Acupuncture is the insertion of needles into certain acupuncture points on the body. Acupuncture needles are very small/fine. (These are nothing like the needles used for injections.) Needles are single use and sterile. Different acupuncture points have different “energetics” meaning they will do different things.
Acupuncture can be utilized for many conditions including pain, inflammation, allergies, digestive issues, anxiety, depression, menstrual and sleep disorders. Acupuncture brings balance back to the body and allows energy to flow smoothly. Physiologically, acupuncture can increase blood flow, decrease inflammation and improper immune responses. Acupuncture can be very helpful with conditions that are not well understood by Western medicine because acupuncture systems involve looking at the entire body.
Healing is not something that happens to you. It is what you do for yourSelf. Many tools must be utilized in order to maintain health and wellness including: Diet, Exercise, and Mental Health Support. Acupuncture can help to ease many symptoms and bring the body back into balance, but other areas of healing must also be addressed to maintain long term health and healing. Acupuncture sessions are a safe and supportive spaces to guide you back to health. No one wlll know your body better than you. Nothing is more powerful than being your own ally and treating yourself with care and compassion.
Doctor of Oriental Medicine
Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine from Southwest Acupuncture College, Santa Fe, NM. Certified by NCCAOM and licensed by the state of New Mexico. AAC approved certification in Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation.
Before studying Chinese medicine, I studied Biology and worked in a hospital pharmacy. I soon realized that the Western medical/pharmaceutical driven approach to treating patients was not the right path for me. I look forward to bringing Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine to Albuquerque, Rio Rancho and surrounding areas, to those looking for a holistic way to support their health and wellbeing.
