My Approach

The practice is not only about diagnosing and treating dis-ease, but also supporting the body in its infinitely intelligent function and ability to preserve life. The body does not make mistakes, and is ultimately doing the best it can with the inputs we give it: food, thoughts and beliefs, habits, environments, relationships and experiences.

Depending on a person's capacity, (emotional, physical and practical) when the body encounters a pathogen (whether a virus or a traumatic experience), the body decides whether it can express, detoxify, clear, and resolve the pathology, or if it needs to lock it away in latency - storing it in the body so it is out of the general circulation and not continuing to create inflammation. 

If and when we are better resourced, the body will resolve, process or clear the pathology. Trusting this incredibly intelligent system, we do not push the body to clear something it has strategically locked away out of circulation; if it had the capacity to clear it, it would. This applies to both pathogens such as viruses or heavy metals, or traumatic events and emotional trauma. Instead, we focus on building the body’s resources, restoring health, and processing whatever is emerging in the present moment.

Perhaps we know what it is we need to do to feel better or move forward, but we feel stuck. Often, it is our core unconscious beliefs that form how we see the world and how we interact with it. The power of Acupuncture extends far beyond resolving physical pain or organ function. We can use the channels to resolve these limiting beliefs or resistances to change,  so that we increase our capacity to meet life's inevitable challenges with grace. When we are more resourced to work through our own resistances, we have more capacity to change, grow, heal and evolve. It is a blessing to share this practice and bear witness to others’ expansion and increasing freedom.
