My Mission
My mission is to put the care back into healthcare. This philosophy guides both my approach to health care in general and my approach to my acupuncture practice in particular. What I have to offer you:
- no hidden fees: no extra charge for traditional therapies like Chinese herbal medicine, 5-element nutrition, ba guan (cupping), tui na (Chinese medical massage), zhi ya (acupressure), chi nei tsang (internal organ massage), gua sha (massage with jade and horn tools), or topical herbal formulas for pain.
- privacy: one-on-one sessions allow access to all of the acupuncture points, privacy for disrobing, and space for deeper rest and relaxation
- available: I work Monday to Thursday 9:30 to 6:00 and Friday 9:30 to 12:00, offer online booking 24/7, and respond to texts and emails 7 days a week
- Holistic: a natural way to reduce pain, balance emotions, replenish energy reserves, and stimulate healing
- effective: 11 "Best of Western North Carolina" awards and hundreds of 5-star reviews
- experienced: practicing herbal medicine since 2000 and acupuncture since 2007
- local: a member of the first class of the Asheville acupuncture school, Daoist Traditions, and a resident of West Asheville since 2003
- consistency of care: we work one-on-one together throughout the entire course of your treatment
- fair rates: initial acupuncture appointments are set at the same rate as follow-ups, no hidden fees, package discounts, senior discounts
- I accept Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards
