AcuEsthetics Where East Meets West Beautifully

 Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

TCM- is a comprehensive health care system that has been in continuous use for several thousand years. The following are modalities found within this system.  

Acupuncture-shallow insertion of thin sterilized needles into specific sites in the body used to promote healing. I am very sensitive to those who feel uncomfortable about needles. Acupressure, tui na, and cupping can be done in its place offering very good results.

Acupressure-manual stimulation of specific sites (acupuncture without needles). This is often incorporated with a form of bodywork called tui na.

Chinese herbology- a powerful system that uses natural medicinals to treat numerous common complaints.

Cupping-improvement of circulation by means of creating a vacuum. Poor circulation often expresses itself as discomfort. This by far is one of my favorite forms of treatment because its results can be experienced almost immediately. I have seen some amazing results through cupping.

Therapeutic Massage- in TCM this is calle Tui Na. Great for sore, tired muscles, and painful joints. It is healing, and Oh So Relaxing!

Nutritional Consultation-includes review of eating habits, dietary suggestions, and recommendations. Your diet is the foundation of your health, and it is often the root cause of disease. I offer what I consider to be the finest in whole food supplements, Standard Process products. I use them, and I love them!

Breathwork-instruction in the relaxing, and healing techniques of breathing properly.

Postural Awareness-instruction in the proper standing, sitting, and reclining, for optimal health.

Simple Stretches-customized to meet your specific needs.

NADA-NADA is a specailty acupuncture treatment used primarily for PTSD and detox. It is an excellent treatment that can help reduce stress and cravings. I periodically provide this treatment for those going through and intensive outpatient program at a clinic in Wauwatosa called West Grove Clinic.
