Acupuncture

Acupuncture may be an ancient medical technology, but it is also paving the way for the future of healthcare due to its wide applications and effectiveness.

Below we myth-bust three of the most common misconceptions of acupuncture treatments.

1. It is only, or primarily, used to treat physical pain.  Acupuncture is an exceptionally elegant and comprehensive medical system that has the ability to support ALL physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual imbalances. For a full list of disorders for which acupuncture has been proven to be an effective treatment through controlled clinical trials, scroll below.

2. It may be unpleasant or even painful.  The experience of acupuncture begins with a medical professional listening to you and examining you with their full presence of being. During acupuncture, most clients fall into a restorative altered state and, often, fall asleep on the table. It is as true a luxury as an acquired taste for fine foods – a sensational delight, one to become acquainted with, until you find yourself anticipating each session with excitement, then leaving with a feeling of wanting more!

3. It is a standalone procedure requiring little physical or mental effort to perform. The treatment you experience is the tool, but it is the academic, analytical mind which holds the power and finesse to enact permanent change within your body’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 study the full medical canon required to practice acupuncture.  Across the U.S., a minimum of 3 years of full-time study is standard.

4. One treatment is sufficient to see if it works for a condition or person. All are ecstatic when a client’s longstanding condition is resolved miraculously after one acupuncture treatment, but that’s not the norm. Acupuncture takes time and space to re-regulate most long-standing imbalances. Like growing a plant from a seed, the right conditions can maximize the yield of your progression toward greater health and vitality.

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.
