Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Traditional Chinese medicine is based on principles of yin and yang, opposite in nature and yet complimentary in function, and are the basic elements present in every living organism. The flow of energy through meridians or energy channels through the body is normalized by accessing the energy flow at specific parts of the body with acupuncture. Tongue and pulse diagnosis, as well as Chinese organ systems and their related emotions, and environmental factors will all be considered in formulating an acupuncture protocol.
Botanical Medicine
Botanical medicine is the use of herbs to help the body to rebalance and heal. These herbs have nutrients, phytochemicals and specific energies that assist the body’s healing process. Herbs are chosen based on symptoms and what organ systems need to be supported.
Bowen Therapy
Bowen therapy is a gentle series of moves done on the body to help stimulate the body’s healing capacity to eliminate pain and bring the body back into structural alignment. Results are usually evident within a few sessions. This very safe therapy can be used on small children and the elderly.
Diet & Nutrition
A good diet is the foundation to a healthy body. Minor dietary changes may be given or specific diets may be prescribed based on the individual. Food allergies and intolerances will also be explored. Vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other nutritional supplements may be prescribed when there is a deficiency or are needed to aid the body’s vital functions.
Homeopathy
Homeopathic medicine is an energetic medicine originating in Europe in the 1700s, that stimulates the body’s vitality and self-healing properties, based on the principle of “like cures like”, or Law of Similars. Minute doses of plant, animal or mineral with properties similar to the disease state being experienced by the patient are given to cure that very same disease state. This system of medicine looks to mental emotional factors as well as physical symptoms when choosing an appropriate remedy. This is a treatment modality that is safe, gentle, and very effective.

Yoga literally means union. The physical practice of yoga brings body and mind together through specific poses and using breath to move in and out, hold, and get deeper into poses. Yoga is useful for physical health, loosening tight muscles and making them long and flexible. This allows energy to flow unimpeded throughout the body, as well as reducing stress and improving mood.
