same time as the branch symptoms. This can help stop the main problem from coming back.
For example: some headaches can be linked to stress. If we also treat the stress and learn self-relaxation techniques, the headaches will stop.
Often, acupuncture treatments that treat a root cause can also help alleviate more problems than only the main complaint. For example, treating the root cause of digestive problems may also help with skin problems or sinus congestion.

Provide Balance
Using a complete definition of health, Chinese Medicine aims to bring a person into balance, which would resolve disease and pain. As an energy-based medicine, the goal is to create free-flowing energy through the body, which enables relaxation, reduction in pain, and alleviation of other symptoms of imbalance.
Signs of imbalance: pain of any kind, difficulty sleeping (either too much or not enough), being too hot or too cold in all or parts of the body, easy to sweat or overly dry, fatigue or hyperactivity, difficulty with digestion, heartburn, all kinds of menstrual problems, and more.
Provide Preventative Care
Traditionally, a Chinese Medicine practitioner would only be paid if his or her patients did not fall ill. His or her role in the community was to promote well-being and to correct imbalances before they became illness. In this way, we aim to both treat the main complaint of the person, as well as educate him or her of the best ways to prevent it from reoccurring. For example, regular “tune-ups” can help people prepare for the change of season and fend off those seasonal common colds.
