Elaine Meade MAc joined Six Branches almost 6 years ago! 🌟
Elaine’s path to becoming a healer began with exposure to natural healing while growing up. Her mother taught her Reiki and bodywork, gave her herbs when she was sick, and took her for regular chiropractic visits. In her early twenties, Elaine began exploring nutrition, fitness, yoga, and meditation.
Through her own process, Elaine began to understand that the path to greater health and well-being involved tuning in to inner knowing, taking personal responsibility, and receiving expert guidance and loving support. Pulling from her years of practice, personal experiences, her formal study, and her gift as a healer, Elaine is dedicated to helping others along their path to finding greater vitality and well-being.
Reach out through the link in our bio if you'd like to schedule an appointment with Elaine!

As we head into the colder months, you might smell some moxa burning in our clinic and wonder what that's all about.
Moxibustion, or moxa, is a large part of the practice of acupuncture. Many practitioners in the US don't use it because of the smell, or because their leases prohibit burning anything, but we are big moxa-lovers at Six Branches!
Moxa is dried mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) , a plant many folks are familiar with, and we use it both externally, as moxa, and internally as the herb Ai Ye.
When we use moxa externally, we burn it near certain points on the body to stimulate healing, improve cellular function, and warm the body. it produces warmth and near-infrared light to support healing!
Stay tuned for more moxa FAQ posts coming up!

WHY SIX BRANCHES?
“Six Branches” refers to the idea of six major acupuncture meridians branching throughout the body like limbs of a strong tree. In traditional acupuncture, the meridians are thought of as pathways in the body for the movement of ‘Qi’. We don’t completely understand this phenomenon in modern scientific thinking but there have been studies that have shown higher electrical conductance through the fascia along the meridian pathways.
Naomi Skoglund is a Nationally-Certified Acupuncturist and Herbalist, and the owner of Six Branches Family Acupuncture. She takes your health concerns seriously and aims to be your partner in working towards optimal health. Over the past 6 years, she has seen the ways that acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine empower her patients to take charge of their health. Again and again, her patients report significant reduction in symptoms, less pain, better sleep, better immune systems, and an improved overall sense of well-being.
