Acupuncture

Afraid of needles?  You've come to the right place.  I enjoy a reputation in Durango for having a very gentle, yet surprisingly effective approach to Acupuncture.  We'll begin your appointment with a thorough consultation involving tongue and pulse diagnosis, then you'll slip between the flannel sheets on the heated massage table and allow your senses to unwind. Depending on what you need,  your session may involve massage with myofascial techniques, essential oils, guided meditation, cupping, moxa and cranial sacral therapy in addition to thoughtfully placed needles. You may be shown a few therapeutic yoga poses, given some recipes, or herbal supplement suggestions and will hopefully leave feeling nurtured, empowered and pain free.

Cosmetic Acupuncture

Looking for a non-toxic alternative to botox? As Durango's only certified Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture practitioner, I use the combination of face and body to points to correct constitutional imbalances while directing collagen and elastin to the face.  Reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve acne, even out skin tone, firm jawline, and tighten pores while releasing the tension held in the face.  As each session involves constitutional points, you may notice a reduction of pain, enhanced energy, improved digestion and sleep, less sinus congestion or headaches and reduction of stress. All treatments involve cleansing, toning and mask with natural Astara products as well as microcurrent, facial steaming, and hand and foot massage. Acupuncture facelifts involve twice weekly appointments for 5 weeks and last for 6 to 12 months.

Shonishin Pediatric Acupuncture

Shonishin is a gentle and needle free approach to Acupuncture specifically designed for children. This system was developed by the Japanese and involves the use of specially hand welded tiny metal tools that are used to gently sweep and scrape along meridian pathways. Additionally one or two points may be needled with no retention if necessary.

Children respond beautifully to shonishin treatments which can be effective for the following issues: bed wetting, indigestion and colic, teething, sleeping problems, emotional upset, ear infections, ADHD and more...I also carry a line of pediatric Chinese tinctures from a company in Boulder.  These formulas are incredibly effective for the treatment of ear infections, teething and attention issues. 

$50 per half hour appointment

In these private consultations we'll take a deep look at posture, breathing, gate and spinal structure to highlight patterns and empower you with appropriate and effective poses to counter these variances and help you rediscover your core in relationship to the neutrality of the spine. 

Disrupting any dependency on analgesics, massage, acupuncture, chiropractic, Rolfing, etc by giving you an active role in your own healing.
