Services and Products

Acupuncture

Your acupuncture treatment will be unique, in depth, an d enjoyable. My work is very gentle and yet powerfully healing. We use very thin, sterile, single-use, disposable needles. Most people find acupuncture to be very tolerable, reporting little or no discomfort. Almost everyone experiences a deep relaxation during and after the treatment. A typical treatment with me lasts 60 minutes most of which is devoted to your personal treatment. Initial evaluations may take a little longer. In addition to acupuncture, we may use other time-tested modalities in individual treatments, such as Cupping, Gua Sha, Tui Na (Chinese physical therapy), electric stimulation, and the application of heat or cold.

NEEDLE FREE TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE!

Cupping

Cupping, an ancient Chinese practice, warms and promotes the free flow of Qi and blood in the body, and is typically used to treat musculo-skeletal disorders such as pain in the lower back, shoulders, and legs. Other disorders, such as gastrointestinal disease, cough and asthma, also respond well to this therapy. While cupping does cause mild bruising (part of the therapeutic process) patients often report immediate relief from long-term chronic conditions

Herbology

The use of herbal remedies has been known to most cultures throughout history. Chinese herbology is the oldest herbal medicine in existence today. Much of modern pharmacology is based on this ancient practice of herbalism. In fact, many current Western pharmaceuticals are derived directly herbal materials. Herbal formulas are prepared individually for patients to meet their specific needs. In addition, each formula may be modified throughout the course of treatment as the patient’s condition changes. Herbal medicine, when properly dispensed, does not cause unwanted side effects, which often occur with pharmaceutical drugs.

Guided Meditation / Imagery

Let me guide you on an inward journey toward healing and balance. This work is based on traditional guided meditation techniques, visualization and imagery, and hypnosis. Reduce stress, find inner balance, heal mind and spirit, and learn tools for developing your own meditation practice. You may choose to do inner work and healing, or simply be guided to a place of calm peacefulness and nurturing relaxation. 

Energetic Healing

Working directly with the energetic body we can reestablish balance, heal emotional, psychic, and spiritual trauma and ease physical injuries while promoting overall healing. Over the years I have studied various energetic healing therapies including Reiki, Polarity Therapy, and Medical Qi Gong. My work with Medicine Buddha Healing also influences they way I approach Energetic Therapy treatments. This therapy is non-invasive, gentle, deeply relaxing, and profoundly healing.

Medicine Buddha Healing

This work reaches deeply into the energetic levels of Body, Mind, and Spirit to relive both the physical and metaphysical causes of pain and suffering on all levels of being. Treatment includes the use of tonal and vibrational tools including tuning forks , sacred Tibetan and Nepalese Singing Bowls, Medicine Buddha Mantra, aroma therapy and Energetic Healing work. Medicine Buddha Healing sessions are deeply nurturing and profoundly healing. This healing style is based largely on ancient methods taught to me by Lama Lobsang Palden Rinpoche, a Nyingma tulku, or reincarnated lama, of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. www.lamalobsang.com
