🌿✨ Exciting News! ✨🌿

I'm thrilled to share that I've officially become certified in Functional Medicine! 🎉

After 17 years as a licensed acupuncturist, this new chapter allows me to deepen my commitment to holistic healing by integrating Functional Medicine into my practice.

So, what is Functional Medicine? It's a patient-centered, science-based approach that seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease. By considering the complex interplay of genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors, Functional Medicine aims to restore balance and promote optimal health .

This approach beautifully complements Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture, which focus on harmonizing the body's energy (Qi) and restoring balance between yin and yang . Together, they offer a comprehensive path to wellness that addresses both the symptoms and the underlying causes of illness.

I'm excited to offer this integrative approach to support your health journey. Stay tuned for more insights and offerings!

When a pregnant person experiences chronic stress, elevated cortisol (the primary stress hormone) can cross the placenta, potentially impacting the baby’s developing nervous system. This can lead to issues like increased fussiness, sleep disturbances, or even long-term emotional sensitivity after birth.
⠀
✨ The good news? Acupuncture is a safe, gentle, and effective way to reduce stress during pregnancy.
⠀
By calming the nervous system, balancing hormones, and promoting deep relaxation, acupuncture helps lower cortisol levels—benefiting both the parent and baby.
⠀
Whether you're navigating first-trimester nausea or third-trimester tension, acupuncture can support a more peaceful pregnancy—for you and your little one. 💕

At Acupuncture for Balanced Wellness, we provide holistic support for every stage of motherhood.

At our Chicago Loop acupuncture clinic, we use cupping as natural treatment to release muscle tension, detoxify tissues, and promote blood curculation. The negative pressure created by cupping stretches muscles and connective tissues. It also pulls old stuck blood up to the surface so that new fresh blood can nourish the area and promote healing. By bringing old blood and fluids to the surface, the body can more easily flush out any toxins trapped in the tissues. Cupping is a great treatment for aches and pains, congestion in the lungs or GI system, and muscle recovery.

Acupuncture for a knee injury helps to reduce pain and inflammation and can speed up the healing process. This is a treatment I give myself to help with an old sports injury that gets aggravated once in a when I do something dumb. In this case, I was jumping on a trampoline that had a bunch of bouncey balls on top of it. I rolled my ankle and aggravated my knee when I tripped on one of the balls. Acupuncture to the rescue!
