"I'm so happy to have my life back! I tell everyone about you!" - Recent Client.

It's always a joy to see how my clients reclaim their lives from symptoms with the use of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine.

Recently a client of mine came in so excited to tell me she'd been retested for the chronic inflammatory condition that originally drove her to seek treatment with me. Turns out that after months without symptoms, her doctor could no longer find signs of the inflammatory markers in her bloodwork!

Additionally she was no longer having pain and sciatica from osteoarthritis in her hips and back.

After being told by every doctor that she would live with these conditions forever, she is now living pain free.
She's able to play with her granddaughter as much as she likes.
She's able to go on long walks with friends again.
She no longer has to worry about committing to something her body can't handle and is able to spend her time how she likes.

I see this all the time in my clinic. I often get people at the end of their rope who've tried many other treatment options and are finally willing to try acupuncture and herbal medicine. While I'm honest with them it will take longer to unravel a pattern when it's well established over years or decades, it is never too late to start feeling better.

Acupuncture is now a widely accepted and effective treatment for musculoskeletal pain, GI pain, headaches, Menstrual pain and more.

BUT where Acupuncture really shines is in those complicated "idiopathic" diseases that your doctors haven't been able to explain to you. You wonder "What is going on in my body? Why is this happening?"

That's where East Asian Medicine can really blow your mind.

If you're sick of dealing with the same old discomfort and pain and you'd like help finally getting to the bottom of what's going on so you can get back to the important work of LIVING YOUR LIFE, let me help! You won't regret it.

P.S. I take some insurance!

When my coaching clients find me, most of them are totally fed up with the cycles of starting a new habit (more exercise, eating healthier, better sleep, etc), getting derailed by "something coming up", beating themselves up for falling short, and giving up.

They've been around that merry-go-round more than enough times to lose hope. Trying again looks bleak, but what's the alternative because the same old same old isn't working for them?

The problem is that your brain is used to doing things a certain way, and it wants to keep you in its safe zone because when you try something new your brain fears the unknown. And that translates to lots of big feelings→

*This should be easier, what's wrong with me?
*What if I fail and look stupid?
*Am I selfish for doing this? I should (fill in the blank) to help more…

Your brain doesn't need to get very creative to derail you because you haven't yet learned how to manage your mind and regulate your emotions when these scary thoughts and feelings arise.

**Cue the life coach!**

This is where you need a coach to step in and help you co-regulate. These skills are meant to be learned in childhood by adults who model them for you, helping you stick with it through your big feelings.

But if the adults in your sphere were frequently triggered by your big feelings, or preoccupied and not available to support you, then as a child your brain learned to throw up a stop sign🛑 instead.

If they had co-regulated with you, you would've seen that there's a natural wave to these emotions and sucky thoughts.

If you stay consistent through them, you come out on the other side and they don't feel so big anymore BUT you're now that much closer to reaching your goal and knowing your authentic self!

Doing it on your own is REALLY hard. In The Chrysalis I hold the container for you as you learn the skills to keep progressing through the ups and downs. It's a wild journey, where you'll discover more about yourself than you dreamed, and finally get to lean back and enjoy your routines!

If you're ready to take the next step towards your dreams and discovering your whole self, schedule a Strategy Session with me today.

Are you someone who gets hit hard by cold & flu season?

Do you catch every cold around and then take weeks or months to clear it?

Or maybe your kids get it, and then end up being phlegmy all winter long?

Well Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine can help! I see new clients come in with terrible recurrent chesty coughs and finally clear it so they can breath (and sleep!) easy.

You can feel better faster. You can be the one who skips the next bug. You can feel confident that you have the right herbals in your tool box to get you and your family back on their feet sooner (with fewer missed days at work/school).

Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine helps by directly eliminating phlegm, clearing the excess heat from infection, and strengthening your immune system so it can fight infections more efficiently. With regular acupuncture you can even address the underlying imbalances in your system that lead you to "always get" that same kind of illness.

If you are a person who knows just how it goes for you, maybe starting in your head, then landing in your lungs for weeks… or always starting in your nose, then landing in your sinuses and ears for ages… or starting in your gut, and throwing your digestion off for prolonged periods, then there is an underlying pattern making these illnesses stick around for too long.

You don't have to put up with another winter like that.

Schedule an acupuncture session with me today to start the season out strong so you can enjoy what you love most about Fall & Winter in Vermont instead of dreading another winter of feeling sick and tired!

During your session we can also talk about how to stock your cabinet with the best adult or pediatric formulas available to treat each stage of illness at home. These are the formulas I have relied on for years for myself, my kids, my parents, and even gifting them to friends and relatives for the holidays!
