Chronic stress can profoundly impact the functioning of the body and rob us of peace and vitality. This is why reducing stress is the foundation of all of my treatments. Much of the stress we experience is self-created. It is rooted in outdated strategies that were originally designed to keep us safe and help us feel loved. Strategies like an overactive inner critic, numbing, perfectionism, striving, worrying and anxiety don't actually make us safer and need to be updated with strategies that truly meet our needs.
​
Stress relief starts with understanding how and why you create stress on top of the inevitable challenges of life. Deeper awareness allows understanding; with understanding comes the ability to change your perspective, and changing perspective changes everything! Allow me to be your guide through the process of learning to identify stressors, reduce unnecessary stress, and reconnect with your inner resilience. Explore how the Five Elements can support your journey below.
Five Element Acupuncture
Five Element Acupuncture is based on the ancient Taoist principle that human beings are an expression of nature. Like all expressions of nature each of us has certain traits, gifts, and limitations. With nature as our guide, we are able to learn about our own elemental nature and how best to support ourselves to create a more fulfilling life.
The Five Element model is an amazing tool for spiritual growth! If you have tried to become more present using meditation or yoga, yet the quest to turn off your mind eludes you, then this is the place for you. Most people try to become present by making an enemy of the mind and trying to avoid “negative” emotions through “positive” thinking. Acupuncture can help you access deep states of present awareness that cannot be lost even in the midst of difficult emotions or negative thoughts.
The Elements
The traits of Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal expressed within you offer keys to understanding your unique capacity to flourish and share your gifts with the world. Through the challenges you face, your strengths become clear.
Water
In imbalance, Water may become paralyzed by fear. In health, it transforms into profound wisdom and strength of will.
Wood
In imbalance, Wood may become stuck in anger. In health, it transforms into a visionary with tenacity and purpose.
Fire
In imbalance, Fire may become scattered and disconnected. In health, it transforms into an authentic self who shares joyful connection with others.
Earth
In imbalance, Earth may become consumed by worry or excessive caretaking. In health, it transforms into a fully nourished “mother” energy that teaches us all how to nourish ourselves.
Metal
In imbalance, Metal may become overwhelmed by grief. In health, it transforms into unconditional acceptance and the ability to deeply appreciate life’s beauty.
Chinese Herbal Medicine and Nutrition
Chronic stress, including nutritional excess and deficiencies, can drastically change the way the body functions. Sometimes diet changes or herbal remedies are needed to help support the body in healing itself. I formulate custom, high quality herbal formulas as an invaluable tool in restoring balance to the body.
Herbal formulas have been used for thousands of years to treat almost any condition. They are particularly well suited for digestive issues, hormonal and menopausal issues, as well as stress, anxiety and depression.
