Exciting News!!! We now offer affordable Community Acupuncture at our new clinic location every Thursday 3-6pm!! Hopefully, we will expand to offer it more days, but we are going to start small and see what happens!

There are two studies I'm very excited about...both backed up by good research design.. showed that a practice of gratitude journaling was correlated with decreased inflammatory markers in chronic heart failure patients and also an improvement in chronic pain and overall wellness in veterans.
