Use acupuncture to improve your health and wellbeing

Do you wish for something to be different in your world?

Acupuncture is used when there is a crisis or as preventative medicine to help with the changes and stresses of life. It is a great tool for helping with every ailment known to man, because our bodies are meant to heal. The body, mind and spirit are capable of healing themselves in a greater capacity than anyone can fully understand.
Acupuncture is about the qi, or energy that exists throughout our body; changing the energy with the needles creates a new possibility. Every session is an opportunity.

My Story

"I wanted to be many things growing up - a writer, an actor, a vet. Then in high school, I became very ill for a long time. I was taken to many different doctors and specialists and experienced a wide range of alternative therapies to solve my mysterious ailment. Eventually my "problem" was diagnosed as an MSG allergy, and with the return of health came the return of normalcy. As I waded through the remainder of high school I was asked, "What college are you going to? What do you want to be?" The truth was I had no idea.

After a couple of years of searching I began a program based on herbal healing in a modern world at the Rocky Mountain Center for Botanical Studies. I was hooked by the simplicity and gentle nature of the herbal remedies that had been around for hundreds of years. I completed the 3 year clinical program in 2002. While I enjoyed working with the herbs, I felt like there was a piece missing. While talking to a faculty member at RMCBS I was turned on to Classical Five-Element Acupuncture. After receiving treatment for 2 years I knew I had found my missing piece.

In 2007, I began the program at the Institute of Taoist Education and Acupuncture for a Masters in Acupuncture. In 2013 I graduated and began my practice. Since practicing I have been awed and humbled by what my clients achieve with the aid of acupuncture."

Acupuncture and Cupping

Acupuncture

Classical Five-Element Acupuncture is based on the observations of nature. The ancient Chinese developed their entire medical system based on these observations. Looking to nature you can see when there is a water imbalance; too much water and there is flooding or too little and there is a drought. In the natural order of things our body, mind, and spirit are fully capable of healing. What I look for when we meet is where the imbalance is within.

We are working with the 12 Meridians, think of them like energetic pathways, that have access points that I needle to bring balance back to the system. The points are used to effect change in the body by accessing the Qi. Qi is the equivalent of life force or energy found within the body. Imbalance or deficiency of Qi is what can cause disharmony. When we go to the doctor with a complaint, for example high blood pressure, the doctor will ask questions, ask about your lifestyle (nutrition, exercise), and then most likely prescribe a drug to lower your blood pressure. The way that acupuncture works is to look at the whole system to find the cause not the symptom. Why is your blood pressure high? What is the cause? Do you have a really stressful job that creates anxiety in your life? Acupuncture can't make the stressful job go away, but it can help with how you handle that stress. And suddenly your high blood pressure is going down.

Cupping

Cupping isn't just for the elite athletes. Around the world in indigenous cultures a form of cupping is found as home remedies. What people see is the circular "bruise" that is created. It is not a bruise. Under the surface of the skin lies the lymph system. It is our bodies sewage system to eliminate dead cells and other "trash". What the cup does is bring the congestion to that surface layer, so the body can get rid of it easier. If there isn't any congestion the cup will not leave a mark.

Cupping can help with poor circulation in an area, "it hurt's right here", asthma and Covid recovery for the lungs, lymph movement, scar reduction... the list goes on and on.

TESTIMONIALS

Our Client’s Expression

"I never thought getting poked with needles could be so relaxing, but somehow, it is!

Sarah is extremely professional and personable, and I enjoy my treatments with her. I would certainly recommend her to anyone new to acupuncture, like I was."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Several months into my first pregnancy, I was experiencing some pretty severe lower back pain, but obviously my options for pain management were limited. It was suggested I try acupuncture and Sarah came highly recommended by a colleague of mine. I came into the office fairly nervous since I wasn't sure what to expect or whether this type of practice would be for me. Sarah put me at ease very quickly with her positive attituded as well as her evident experience. The session turned out not only to be very relaxing but I was already experiencing pain relief after just one treatment. I now look forward to my treatments and plan to continue even after I deliver. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for effective acupuncture treatments in a comfortable and professional environment."

FAQS

What should I wear?

The points used most often are on your back, abdomen and chest. Women are able to leave their bra on for the treatment. Wearing pants that are loose enough to pull up over the knee is helpful. To help everyone feel comfortable there are gowns available.

Do the needles hurt?

The needles are as thin as a hair and are made of stainless steel. The needles are used once, then disposed of. Sensations occur when the qi is activated by the needle. The sensation from the needling action differs greatly from person to person and point locations on the body. For some people the points can be intense, for some barely any sensation at all.

What should I do before my appointment?

Make sure to eat at least a few hours before your appointment. Low blood sugar can be aggravated by acupuncture leading to feeling dizzy. Water is also key. Drinking water throughout the day to stay hydrated, helps the treatment to be more effective. Water is very important for allowing the body to detox anything released during the treatment.

What should I expect after my treatment?

Most people feel relaxed and calm when they leave the table. How we determine treatment regularity is dependent on how you feel when you leave the table and how long that feeling lasts after the appointment. It is helpful to note anything that seems out of the ordinary good or bad. For example, I felt the knot in my shoulder relax after the treatment but it only lasted 5 days. In this way we can work on extending the time period that the treatment lasts and when we can extend treatment out because the effects are holding.

Sometimes people don't feel great after a treatment. Because acupuncture works at a deep level it can stir up things that haven't occurred in a long time. It is like uncoiling a spring. This should not last very long. Some people feel the shift of treatment on the table. Some don't notice for a couple of days. Everyone has their own experience.
