Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used forms of medicine in the world. Originating in China more than 2,500 years ago, acupuncture is currently one of the most thoroughly researched, practiced, and respected forms of complementary medicine available anywhere.

According to TCM, your overall health is determined by the quality of the Qi (energy) flow through the natural pathways of your body (meridians). Acupuncture is the technique of placing very thin sterile needles into specific points on the body, to stimulate and improve the flow of Qi. The many benefits of acupuncture include:

• Pain reduction
• Stress and tension relief
• Increased energy levels
• Stronger digestion
• Relief from bad habits and addictions
• Greater sense of overall health and well-being

Auricular (Ear) Therapy

Auricular therapy (AT) is a TCM microsystem used to treat the body mapped on the ear. 

The Veterans Administration recognizes its value and uses AT to treat veterans experiencing PTSD. Beyond PTSD, other uses of AT include but are not limited to:

• Stress
• Anxiety
• Smoking cessation
• Weight loss
• Pain relief
• Digestive issues
• Sleep issues

The initial session (40 minutes) includes intake and the placement of earseeds on specific points on the ear, with instructions on how to stimulate the points. 

Follow-up session(s) are 15 minutes and include intake and earseed replacement with instructions. 

Sessions can be individual or in small groups.

Coaching

Coaching is a form of development where a coach supports a client in achieving specific goals by evoking awareness that affects change and providing training and guidance. I take an "East meets West" approach by integrating Five Element Theory, a TCM practice based on the five elements -  Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.  Although I'm the coach, you set the pace by determining the focus for each session. I facilitate by asking thought-provoking questions to raise your awareness and set goals for lasting change. Appointments are typically virtual.

Group coaching packages are also available.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, I work directly with your energy field to remove blockages, detoxify your system, and restore your vital life force energy. Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between us. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain.

Workplace Wellness

According to the American Institute of Stress, US employers experience $300B in losses due to absenteeism, low productivity, and accidents associated with stress, ~1M employees are absent from work per day, and 5 hours are lost weekly due to employees thinking about stressors (1). As an employer in today's climate, workplace wellness can provide an effective solution because employees learn ways to recognize and regulate stressors, thus making them more productive.

Employees will learn how to incorporate balance at work using self-care techniques. For instance, it is easy to implement techniques such as looking away from the computer screen after 45 minutes, moving away from their desk to stretch, or swapping out a go-to comfort snack with a healthier option.

Employers benefit through reduced healthcare costs, greater employee engagement, and reduced absenteeism.

Pricing varies depending on the solution designed for your workplace. Solutions may include one or more of the following:

• Weekly lunch and learn sessions
• 2 - 4 hour group training that includes a calming auricular therapy treatment
• 6-week individual or small group sessions
• Access to applicable apps
