What could you achieve with a healthy body?

I’m a generalist with a few important specialties. Mostly I love the complex, wild card cases. The weirder and more complex the better. If you have been unsuccessful with numerous practitioners I encourage you to give me a try. I have more time available to dive into each case and look for patterns others may have missed.

I’ve been a women’s health practitioner for years with the very important specialty of postnatal care. My practice is first and foremost designed to treat exhausted, depleted mothers of any age. Postpartum care lasts as long as a woman is a mother. Sometimes even peri-menopause or post-menopause care is about issues from giving birth.

But in the last few years I have accepted more and more men into my practice. I work with people who are hungry for dramatic change in their lives. People who believe in personal responsibility and ongoing self-care. If you are a pill popper and want someone to magically make things better, I’m probably not your practitioner. But if you want to be involved, fully understand your diagnosis and be the intentional advocate and expert in your ongoing health than we will work well together.

My other specialties include: post concussion syndrome, migraines, acute/chronic pain, severe and mild insomnia, menstrual issues, vertigo and digestive disorders.

I see one patient at a time and do a large amount of education in the early appointments. Often early appointments range from 75 minutes to 2 hours, with multiple long appointments only days apart in the beginning. Maintenance appointments range from 60-75 minutes.

I am available every moment of the appointment to answer questions, dive deep into a specific concept that is confusing you or spend an entire session troubleshooting and brainstorming if we hit a plateau. Every appointment I am here 100% to improve your health. I’m not someone who puts needles in and then moves on to the next patient. If we need to spend the entire session on the yoga mat or reviewing diet I have the time and availability and know that educating you leads to a lifetime of your self-care.

It is important to think of the work I do as a mini retreat. A once in a lifetime reboot. There will be life before you took control of your health and after an entirely a different life. I’m not interested in getting you to a point where you can function. If that is your goal, I will probably not accept you into my practice. I aim to dramatically transport your current health to a place it has never been before. What would you be capable of completing with vibrant, sustainable health? How much is ease, energy and clarity of mind worth to you? Are you ready to work hard to reach it?

I’m not the least expensive practitioner out there, in fact my prices are some of the highest in the area. If you are looking for the most inexpensive rates or something covered by insurance I am not your practitioner. But my rates are such that you will most likely end up saving money in the long run because the recovery is so fast and so complete. I take people to 100% health in a very short amount of time. My transformative process starts with bursts of frequent appointments at the beginning so that you don’t feel confused about progress and direction. You will understand every step of the process, why we are doing it and how long it will take to get to the next stage.

The work I do doesn’t interface with insurance so I do not accept it. However I do accept credit cards from flex spending accounts or health savings accounts. As well as cash, check, and all credit cards.

I am comfortable working with patients who self-bill insurance, especially after car accidents. Most post-car accident auto insurance is 100% coverage for the entire course of the treatment. If you do all the direct communication and paperwork, I will provide receipts and treatment notes. Post car accident recovery with acupuncture and herbs can halve or quarter the length of recovery. Remember that any abrupt stop, whether there is collision of the head or not is a concussion and whiplash. That combo can lead to a lifetime of chronic pain if left untreated.

My approach to acupuncture is the through the lens of an advanced level yoga teacher. I have more anatomy awareness and embodiment than most acupuncturists. I’m also a highly successful and knowledgeable herbalist and utilize herbs in 90% of my practice. Sometimes acupuncture alone won’t work.

You should try my strategy if any of the following applies to your past experience:

• you only went a handful of times
• you didn’t use herbs
• you were not given lifestyle, movement or dietary suggestions for your health concern
• you didn’t understand how you were being treated
