I am a graduate of the Master of Acupuncture (MAc) program at Tai Sophia Institute, Center for Healing Arts. Their new name is MUIH (Maryland University of Integrative Health). Message me for information if you are curious about this ancient medicine and how this healing philosophy works. Through thousands of years of observing nature, and how it changes within and outside of our bodies, this amazing system of medicine has been developed. Acupuncture supports the smooth flow of energy in our bodies, and allows our natural processes to do all of the healing. It literally initiates or facilitates healing from within because nothing is injected or ingested, but rather, it's a gentle form of medicine giving us the opportunity to do what we do best. One way to look at it is an extremely detailed and precise form of acupressure. The needles are not sharp; they do not cut the tissue, they press into the tissue. These tiny, thin needles are rounded at the ends, with a solid sphere at the tip and they are solid, not hollow. Learning all about this medicine and how it works is a gift and I feel honored to practice Acupuncture. I believe that in our modern world, now more than ever, our society needs this ancient medicine because it is a simple, effective (and cost effective) form of healing. I worked for 12 years in the Western medical field prior to studying Acupuncture, as an Emergency Medical Technician and as a medical research program coordinator, and later as a Physical Therapist’s Assistant. After entering the Doctoral program in Physical Therapy I tried Acupuncture. I'm looking forward to talking to you about any questions you might have. I was a complete skeptic until I tried Acupuncture for myself! The World Health Organization (WHO) has endorsed Acupuncture as effective for treating several conditions including insomnia, digestive issues, headaches, fatigue, back pain, arthritis, nausea, stress, and anxiety.
