Practice Information

At Herbs and Healing we are committed to helping you get and stay healthy in the quickest time possible. We provide the highest quality acupuncture/acupressure, customized herbal treatment and Chinese dietary therapy/nutritional counseling. We care deeply about our patients and realize that the path to wellness can sometimes be challenging, both physically and emotionally. We provide a safe, comfortable and professional office environment where each patient is a valued individual. Most people think of Chinese medicine as acupuncture alone, but it actually consists of a number of modalities including Acupuncture, Herbology, Dietary Therapy, Medical Massage, Qi Gong (an ancient Chinese meditative practice) and Tai Qi (a gentle martial art that’s good for your health). Our team of specialists works with patients to develop an individualized holistic plan that’s best for each situation. Chinese medicine is amazingly adaptable and can be easily and safely integrated with western or other complementary therapies.
