Hi, Everyone! Exciting news! I'm all set up and ready to take patients at Ashworth Chiropractic & Acupuncture Clinic in West Des Moines, Iowa! After the past 7 years practicing in Oregon, I'm excited to share my acupuncture experience and expertise back here in my home state!

Acupuncture can be very effective at treating a wide variety of issues, including pain, anxiety, depression, and digestive disorders. As you might know, I also have a special soft spot for treating fertility issues, menstrual disorders, and menopausal symptoms.

I'm excited to serve you here in the Metro area! The clinic is located at 5504 Ashworth Rd in West Des Moines. You can book an appointment with me by calling the clinic at (515) 225-4002. The people at the office will be happy to get you on the schedule!

At Redwood Massage and Wellness, we are dedicated to helping people with their health and well-being. We were determined to stay open as long as we could because there is a need for care and alternative methods of pain relief. Unfortunately, we have been told that we are a non-essential service and must close our doors until the need for quarantine has passed. I am still available to work with you over the phone with tapping, which can help with anxiety and pain relief, as well as many other things. Please call me at 541-661-7313 if you would like to set up an appointment for tapping. It's a fun and interesting process and very easy to learn! Please watch this introductory video to learn more about EFT/Tapping.

In Western Medicine the body is seen as a machine, you try to fix a broken part or take it out. In Chinese Medicine, the body is seen as a garden. If the leaves are wilting or turning brown, you examine the condition of the soil, see if the plant is getting enough water & sun or if the roots are being impinged upon. You don’t just paint the leaves green! ~ From the classic book on Chinese Medicine, "Between Heaven and Earth".

I love that in the "Story-at-a-glance" below the first video, it says that if you're squeamish about needles, you could still try something like EFT (tapping) and there's another video that goes over that. I do both acupuncture and teach tapping to my patients. Both are great ways to relieve pain and other disorders. :)

Acupuncture seeks to rebalance your body so its energy flow is able to circulate freely and harmoniously, thereby restoring health and well-being.

Acupuncture beats gabapentin and additional drugs for insomnia and hot flashes treatment.

I don't just do acupuncture. I teach tapping as well. Not just good for kids, but for all people. :)

Really good article about the difference between real results from acupuncture and simply the placebo effect. Acupuncture is pretty amazing! :)

Placebo acupuncture can ease short-term pain but the real thing might help to reverse the underlying pathology of a disease

Another article on the benefits of cupping. A very useful therapy. :)

Cupping is a therapy in which a cup made of glass, silicone, or bamboo is placed on skin as a suction device to pull the superficial muscle layer upward.
