Integrated 5-Element (5E) + Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Approach
Her goal with acupuncture is to address imbalances that cause disharmony in the body, mind and spirit. Acupuncture restores the harmony between yin and yang, the most fundamental concept of Chinese medicine.
As a trained 5E acupuncturist, she is equipped with treatment principles that help her patients realign with their true selves—their constitution. The most fundamental principles are that we are whole, never broken, and an interrelated and integral part of nature. With adjunct training in TCM, she utilizes disharmony patterns to pinpoint and treat body-mind imbalances specifically and effectively.
