Japanese Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs
​​​
Acupuncture - needling of specific points to alleviate pain and to treat various physical, mental, and emotional conditions.
I use Kiiko Matsumoto inspired Japanese acupuncture which uses reflexes (painful or tight areas of the body) to determine the points selected and the underlying pattern of imbalance. ​​
​
Chinese Herbs - herbal formulas based on traditional formulas utilized for centuries for healing specific imbalances.
I use both capsuled formulations and granules which are modified special for each patient.
​
Cupping - therapy for increasing circulation which is commonly used for relaxing tight muscles
​
Moxa - burning of the herb mugwort for healing and rejuvenation of yang energy.

​
Japanese Acupuncture inspired by Kiiko Matsumoto - This style of acupuncture utilizes information from the body in the form of tight or tender areas which can be used to find the appropriate points and underlying pattern of imbalance. This system allows the practitioner to listen to the body through palpation in order to guide which points will be most effective for the patient's healing.
