“When I let go of what I am, I open to what I might become.”
Classical Acupuncture is based upon the teachings of the Classical medical texts of the Han Dynasty (206 BCE-220CE) which have been passed down for generations by the great masters including my teacher, Master Jeffrey Yuen, 88th Generation Taoist priest. Classical Acupuncture is a complete system of healing which utilizes 74 meridians to honor the individual as a unique whole in the prevention and treatment of illnesses. Many centuries of practice, observation, and documentation make acupuncture one of the most elegant, intricate, artful, and natural systems of healing still being practiced today. Acupuncture is a living medicine that continues to evolve as one of the most effective and safest therapies possible.
Receiving acupuncture treatment is a unique and powerful healing experience. Your first visit includes a physical examination and a thorough analysis of your current health and medical history according to Classical Chinese Medicine. The initial consultation will determine frequency of treatment. I treat the individual, not the disease and no two conditions are alike. In general, however, acute conditions typically take fewer sessions while chronic conditions may take longer. Over the course of treatment significant signs of progress will appear and we will adjust your treatment schedule appropriately.
The needles are FDA approved sterile, single-use medical devices which are extremely thin – about the width of three hairs. Sensations that are normally experienced may be a dull ache or tingling which is associated with the correct stimulation by the insertion of the needles. This is a desired effect. Most find treatments relaxing and many fall asleep. Treatment may also include a variety of non-needle techniques depending on your needs including: Custom Essential Oil Therapy, Moxabustion, Gua Sha, Herbal Applications, Cupping and/or Tui Na.
