Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine
According to traditional Asian theory, great health is achieved when energy is allowed to flow freely throughout the body. This essential energy is called qi (chee) and allows the body to perform it's everyday functions such as walking, talking, thinking, breathing, dreaming, etc.. Everyday we face a variety of stresses that affect our minds and bodies, contributing to the blockage of qi, thus creating imbalances that result in stress and discomfort.
Traditional Chinese Medicine offers natural, healthy solutions for relief from pain, discomfort and stress using a variety of traditional techniques. These include not only acupuncture, and herbal therapy, but dietary and lifestyle recommendations as well. This medicine looks at the patient in it's entirety and focuses on treating not only the current symptoms, but also the underlying root problem in order to try and prevent a reoccurrence. The goal of the medicine is to help the body heal itself by adjusting the imbalances within, and empowering you, the patient to play an active role in your recovery and future health.
Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine can be extremely valuable in treating acute as well as chronic conditions. Please explore this site to learn more about treatment modalities and commonly treated disorders.

A Little Note:
*Currently we are not in practice as explained below but keep in touch we do plan to open again*
The decision to leave my practice was a bitter-sweet one for me, on one hand I had to give up my practice and leave all of you and on the other hand I have the opportunity to travel together as a family and spend the rest of our time at our home in England, which I couldn’t be happier about.
A lot of you have been asking me if and when I will be returning to America. I can tell you this, I do still plan on practicing Acupuncture in the future but for the moment we are living day by day and just enjoying our time together. I will be updating my website often, so feel free to check in every once in awhile to see where we are and what we are up to. As always if there is any questions or concerns you might have or if you just want to say hi, I can be reached at my e-mail address below.
Remember to take care of yourselves. Always take time out to breathe and be thankful for all the things around you. I wish all of you the best and great health. Hope to see you all again.
Thank you all so much,
Kristie
