My focus is to help people middle age and beyond to continue living healthy, active and joyful lives. I integrate my training in Acupuncture, Herbology, Qi Gong (Energy Movement), Tui Na (Meridian Massage), Cupping, and Nutrition to provide a holistic approach to health and wellness. Treatments include consultation and support for lifestyle changes so that the patient and practitioner form a partnership moving toward health and vitality.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, disease contains two parts analogous to the roots and branches of a tree. The symptoms are like branches, and if you only treat them, the same roots will soon grow the same symptoms again. To effectively heal, one must address the root cause of the of illness so the tree may grow healthy branches. Additionally, two people may both experience a similar disease but have very different underlying root causes. Likewise, two others may have very different diseases but have the same root cause. At Rooted Medicine, Andrea Hingst L.Ac. MSOM, draws from experiences in integrated hospitals and private practice to combine traditional Chinese therapies with modern functional medicine to identify each individual’s unique foundational imbalance to heal from the roots up.
