What makes Five Element Acupuncture different?

Here is why I specifically chose to study Five Element Acupuncture, which is a small but powerful niche within the field of acupuncture:

• It is thought to be one the oldest forms of acupuncture, from the Han Dynasty and emphasizes the connection between nature; the 5 Elements (or 5 seasons) and human nature.

• We always treat the whole person. So, if you come in for pain, we will still ask you questions about who you are, your life history, diet, hopes, fears, family and much more. Some forms of acupuncture have become more allopathic, treating individual symptoms, and placing less emphasis on the spirit.

• The medicine focuses on treating the mind, body and spirit. We find that when we treat the spirit, countless symptoms drop away and wellness becomes the norm.

• Each of us has one element (associated with a season & pair of organs & meridians) that tend to get knocked out of balance. 5E is designed to help balance and build up that more vulnerable element for you. All connected systems tend to respond. 

• 5E excels in treating mental and emotional health. One of the most common things I hear in my practice is “I feel like myself again.” 

• It is so nourishing, and has totally changed my life. I honestly don’t know how I went without it, and it is essential in my own wellness routine. 

If it sounds like a good fit, let’s talk. I'd be honored and excited to share this medicine with you!  If you want more info, I’m offering free 15 min consultations.
