About Our Practice

Emotional and physical health is a manifestation of balance, both within the body itself and between the body and the external environment. When the body, mind and spirit are internally balanced and in harmony with one’s environment, energy flows smoothly throughout to nourish all organs and tissues. By balancing the flow of energy, we stimulate our natural ability to be healthy and happy.

Traditional Asian Medicine, as well as Western-style Massage are not just for when there’s a problem. Maintain your health and happiness by receiving compassionate care through acupuncture, massage, herbs, movement and gentle lifestyle counseling.

We also believe that acupuncture should be available and affordable to the entire community. This is why we offer to work with our patients so that we can make treatment available to them through payment plans, sliding scale, barter and low-cost Community-style Clinics.

When you call, email or text for an appointment, our office manager, Abby Varney, will be happy to answer your questions and help you make an appointment to start your healing journey.

degree in Chinese Medicine. Rebecca is passionate about combining her Western and
Eastern medical knowledge to provide individualized, research-based care to help
people achieve their wellness goals. With each treatment, Rebecca focuses on treating
