As an acupuncturist and hypnotherapist, my goal is to act as a catalyst for positive change in every patient. I specialize in a unique treatment that I refer to as "hypnoacupuncture," which is a combination of acupuncture and hypnotherapy. Combining the power of hypnosis with acupuncture has proven to create treatments that are effective on all levels: physical, mental, and emotional. Many patients describe these sessions as life-altering, and find them to be more deeply relaxing than anything they have ever experienced before. I treat many patients for weight-loss and smoking cessation, but I have found that these combination sessions of hypnosis and acupuncture can benefit endless issues, including depression, anxiety, and insomnia. At Healing Point Therapeutics, my mission is to have every patient leave the treatment table prepared to reach their highest potential in health and well-being.

At Anodyne Community Acupuncture, treatments take place in a quiet group setting with each person seated in a reclining chair. By treating many people at one time, costs can remain low ($30-$50 per treatment), friends and family can be treated at the same time and, most importantly, more people in the community can benefit from the therapeutic effects of acupuncture.

I've been studying the movement of subtle energy in the body for 30 years. My practice is about helping people re-balance and strengthen in who they are through gentle suggestions to help body, mind and spirit reconnect with the original wisdom within. Get back to yourself!
