Needle phobia or apprehensive ? That’s okay we can work together through it or alternatively use different methods in treatment to still get great results.
First let me tell you a little about what to expect with Acupuncture.
Commonly people assume it will be painful. Equating it with having blood drawn, a vaccine or what dry needling feels like ! There are big differences starting with the needle itself and techniques.

Did you know the needles are nearly as fine as a couple strands of hair ? About 11.5 times smaller than a medical syringe needle. Typically people report Acupuncture to be relatively painless. Sometimes I even get “oh that’s it ?” Or “one’s in already !?” .

So what does it feel like ? Usually you’ll feel a tiny poke at insertion and then it dissipates. Some points can feel heavy, achy, tingly; totally normal ! We call this De Qi or the “arrival of qi”. Ever feeling a point is uncomfortable or sharp, just let me know and it’ll be resolved immediately ! I ALWAYS want to have you comfortable !

Still unsure about using needles in treatments ? Here’s alternative things we can try in treatment to still get happy & healthy results:
✅ Gua sha
✅ Cupping
✅ Ear seeds
✅ Moxabustion
✅ Acupressure
✅ Chinese Medicine based nutrition

It’s mid golf season ! That means your elbows/forearms might need a little extra care! How might you do this? Rest and Acupuncture can help decrease your symptoms, aid healing and keep your game going strong !
Golfers Elbow (medial epicondylitis) is experienced on the inside of your elbow it can cause weakness, tension, stiffness or pain. This may be due to repetitive motion and overuse or improper weight shift from your back swing to your down swing.
Who else may this apply to ? Anyone playing a sport that requires throwing a ball ! That same motion of wrist extension to flexion occurs causing strain on your flexors this can lead to tendinitis or tendinopathy. Meaning it can occur with or without inflammation, however if not healed properly it can become chronic.
Finding this all sounds farmiliar but on the outside of your elbow ? That’s known as tennis elbow ! Also something Acupuncture can tackle !
Don’t let your sore arms impact your game or progress into something worse this season, come in for some Acupuncture to help maintain it !

Unblock and heal your heart chakra with a Reiki treatment 💚

In addition with your treatment to further support and strengthen your heart chakra we can go over a few other simple ways to dedicate yourself to your healing journey. This may look like writing in a gratitude journal to refocus energy away from what we lack into what we already have. We may use or provide guided meditations or positive affirmations of self love and love of others. You can incorporate these into your daily routine. Affirmations use the power of our minds to bring forth what we want in this life. In this case, focusing on our loving essence and the type of healing we desire will strengthen the heart center.
Not ready to take those steps? That’s okay!
We can take it slow and do simple quiet energy work, allowing your body to relax and unwind is a great step in the right direction.
We will also open our heart and chest by bringing shoulders back and doing some deep intentional breathing, this increases the energetic opening that we desire in this space. Want even more of a boost to support your mental health, try Reiki out with some Acupuncture 💚

The world may be warming up to Acupuncture, but people still know so little about the breadth of its scope as a modality. Most folks know of Acupuncture for pain relief, some know of its internal benefits in the treatment of things like sleep issues, or digestive disturbances — but too few know the benefits of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine for the treatment of the SOUL/SPIRIT.

A key concept in Chinese Philosophy is the concept of “Ming” (命) — In a nutshell, "Ming" represents the idea that each person has a predetermined life path or purpose, shaped by the cosmos, their environment, and their inherent nature. It's not just about what's going to happen, but also about who you are at a fundamental level.

Now, when it comes to cultivating one's destiny, it's all about aligning yourself with your true nature and the natural order of the universe. As infants we are closest to our “true nature” because the “acquired mind” that arises from cultural conditioning and societal expectations has not yet taken root. However, as we age we grow farther and farther from our “true self.”

This is where Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture come into play. These practices aren't just about treating physical or even mental symptoms; they're about restoring balance and harmony within the body, mind, and spirit. They can assist us in casting off the shackles the world places on us.

This all might sound a bit esoteric, but there is a long history of internal cultivation of the spirit in Chinese Medicine. The interesting thing is that to work on these layers of health it needs to be a conscious and consensual decision between the practitioner and patient.
I can’t simply needle a point that will magically lead to change at a soul-level — it needs to be a conscious goal on both of our parts.

Now, keep in mind these aren't hard and fast rules - - there are many different schools and styles of Acupuncture out there.

The issue we face nowadays is that there are many practitioners out there advertising "Acupuncture" as a service - when really all they're doing is dry needling or IMS. Dry needling is often taught over a few days while Acupuncture takes years to learn.

Acupuncture is a holistic system of healing that considers not just the state of the physical body, but also the state of the mind and spirit. There is no ailment that exists in a vacuum - physical illness will have some effect on our mental health. Mental illness will have some effect on our physical health. Why not find a practitioner that can address both simultaneously?

A good Acupuncturist should be able to keep one foot firmly planted in the Eastern and Western medical systems. Physical anatomy and lab tests are important, but what makes Acupuncture special is its focus on the Meridian System - the energetic pathways that connect all the Acupuncture points and turn our body into an integrated whole. This is why we can use points on the feet to treat a headache. It's all connected!

When it comes to diagnosis, many Acupuncturists rely on the 4 Pillars - Questioning, Palpation of the pulse and the channels, Observation of the face and tongue, and listening / smelling noticing any changes in odor, tone of voice, etc.

In treatment we have access to a lot of new fancy equipment in our current age - but a good Acupuncturist knows the value of simply using our hands alongside the needles. Utilizing things like electro acupuncture and other modalities should only be used when it is necessary to your case.

A good Acupuncturist will tailor their treatment to you, the individual. No cookie cutter protocols. No one size fits all. Just truly individualized and holistic care.
