My approach encourages regulation of the nervous system first. Along with acupuncture, treatments may include other modalities such as Kruger Omni Healing and Trauma Recovery. There is no substitute for the healing power of touch and so I begin every session with gentle massage, acupressure and often cupping.
Acupuncture
This holistic approach to healing links the body, mind, emotions and spirit. Very thin, sterile, single-use needles are inserted into the skin along the meridian lines. The procedure is virtually painless, and surprisingly enough, even relaxing. My style of acupuncture is rooted in touch and I tend towards fewer needles with less manipulation and a shallower insertion for patient comfort.
Cupping
After applying oil, I heat 2-6 glass cups using a lit cotton ball and then place them on your back. The warmth inside the cup creates a vacuum that lifts the skin, fascia and muscles and opens the meridians. The cups are then moved in a smooth motion all over the back, shoulders and neck. Like a deep tissue massage without the pain, this modality decreases muscle tension and relaxes the nervous system.
Positive Reprogramming
When we experience extreme emotions, they can become locked in the body, creating physical symptoms. Incorporating various healing modalities, this treatment offers relief from emotional imbalances, whether from a specific event, childhood experiences, micro-aggressions or from an unknown source. Using a simple and gentle approach, I can work with you to release emotions that are carried in the cells and tissues and clear unwanted and outdated patterns that limit your potential, without the need to re-live the event.
Kruger Omni Healing
Using a gentle, safe and hands-on approach, this modality stimulates a healing response from the nervous system to bring about balance and relief of symptoms. Conditions treated: sleep and mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, acute and chronic pain, sports injuries, headaches, migraines, postural misalignments, range of motion issues, sciatica, trigeminal neuralgia, etc. KOH also boosts the function of organs and muscles, treating digestive, endocrine, respiratory, gynecological and neurological complaints.
