Our process is designed so that we can give focus and attention to you and your case, not so we can see the most patients in the least amount of time. We have a comfortable, well-equipped facility that ensures we do not sacrifice time spent with our patients and our standard of care in order to cover our bottom line. All local prospective patients who are not referred by one of our affiliated physicians are required to attend a brief, no-charge initial consultation so I can meet you in person first to discuss your case. Here is what we will do:

1. You and I will meet one-on-one in a private consultation room where you can tell me the basics about your current situation.
2. I will ask some questions to help me determine if you are a good candidate for the services I offer.
3. I will give you a brief overview of my philosophy and how my program works to make sure you are comfortable, as well.
4. This initial meeting ensures that you are ready to begin your program and allows me to suggest preliminary medical testing if necessary. (Medical testing is done either through your current physician or one of our affiliated medical clinics.)

At the end of this brief initial consultation, if you decide to become a patient, we will schedule your full initial consultation. In some cases, we may be able to schedule your full initial consultation during the same week. In most cases, it will be one to two weeks after your introductory consultation.

After this visit you have the option of scheduling your 90-minute initial intake appointment.

We take time to listen carefully to the finer details and nuances of your story to get the COMPLETE picture. Our goal is to help you to harmonize your mind, body, and spirit so you are able to function at maximum potential on every level. In order to do this correctly and efficiently, proper time and focus are required. Therefore, this is the foundation of our practice. We firmly believe that the power of natural, holistic medicine is maximized when guided by scientific data and knowledge. Our process includes laboratory testing to measure baselines, determine nutritional guidelines, and track progress. Patients are encouraged to bring in any recent lab results they have in their files. You will receive a document clearly outlining your comprehensive treatment plan. This document includes your Chinese Medical diagnosis, the reason for your diagnosis, and all recommended treatment strategies including Acupuncture, herbs, supplements, lifestyle and dietary suggestions, and mind-body exercises. You will be able to refer to this treatment plan whenever you like, and we will make adjustments to it as we continue and things improve. Acupuncture treatments are prescribed to initiate and quicken the healing response. Single-use, stainless steel, sterile needles are carefully placed into special points on your body called "acupoints". These points are carefully selected based on the desired effect of the treatment, whether it is to boost reproductive function, balance the digestive system, increase blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, or calm and center the mind and emotions.

Acupuncture is usually done on a weekly basis at the outset, to give your body a regular, gentle stimulus for reprogramming unhealthy patterns into healthy ones. Frequency of treatments are reduced once we are seeing significant progress and momentum in the right direction, eventually going to a maintenance schedule that includes bi-annual or annual follow-up visits.

For fertility enhancement, the Acupuncture process involves very focused weekly treatments based on the natural fertility cycles of your body. If you are not currently cycling, or are having irregular cycles, the initial focus will be on establishing your rhythm. Then, we will begin treatments to support each phase of the fertility cycle.

Chinese Herbal Medicine is the most highly developed and widely-practiced system of herbalism on Earth. We are continually amazed at how well the human body responds to herbs and believe this is because herbal substances have unique "signatures" that the body innately understands. Because the substances are natural and non-toxic, there are rarely, if ever, any side-effects. And, contrary to conventional wisdom, the effects can be almost immediate.

By customizing herbal prescriptions for each patient, we ensure the full expression of the power and efficacy of these natural substances. You will receive a unique prescription based on exactly your needs, constitution, and unique situation. And, we will follow up and make adjustments regularly to ensure maximum results.

We use only pharmaceutical-grade herbal extracts sourced from GMP-compliant manufacturing facilities. The supplier we use voluntarily submits their shipments to random FDA inspection on a regular basis. We have NEVER had a SINGLE incident of a serious adverse event from any of our herbal formulations.

The focus of our nutritional support program is not on counting calories or restrictive dieting. It's about eating the right amount of the right foods at the right times, based on your unique needs and constitution. Nutritional supplementation is done using evidence-based principles, so we keep your supplement regimen focused on what you need, not on what may or may not help. It is what you are doing on a daily basis that builds the foundation for health or illness. Our lifestyle coaching takes into account your holistic diagnosis, constitution, medical history, and current time constraints to create a balanced, achievable plan. Our motto is "Life Creates Life", and our lifestyle coaching follows this principle to give you opportunities to bring a more vibrant, energetic attitude and rhythm to your daily activities. We teach you simple mind-body exercises that help you access deep inner reserves of healing power and strength. These exercises are easy to learn, easy to practice, and take as little a 3-5 minutes on a daily basis. It is our experience that incorporating this aspect into your treatment plan is actually as important, if not more important, than any treatments, herbal formulas, or nutritional support we prescribe.
