What is TCM?

Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, is a form of healthcare that has been used for thousands of years to treat a variety of health conditions. It is a holistic approach that takes into account the whole person, and emphasizes the importance of preventing illness before it occurs, treating the root cause of illness rather than just the symptoms. Traditional Chinese Medicine includes Acupuncture, Cupping, Gua Sha, Moxibustion, Herbs, Nutrition and more. 

TCM is a natural and safe way to improve energy, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. I believe it can be a valuable addition to western medical treatments, or even used as an alternative to prescription medications. I am committed to providing safe and effective treatments to help you achieve your health and wellness goals.

What is Acupuncture?

According to Chinese Medicine, the body has many meridians running through it, where qi (chi), blood and other body fluids flow. In simple terms, your body can develop a blockage, an excess or a deficiency in these meridians due to several different causes ie. lifestyle, diet, or exposure to pathogens. You will start to see and/or feel symptoms indicating what is happening, and if ignored, these symptoms can become more serious.  Tiny acupuncture needles inserted at certain points on the meridians give the body a message to redirect the flow of the meridians.  The needles can be gently manipulated to send the body different messages. In short, acupuncture reminds your body that it can heal itself, and helps to get your body back on track to better health!
