If you live in the Tempe – Phoenix area, chances are you’ve found your way to this page because you’re tired of pain, fed up with weight loss, burned out by stress, or are just plain tired of being tired! (d. all of the above?) You’ve come to the right place. I can help. If you’re like most people, you probably don’t know too much about acupuncture treatments, and might have even thought about running away at the thought of needles somewhere on this page. No worries! Even the burliest ex-football player tattooed Marines tend to be nervous about this stuff, but let me be the first to put those fears to rest. Imagine this: a place where you can go that feels as cozy as your living room. You sit down and have a chat – I mean really talk about you: your devotion to your brilliant two-year old, your 3:00 chocolate cravings, that ridiculous knee pain that screams at you during bowling night , and your quest to find out where you left your energy. Mind and body, it’s all you – and it’s all related (you knew you weren’t crazy, right?) That’s the beauty of Chinese medicine. After your chat, you get to have the deepest, most amazing nap, blissfully drifting in a sea of tranquil music and warm heat therapy. If you closed your eyes, you were probably oblivious to those tiny needles that somehow magically rearranged everything in there and made you feel like things were just right in the world again. Seriously. It feels that easy. If you’re tired of conventional treatments (pills, surgery, injections) and conventional wisdom (“you’re getting older,” “it’s just arthritis,” “learn to live with it,”) give health another chance. You deserve it. I’ll try to make sense of it all for you here. I want to get to the core of your health issues and I know you do too. Using acupuncture, acupressure, natural herbal medicine and personal nutrition plans, we can optimize your body’s healing and help you reclaim your energy and well-being.
