Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs & Qi Healing If you are interested in acupuncture and Chinese medicine as a means to regain your inner balance, please contact my office for an appointment. At this present time, my Qi healing practice is full, but there is still room for clients seeking acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbs. All clients, regardless of their primary mode of treatment, receive qigong instructions, exercises or meditations as part of their healing experience. CHINESE MEDICINE Chinese medicine has a very rich history that spans several thousand years of continuous clinical use. The four major branches of this form of medicine are acupuncture, Chinese herbology, qigong and tuina. Each offers a different access to balance and integrate your spirit, mind and body. The underlying theory of Chinese medicine is that all beings and things in the Universe have Qi (~energy). When Qi is abundant and flows freely, a natural state of balance and health prevails. When Qi becomes excessive, deficient or blocked, an energetic pattern is created that may lead to physical, emotional, mental or spiritual problems. The primary goal of Chinese medicine is to locate and correct imbalances in the circulation of Qi (the root of problems). Imbalances may occur as a result of strong or sustained emotions, negative thought patterns, stress, physical trauma, poor diet, environmental factors or unhealthy lifestyle choices. Chinese medicine can be tailored to your unique, personal situation. Treatment options include acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, Qi healing and Chinese herbs. These are woven together to provide you with the best combination to restore or maintain the harmony of your spirit, mind and body. Assessments are made with the Chinese methods of personal health history, classical Chinese pulse taking, tongue examination, physical examination and Qi assessment. Because healing is an internal process, it requires your full attention and involvement. For this reason, qigong meditation or exercises are taught as a personal means for you to achieve and maintain your wellness goals. Visits are typically 60 minutes in duration, with actual treatment time varying from 30 to 45 minutes depending on the technique used. The initial consultation is ~ 90 minutes and includes an assessment of your condition, treatment and feedback. Follow up visits are scheduled twice a week at first and spaced out as your balance returns. It is recommended that you arrive at least 5 to 10 minutes before your appointment time so that you can be calm and centered for your treatment session. You may use the meditation room, when available, before or after your session. There are different kinds of meditation cushions available for this purpose. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing.
