PHILOSOPHY

Healing Philosophy

I am dedicated to helping you find practical solutions to your health challenges!

I practice Classical Chinese Medicine, which is a full system of medicine that has been shared, 

documented and refined for nearly 5000 years. 

Experiencing this medicine has been a completely life-changing experience and I am dedicated to sharing my knowledge, time and experience with you, so you can experience these benefits.

I am a graduate of Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts in Asheville, NC. I am blessed to have been educated by many amazing and experienced practitioners such as acupuncturists, herbalists, chiropractors, medical doctors, psychologists, 

counselors and professional researchers.

I entered the world of medicine on the ground level. Since age 19, I've been an Emergency Medical Technician for the US Navy and Charleston County EMS, a Battlefield Medic with the US Marines, and an Intensive Care Nurse, where I helped stabilize patients after open heart surgery and heart transplantations. I have firsthand experience seeing both the strenghts and weaknesses inherent in modern and ancient medicines.

Classical Chinese Medicine

All of my experiences in medicine have led me to develop a deep conviction and confidence in the ancient Chinese Medicine perspective. It is safe, effective, non-toxic and honors the body's ability to heal with the right kind of assistance. I have witnessed many conditions that treated that were otherwise relegated to only being manageable, rather that treatable. When I inform a patient that their patterns and conditions are treatable by natural and non-pharmacological means, I am confident in that assessment. The amount of work and time needed varies between each person and condition. If a patient needs to see a specialist or another type of practitioner, I am ready to help make that happen as well.

Classical Chinese Medicine is a complete system of 

medicine that has been shared, documented and refined for 5000 years. It's more popular now than ever here in the West for good reason. It's safe, practical and logical.

 

Practicing and recieving this medicine is a completely life-changing experience. I am dedicated to sharing this knowledge and paradigm with you, so you can experience these benefits, reduce pain and suffering and raise the bar on your health and wellness goals.

My experiences on ambulances, battlefield medicine and open heart surgery recovery inform my approach to each case.

 

I learned so much while working with Medical Doctors for decades in Emergency Care and Critical Care. We treated the most complex patients in the community as a team. Because of this, I can offer you an honest take on your medical options from both Eastern and Western Medicine perspectives.

My promise is to present an honest review of your treatment options so you can make informed decisions on your care-plan  Sometimes Eastern Medicine can play the lead role and sometimes we play a supporting role.

As Acupuncturists in the modern era, we are routinely replicating treatments from eras like 650 AD, while offering successful herbal formulas from 1100 AD to meet the challenges of modern life. We incorporate Modern understandings of medicine, while also holding true to visions of health and healing that have no modern equivalent. What a powerful way to honor our human ancestors, to continue their work into the future.

 

Humans are built to adapt and the medicine has adapted to every era in our history. The recent adoption of Eastern Medicine techniques by modern medicine is a testimony to its power and effectiveness. From needling, cupping, herbal therapies and mindfulness, to the classical understanding of Epigenetics, eastern techniques and theories are becoming mainstream.

We are trained in root-pattern recognition and diagnosis. Our goal is to treat multiple issues at once by getting to their common root, saving you time and money in the long run.

 

Treating Body, Mind and Spirit is key to producing  lasting changes.

Cupping & Gua Sha

Some of the many adjunct techniques taught to Chinese Medicine practitioners, these tools are used along-side our other skills in order to compliment our treatments and improve 

outcomes.

Both Gua Sha and Cupping increase blood flow into blocked and stagnant tissues, allowing the body to begin repair work and flush out toxins and metabolic wastes. The result being that soft tissue becomes more elastic and pliable.
