Acupuncture is a holistic therapy that helps to strengthen the immune system, prevents disease by keeping the body in balance, and improves the quality of life. The function of acupuncture is to create a calm and healing atmosphere that promotes pathways to health, longevity and well being. By emphasizing the value of traditional Japanese and Chinese style acupuncture, I treat the root in order to create long term change.
Like acupressure, acupuncture involves the flow of energy in the body's pathways, referred to as meridians. Improved flow will keep the body in a more balanced state. This will improve or heal a variety of acute and chronic conditions and enhance overall health and vitality. I work with each patient focusing on the individual, realizing that each of us are uniquely affected by our environment, emotions, diet and lifestyle.

Growing up with a Japanese background, fermented foods were always served on our table. From a small child, I have always been a fan of natto, fermented soy beans (but to some it can be an acquired taste). When I would stay with my aunt in Mie prefecture, Japan, I remember watching her cutting up different vegetables and mixing together all the ingredients for tsukimono (pickled vegetables).

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese form of healing that has been used for 3,000 years. The main concept is energy life force qi (chi) which circulates throughout the body using pathways called meridians. Unbalances are created in life, from external or internal influences, which affects these meridians.
