Herbal Medicine

The system of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) uses herbal remedies for their curative and remedial characteristics. After performing a thorough medical history and physical assessment to identify the physiologic imbalances, the practitioner will prescribe an herb formula specifically designed for the individual. In some cases, this treatment is coordinated with the patients’ other healthcare providers so that contraindications with other treatments do not take place.

Therapeutic Massage

Massage therapy can be used with conventional medical treatment of illness and injury to alleviate pain and stress, aid in soft tissue healing, relaxation, muscle tightness, anxiety and tension. Various types of massage, such as deep tissue, myofascial release, and swedish, are used to restore the body’s natural restorative functioning.

Mind / Body Therapy

These programs address the stress component of physical illness to reduce and prevent symptoms. Learn self-care techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation, cognitive restructuring, and guided imagery.

Nutrition Counseling

Nutritional consultations assist individuals in achieving their optimal nutritional intake and can improve medical conditions. Private sessions offer clients an opportunity to discuss the unique demands placed on them by work and family which increases the difficulty in balancing food choices within a healthy framework.
