My Treatment Philosophy
~ Treatments should leave you feeling better and empowered in your own health and knowing
~ The choice is always yours. All aspects of a treatment and treatment goals are completely your choice.
~ We can discuss your health in terms of only the physical, or integrate emotional, mental and spiritual levels as you wish
~ I am happy to work as a stand alone or to work collaboratively with the rest of your health team
~ This is an anti-oppressive practice and I know that I must continually be learning and doing better
~ Recommendations are centered on adding to your life and listening to your own voice. I am passionately against using health practices to shame, punish, or restrict
~ This is an open space where your health concerns are welcome: you can swear, talk about sexuality, get into bowel movements, speak about the things that are causing you shame, etc., or none of the above and stick only to what you are comfortable with
~ I believe deeply in celebrating all of your wins

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The practice of acupuncture involves inserting ultra-fine needles into specific acupuncture points on the meridians of the body, with a specific needling manipulation technique, to prevent and treat diseases. Acupuncture may be used together with moxibustion, cupping, and other TCM treatment modalities.
Did you know? There are 361 classical acupuncture points on the 14 meridians that cover the entire body and allow energy flow. Stimulating these acupuncture points and meridians (which were mapped out thousands of years ago) will produce predictable results in the body.
What happens at an appointment?
First, I conduct a full health history. I welcome sharing of all kinds. You may be suffering on a physical level, but ailments can also manifest in emotional, mental, or spiritual blocks.
Please come in clothing that you're comfortable in. You may change into a t-shirt or shorts. I may ask you to remove a piece of clothing in order to access a point on your body, but if you are not comfortable it isn't necessary.
Please book an "initial intake" if it is your first treatment with me. This allows us to connect and walk through your customized treatment plan.
Virtual appointments are available if you would prefer to access support that way.
