Mission Statement

To passionately use acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, or other tools such as Tai Chi, Qi Gong or meditation to help guide people in need so that they can reach their highest potential in life. My goal is to help people live stronger, healthier lives. Lives free of pain. Lives free of anxiety. Lives full of purpose. Lives bursting with enthusiasm. Lives where transformation is possible. Lives where compassion and love are central.
We’re all flowing along in this giant river of a universe and sometimes we get caught on a rock and we need a push. Chinese Medicine, Tai Chi and meditation are all tools that nudge people down stream and create freedom by helping the body heal itself.

Red Raven Acupuncture is a comprehensive Chinese Medicine clinic offering acupuncture treatments, herbal medicine, moxibustion, and cupping. Our treatment approach is minimalist in that we try to limit the number of needles required to see improvement. This allows us to focus the treatment more directly on the immediate concern, usually leading to faster and more long-term results.
