-How I Practice-
I offer a holistic approach to health care. My Extraordinary Wellness healthcare services may include Acupuncture, Therapeutic Massage and/or Bodywork, and Nutritional as well as Herbal Medicine recommendations. I use Customized Massage and Bodywork Therapies to treat many health issues including structural issues and pain resolution/ management. Acupuncture is used to treat a number of symptoms. You can find these listed by the World Health organization (WHO). Health maintenance is a key factor to Extraordinary Wellness. I improve your overall health by working on your energy, endurance and immunity. I can treat your symptoms but I also look for the root cause of your health problems. This is common practice in my profession. Disease Prevention as well as immune system enhancement, health maintenance and life extension are an important part of my practice. It is my experience that those I have seen regularly for many years enjoy better overall health.
Your constitution, emotional health, nutritional obstacles and lifestyle issues are all important factors in our choice of treatment. One treatment does not fit all. Every person I see has individual needs. We talk about your needs at length and then agree on a course of treatment. It is a patient centered approach to treatment. I have extensive background in bodywork therapies as well as Massage Therapy techniques. This experience has resulted in my own unique blend of effective Bodywork techniques. These techniques along with a strong background in Biomedical studies and Asian Medicine allow me to create customized therapeutic treatments that meet your specific health needs and blend the best of my Eastern and Western knowledge.
-Philosophy-
Extraordinary Health is a key component to feeling that one’s life is both successful and satisfying. Good Health is an ongoing process of self discovery, an integration of physical, mental, spiritual and environmental well being. I believe that your personal good health manifests a positive influence on the world. I assist my clients on their personal journey to their own optimal state of health. And if you already enjoy good health I will help you to maintain it. I provide a safe, comfortable and relaxing atmosphere for healing.
