Acupuncture treatments can engage directly with local tissues or be used to affect change on a more systemic basis. My treatments often combine these two concepts and may involve methods from various styles of acupuncture. When appropriate I use electro acupuncture and may employ additional therapies including herbs, shiatsu bodywork, traction, cupping, moxa, and guasha. My treatments are tailored to the needs of the patient at the time they are assessed.
