Traditional Japanese Acupuncture is particularly suited to those who are uncomfortable with strong needle stimulus, who are fatigued or otherwise weakened. I have good success with all sorts of pain, with mental/emotional issues, neuroligic problems and sleep issues. I have successful experience with fertility treatment and in treating infants and children. I have taught at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, and in seminars sponsored by the Illinois Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. I offer a weekly qigong class at my office. When treating an acupuncture point, it is important that there be a sign of effectiveness; this is called the arrival of Qi. A classic description of the arrival of Qi is: "It is as though the wind has blown away the clouds, exposing a clear blue sky". This image conveys the benefit I aim for: a relief from oppression, a sense of clarity, a feeling of well-being. Something unusual: I am present and working with you during the entire treatment. You may well have a little snooze while I work, but I am focused entirely and only on you during our session.
