Concierge Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medicine allows us to explore and treat the ailments that plague the human body and soul through a different lens and paradigm than we may be accustomed to. It is steeped in thousands of years of practice and tradition and, as such, takes the whole physical framework, mind, and spirit into consideration when formulating appropriate diagnostics.
Through the use of fine sterile needles, suction cups, electric stimulation, and herbal medicine, it can treat the body and spirit in its entirety. It works by decreasing systemic inflammation, regulating nitric oxide levels, improving organ function, alleviating pain, supporting fertility and immunity, reprogramming mood and so much more. Carefully curated traditional Chinese herbal medicine is formulated based on your unique diagnostic presentations and can be used alone or in conjunction with physical treatments, providing a thorough and effective system for care.
Workshops
Annie offers a lot of different types of private and public workshops. She loves teaching and learning through the give and take that only happens in a live setting. She’s led interactive classes, healing circles, and full retreats in the US and abroad.
Community Acupuncture is an affordable way to get treated by Annie, learn more about natural healing and have fun connecting with others. She’s also developed a unique experience called, “The Best Medicine”. This is health-focused storytelling seminar. She designed it to share body wisdom, provoke creativity and enhance communication skills. It is an integration of theories from Chinese Medicine, Yoga, and Improv Comedy, used in combination to create a playful and invigorating environment for growth and self-discovery. She prides herself on having mastered the art of not taking life too seriously, while still being observant to all of the trials and tribulations we face. These events create community and leave the participant with tools for coping and enjoying life more fully.
Contact
Annie chooses to see and treat people in their homes. She finds that this is the easiest way to provide comprehensive care with the least amount of distractions. She brings her entire office with her wherever she goes and loves getting to see the setting in which a person exists, in order to best facilitate the healing process.
