By holistic I refer to seeing each individual as having a wealth of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual resources for healing.  Tapping into these riches can lead to a powerful inner shift without needles, as when I guided a visibly stressed woman into a few-minute meditation.  Her shoulder pain completely disappeared before a single needle was inserted.  Not only did she experience an immediate shift, she gained a way to treat herself between sessions.  In teaching her the skill of meditating, I was abiding by the wisdom in the proverb:

"Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."

​

I use skills from Chinese Five Element Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Sports Medicine Acupuncture, gua sha, cupping, Zero Balancing, Qi Gong, Chinese Medical nutritional principles, and life wisdom from extraordinary teachers, ensuring every treatment is as unique as the individual receiving it.
