Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine
My Integrative Approach to Root-Cause Healing
At 4 Winds Medicine, I don’t offer acupuncture as a quick fix or standalone service. Instead, I practice it as it was meant to be—within the full framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
For thousands of years, Chinese medicine has focused on restoring balance, correcting underlying patterns, and strengthening the body’s natural ability to heal.
While Western medicine often treats symptoms, I look deeper—into patterns of Qi (vital energy), Blood, Yin/Yang, Organ systems, and meridian pathways—to discover why your symptoms are occurring in the first place. Through acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, and lifestyle therapy, my intention is to guide your body back into harmony and resilience.
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture involves the gentle insertion of ultra-fine, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points along the body’s meridians. These points are carefully chosen to create therapeutic change by helping to:
✔ Increase circulation and microcirculation
✔ Regulate nerve function and neurochemical signaling
✔ Activate natural anti-inflammatory and pain-relief pathways
✔ Harmonize the movement of Qi and Blood
✔ Support the body’s innate healing intelligence
In Florida, Licensed Acupuncture Physicians are recognized as Primary Health Care Providers, allowing me to be your first point of contact for both acute and chronic conditions.
My Techniques & Modalities
Every treatment plan is customized. I select techniques based on your comfort, constitution, and goals:

My Techniques & Modalities
Every treatment plan is customized. I select techniques based on your comfort, constitution, and goals:

| Auricular / Ear Acupuncture & Ear Seeds | Stimulating ear points with seeds or beads | Stress, addiction, cravings, pain regulation |
| Acupoint Injection Therapy (Biopuncture) | Natural substances injected into acupoints | Combines acupuncture with therapeutic substances |
| Cupping & Suction Therapy | Glass, silicone, or plastic cups for suction | Muscle tension, stagnation, fascia release |
| Moxibustion & Heat Therapy | Warming therapy with mugwort or heat | Cold conditions, fatigue, chronic deficiency |

Your First Visit – What to Expect
1️⃣ Comprehensive Intake & Assessment
I take time to deeply understand your story, health history, lifestyle, diet, sleep, emotions, and more. Tongue and pulse diagnosis help reveal your internal pattern.
2️⃣ Pattern Diagnosis & Treatment Plan
I translate your symptoms into TCM patterns (e.g., Liver Qi Stagnation, Spleen Qi Deficiency with Dampness) and create a personalized plan.
3️⃣ Acupuncture / Healing Session
You’ll rest comfortably while acupuncture or alternate modalities are applied. Most patients feel calm warmth, tingling, a gentle release—or deep relaxation.
4️⃣ Herbal, Nutritional & Lifestyle Support
When appropriate, I may recommend Chinese herbal formulas, supplements, dietary shifts, breathwork, or self-care practices to extend healing beyond the clinic.
5️⃣ Follow-Up & Progression
Treatments evolve as your body responds. We move from acute relief → stabilization → prevention and long-term wellness.
