I provide Acupuncture and other effective healing modalities for Asheville and surrounding communities. Immune Health is everything when it comes to feeling our best and staying well. Acupuncture promotes strong and resilient immune function for humans (and animals), assisting the brain and organ systems to work as optimally as possible. While acupuncture also helps heal acute or chronic injury, pain and many other conditions, it always facilitates immune function and mental health, the core to your well being. Homeostasis (when the body is working as optimally as possible) is the ultimate goal in every acupuncture session.
I am trained, certified and specialize in addiction treatment and recovery. Acupuncture is an evidenced based therapy that has benefited individuals suffering from addiction since the 1970’s. Throughout the the USA and across the globe acupuncture for addiction therapy is utilized. Acupuncture doesn’t create dependency like many medications, rather it helps truly heal the individual mentally, emotionally and physically. The withdrawal phase in recovery is the hardest and acupuncture can be highly effective in supporting the transition and beyond. Sometimes patients don’t want to talk about their past or trauma. Receiving acupuncture doesn’t require talk therapy yet can be a powerful adjunct to talk therapy.
What sets my practice apart: People want to feel heard and listened to especially when it comes to feelings about health and wellness. I feel it is important to spend quality time with patients, listening to health concerns and offering a gentle approach with acupressure, massage, moxa, gua-sha, Neuro-link, in addition to acupuncture. This helps to allay any fears regarding acupuncture needles. For those who may be very needle sensitive, there are other options to using acupuncture needles. It is my goal that the patient feel comfortable, safe and relaxed. The ‘needle’ part of acupuncture is generally not painful and we always have options.
I’d be honored to work with you, help support YOUR journey toward health and well-being.
