Acupuncture, is part of a complete system of medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM, has been in use for thousands of years to help maintain health and longevity. Acupuncture is the use of very thin sterile stainless steel needles, inserted at specific points, known as Acupoints on the body to increase the flow of blood and energy in the body in order to promote health. Here you will find natural and effective, safe and drug free treatments and modalities. Free your body of pain and maintain or regain balance, gain control of your health. Acupuncture Physicians in the state of Florida are Primary Health Care Providers.

  The first thing we do when we or our loved one’s have pain is to touch it and try to make it feel better hence this is where massage was born. Herbs and foods we eat have different effects on the body; this is where herbalism and nutrition come in. From bruising and pain it has been realized that there are places or points throughout the body that when pressed or stimulated with enough pressure can help  improve blood flow and help heal.    This is where acupuncture was discovered.

When the chi is stuck, or blocked it does not flow  correctly through the channels or meridians that run throughout the body. The blood flows with the chi, therefore when the blood is not flowing correctly many times we have pain or bruising.

Acupuncture helps restore balance to the body, through moving the body’s energy or chi, (electric impulses). When there is an injury or the body’s energy is stuck i.e.: bruising, or internal disorders, with the use of different therapies this energy can move and aid in the healing process. Needle less acupuncture is done with low level electric impulses that can be used in place of needles. It is a very effective treatment when done correctly.

Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) and Holistic Medicine we can restore your body to balance for your optimal health.

How many acupuncture treatments do you need?
Acupuncture is a process. It is very rare that a problem can be resolved in one treatment. In China, a typical protocol for any chronic condition is acupuncture every other day for three months. Most of my patients don’t need that many treatments, but virtually everyone requires a course of treatment in order to get what they want from acupuncture.On your first visit, I will suggest a course of treatment, which can be anything from “I’d like to see you once a week for six weeks” to “I’d really like to see you every day for the next four days.” This suggestion is based on my experience with treating your particular condition. If you don’t come in often enough or long enough, you may not achieve the full benefits. If you have questions about how long it will take to see results, please ask me.

Here is what I recommend for frequency of treatments:
If your pain is a 10 out of 10, or the most intense pain you've ever felt, come in daily until we see some changes.
If your pain is a 5 out of 10 or over, most likely two to three times a week.
If your pain is a 4 or less, come in once or twice a week.
Chronic issues that are not severe, once a week for 6-8 weeks and then I will re-evaluate.
Really long term chronic issues, once a week for ten weeks or twice a week for 5 weeks.
When your health concerns have subsided you can return once a month for maintenance.

I offer different course of treatment options for payment on the Fees page.

Hypnosis, A Holistic approach to reach the subconscious mind to help adapt to positive thoughts and behavior. Helps with fears, phobias, and addiction by reinforcing positiveness and patterns. Hypnosis, also referred to as hypnotherapy or hypnotic suggestion, is a trance-like state in which you have heightened focus and concentration. Hypnosis is usually done with the help of a therapist using verbal repetition and mental images.

All Hypnosis is self hypnosis. It is similar to guided meditation.

When you're in a hypnotic state, you usually feel calm and relaxed, and are more open to suggestions. Hypnosis can be used to help you gain control over undesired behaviors or to help you cope better with anxiety or pain. It's important to know that although you're more open to suggestion during hypnosis, you are in complete control of your behavior.

~Phobias/Habits, fears, and anxiety
~Hypnosis for Adults & Children
~Stress
~Depression
~Sleep disorders

~Mind & Emotional Hypnosis
~Metaphysical/Past Life Regression
~Self Hypnosis
~Post-trauma anxiety
~Smoking Cessation
~Grief, loss and Divorce
~Hypnosis for Children
~Weight Control

   With Hypnosis we can help you overcome fears, phobias,(public speaking, driving, flying) addictions and also to enhance your natural abilities and improve your lifestyle (golf, swimming, focus)

How many Hypnosis sessions do you need?
That really depends on the individual. Hypnosis helps to introduce or reinforce ideas into the subconscious. This may take only a few sessions or longer. In my experience in general, we usually experience changes in about 3 to 6 sessions some may take longer for example weight loss takes more time to have a lasting effect. Where as quitting smoking may not take so long. Once you reach your desired results you may want to return periodically to help maintain and reinforce it.

I offer different course of treatment options for payment on the Fees page.

Reiki The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

With Reiki we can align your chakras and body's energy to facilitate your own natural healing process.

  Yoga is not just a workout or fitness program, but it is a holistic, spiritual and ascetic discipline, a practice, a journey that brings your mind, body and soul together as one, after all the word Yoga comes from YUJ - which means to unite. This union takes us on a journey inwards, into ourselves creating an indescribable awareness, mindfulness and discipline that can only be experienced. A part of which, includes breath control, known as Pranayama, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures, known as Asanas, it is widely practiced for health benefits and relaxation.

  Yoga is known to reduce stress to a great extent, also Yoga is used as therapy in various ailments, and conditions which includes, Depression, Anxiety, fatigue, Cancer, Diabetes, Blood Pressure, Respiratory problems and various physical ailments such as back, neck and physical pain, thyroid and metabolic issues, etc.

Yoga is being introduced into fitness programs for sports persons, senior programs, in school where children benefit from the awareness, focus and concentration it brings in and helps them to achieve more in today's fast paced society.

I offer one on one and small group sessions. Theses sessions are therapeutically based depending on your needs in relation to proper form and breath. Through Yoga, breath and a healthy lifestyle you will maintain your optimal health and flexibility.

Blood and saliva testing.
We use only Alcat testing. The most thorough and complete testing for allergies, mold, environmental toxins, Gut health, Adrenal and Vitamin D deficiencies. Testing for over 320 pathogens.

The Alcat test identifies foods, chemicals, molds, additives, and other antigens which stimulate a cellular response in peripheral
blood leukocytes. Alcat has been used to individualize the diets of patients with a diverse range of medical conditions. Clinical research

demonstrates that the Alcat test identifies items that result in release of inflammatory markers and activation of innate immune cells. If you have chronic inflammation with GI complaints, Autoimmune disorders, migraines, fatigue, joint pain, difficulty losing weight, skin issues, to name a few, following an Alcat patient specific rotation diet may offer relief to the point of total remission of symptoms.

Acupuncture: 5 Common Misconceptions Explained

1. It’s just for pain, right?
Well, not really. Acupuncture is used for thousands of conditions and is also used in hospitals in conjunction with Western medicine.
Acupuncture can treat anything from anxiety, allergies, infertility issues, pain of any sort, even to induce labor.
2. Does acupuncture only works if you believe in it.
Not true. Whether you believe in it or not acupuncture will help you. There are numerous medical studies worldwide to prove this.
3. Does acupuncture hurt?
Many people worry that acupuncture is going to hurt. Acupuncture needles are the diameter of a hair, solid and flexible. Acupuncture points are typically in painless locations.
An acupuncture needle is inserted quickly through the skin's surface until you feel tingling, warmth or pressure in the area of the needle. After a few minutes, these sensations fade away and you are left with a feeling of heaviness and deep relaxation.
During your acupuncture treatment if it hurts or is uncomfortable be sure to inform your acupuncturist right away so he or she can adjust or remove the needles.
4. Do you put medicine on the needles?
No. Acupuncture works with the use of specific points, not because the needles have medication on them.
5. What is a typical appointment like?
You will be asked many questions by the acupuncturist. This is because acupuncture treats the whole system, not just the symptoms bothering you. It works in healing the root of the problem. Next, you will lie down and the acupuncturist will begin inserting the needles. You’ll want to wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing for this. At this time, you will rest for 20-40 minutes with the needles in place. During this time the acupuncturist will check in on you from time to time to make sure you are comfortable and everything is going well. Afterwards, the acupuncturist will remove the needles and discusse with you how your overall treatment plan. In most cases, acute problems take 2-4 visits while chronic problems can take 4-12; your acupuncturist will discuss this with you.

Please print out the forms and bring them with you to your appointment.
