Nourish Qi Acupuncture

Knee pain treated with acupuncture coupled with red infrared heat therapy. It improves blood circulation, expels cold, reduces inflammation, relaxes muscles, fascia and connective tissue and accelerates the body’s natural repair functions.

Pain can be debilitating and negatively affect your mood and overall well-being. Besides the conventional methods of pain treatment there are more options available that address the root cause which will reduce reoccurrence of the condition.

What I love about Acupuncture is that it’s fairly non-invasive, has minimal side effects and works with the body’s innate healing abilities, not against them.

Are you experiencing pain? Book an appointment with me at Advanced Integrative Health Group, LLC for assessment, diagnosis and a treatment plan for acute or chronic pain.

I truly enjoyed teaching my Movement Is Medicine workshop this past Sunday at the Mind, Body, Soul & Spirit Retreat Wellspring Manor & Spa. I am grateful for the connections made and the relationships that will grow from this beautiful day. The infusion of love from Vanessa Burns at breakfast by Kindle Cuisine was uplifting. The Self-Care For High Achieving Women workshop by Avalaura Coaching was affirming. The salad and smoothie from WellBody Kitchen were refreshing and nourishing. Soaking in the sun on the grounds of this charming property during the Self Care Sunday experience was divine. Thank you Courtney Shorter of Ryan Morgan Events for cultivating an amazing event. Thank you Kevin Alexander and Lisa Brown Alexander, for your vision and service.

I was recently a featured guest on the VIBE Wellness Woman 40 and Beyond podcast with host Lynnis Woods-Mullins. I truly enjoyed the dynamic discussion we had about taking a holistic approach to weight loss, gut health and emotional well-being. I’m happy to share that the podcast episode I did with Lynnis last year was her highest rated show in 2023. Thank you to all who tuned in and let’s make this episode the highest rated as well by listening and sharing widely.
