Ancient Wisdom for Modern Women TM
Women tend to be over treated in western medicine with little regard for the psycho-social and emotional environment in which they live. Elizabeth focuses her practice by engaging women in a less conventional path to better health. Women today face challenges vastly different from their mothers and grandmothers in terms of health and wellness. Yet it’s the history and wisdom of women and the traditions of Chinese medicine that coalesce to help heal today’s modern woman.
Elizabeth’s approach to treating her patients is highly individualized and holistic. She starts with a lengthy initial appointment delving deep into the patient’s detailed health history and her physical and emotional circumstances. She carefully listens to and builds a strong relationship with her patients in order to develop a clear and detailed picture of their overall health and unique needs.
From this, a comprehensive treatment plan is created that not only addresses the presenting medical complaint, but also accounts for the root causes of the condition. She administers acupuncture supplemented with a variety of other integrative modalities, such as nutritional counseling and herbs and supplements to effectively treat a wide range of conditions that stem from physical, emotional and spiritual imbalances. She strongly believes in empowering her patients to take an active role in their own health by counseling them in diet, exercise and other lifestyle changes. By doing so, patients achieve effective and lasting results.
