"As a stroke survivor of 8 years I decided to add acupuncture to my physical therapy routine. In doing so I have found that the discomfort on the affected part of my body has noticeably decreased. I now have greater mobility after each session. In addition I have received the benefit of stress relief and sleep more comfortably and feel more energized in the morning."

Mending the Body ~
Going beneath the symptoms

TCM has proved effective at treating a wide range of physical ailments ~ from frozen shoulder and gastrointestinal disorders to migraines and lower back pains. But often what is "cured" is not simply the identified symptom, but the deeper root cause that created it in the first place

Mending the Mind ~
Creating an inner sense of peace

As our lives speed up, there seems a growing need to slow down. Insomnia, anxiety and depression are variations on a common theme being imprisoned by our own thoughts, either by what they say or by their sheer unending "busy-ness". TCM can help us to be more fully present, and to guide us to a forgotten inner stillness

Mending the Spirit ~
Reconnecting with what we most need

Many of us know there are things that we say can and do "lift our spirits", reconnect with what inspires and motivates us, and dwarfs our problems in an instant. This is at the very heart of healing - to reconnect with who we are, and re-establish a direction for our lives. This is another area where TCM can support us, and where we can start to be our own greatest healers
