Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient medical technology paving the way for the future of healthcare due to its wide applications and effectiveness.

Below are the most important things to know about acupuncture.

1. Acupuncture is a comprehensive medical system that has the ability to support ALL physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual imbalances. Acupuncture is very effective at treating physical pain AND it’s also amazing for hundreds of other conditions from mental regulation and gastrointestinal issues to even the common cold!  For a full list of disorders for which acupuncture has been proven to be an effective, scroll below.

2. Acupuncture treatments are like a counseling session with a nap. The experience of acupuncture begins with a medical professional listening to you and examining you. During the treatment, the body is induced into a parasympathetic state where most clients fall asleep for 20-30-minutes. The sensation of the needles is minimal but the energy shift is significant.

3. An acupuncturist is an expert diagnostician.  Chinese medicine doctors are experts at diagnosing and treating disease by observation. Acupuncturists diagnose experientially by asking pointed questions, feeling the pulse, looking at the tongue, and palpating the body. After this detective work, the acupuncturist can surmise which specific acupuncture points, herbs, supplements, and lifestyle changes will make permanent shifts in a client’s physiology. In California, 4 years of full-time study (equivalent to 3000+ hours) in a Master’s or Doctoral program is the minimum requirement to practice acupuncture.  Across the U.S., a minimum of 3 years of full-time study is standard. 

4. Acupuncture should be done frequently over a long period of time for maximum efficacy. Rarely will one acupuncture treatment resolve a long-standing issue (though it is not unheard of!) Acupuncture should be likened to being on a diet or working out. Especially with chronic conditions, twice-weekly acupuncture is recommended to start for several weeks, then tapered off as the condition improves. Healthy clients are encouraged to come in monthly for maintenance. Commitment and consistency is the key to making and keeping permanent shifts with Chinese Medicine interventions.

What distinguishes me from other acupuncturists is my focus on the chakra system as a diagnostic and healing tool for physical and metaphysical ailments. My thoroughness and highly analytical nature makes me specially equipped to find the root of even the most difficult cases.

Ever since I began my studies as an acupuncturist in 2016, I knew that I wanted to dedicate my life to working with the Human Energy Field (HEF) and the Hindu Chakra System because it lights me up more than anything! Becoming a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine would allow me to become a lifelong esoteric scholar, so I could help as many people as possible all the while studying the HEF within a professional medical career.

Esoteric Acupuncture in the style of Mikio Sankey is my favorite niche of acupuncture because it combines traditional Chinese acupuncture theory, the Hindu Chakra System, Sacred Geometry, and the Qabbalistic Tree of Life to focus on the spiritual context of the HEF. Rather than treating symptoms of dis-ease, it is designed to “enhance wellness,” to balance the chakras “creating a more harmonious frequency within our energy field,” and “to establish a strong and harmonious connection with higher spiritual realms” (Sankey, 1999).

Though I love practicing the pioneering Esoteric Acupuncture and NERW the most, Traditional Chinese Medicine is my foundation first and foremost. This all to say, if you want the spiritual/etheric aspect in your treatment, I’ve got that covered! If you’re not into that, I’m also naturally adept at “getting in there” and relieving symptoms for the long term. I’ve got an exceptional bedside manner that will put you right at ease to meet you exactly where you are.
