Integrative Medicine Pharmacist

Q: How can you help me with my medications and supplements?
A: As an Integrative Medicine Pharmacist, and your personal pharmacist, I offer a comprehensive Medication Therapy Management (MTM) assessment. We'll look at all aspects of your health — from medications, symptoms, and lab results to supplements and botanicals you're currently using. I also consider your lifestyle and even genetic factors through pharmacogenomic testing. This allows us to optimize your medication, nutrition, and overall health in a way that’s personalized just for you.

Q: I’ve tried multiple medications for my health issues but nothing seems to work, how can you help?
A: I understand how frustrating that can be. We’ll do a thorough review of your medications, past and present, along with your lifestyle and lab results. I can suggest adjustments or alternatives based on your unique biology, helping you find a more effective solution that works for you.

Note: I also provide comprehensive Integrative Medicine Consultations when there are no pharmaceuticals on board, often with the intention of potentially not starting the medications or preventing the need for them in the future while finding your body and system’s greatest balance with integrative therapies. These are very informative and empowering sessions.

2. AcupuncturE

**ACUPUNCTURE**

Acupuncture uses very fine needles, placed along meridian lines to access the Qi, and help it flow more evenly through the body to get where it needs to go to provide healing and nourishment.

Q: How does acupuncture help with my pain and stress?
A: Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on your body to reset your nervous system, releasing stress and promoting your body’s natural healing ability. Whether it’s physical pain, emotional stress, or issues like digestive or respiratory problems, acupuncture has been shown to help in many areas, reducing inflammation, promoting balance, and often a euphoric sense of well-being.

Q: Can acupuncture help with anxiety and emotional stress?
A: Yes! Acupuncture is especially effective for helping with stress, anxiety, and resetting the nervous system. It can move your body out of the “fight or flight” mode and back into a more balanced, calm state, helping you feel more centered and relaxed.

Q: How many acupuncture sessions will I need, and why is it priced the way it is?
A: Many of my clients experience significant benefits after 3 to 5 sessions that are scheduled relatively close together. This frequency helps boost your body’s healing process and get you to a new level of health with decreased pain or improved balance and help move you through an acute flare-up of a chronic condition. The reason my acupuncture is priced reasonably is to make this method accessible to you, as multiple sessions are often necessary for the best results. Everyone responds differently, and part of what I do is tailor the frequency and approach to your unique needs.

3. Clinical Herbal Medicine

**Herbal Medicine**

Another ancient and complementary modality for working with your internal system to reharmonize and rebalance your system.

Q: How does clinical herbal medicine work, and how does it help me?
A: Chinese, and often, Western, herbal medicine works by addressing the root causes of your health concerns through personalized, individually prescribed formulas. These formulas are carefully crafted based on your unique health condition and are often adjusted over time as your body responds and improves. As your health stabilizes, the formula is gradually reduced or modified until you no longer need it, allowing your body to maintain the new level of health on its own.

Q: How does herbal medicine work alongside acupuncture for faster healing?
A: When combined with acupuncture, herbal medicine can significantly speed up your healing process. Acupuncture helps balance and move energy throughout your body, while herbal medicine works internally to nourish and support that process. For optimal results, many patients benefit from treatments once or twice a week, which allows for steady progress in both their physical and emotional well-being. The synergy between acupuncture and herbal medicine creates a powerful healing experience that works on multiple levels.

Q: How have you seen herbal medicine and acupuncture help patients over your years of practice?
A: With 20 years of experience, I’ve seen wonderful results in patients who truly partner with me in their healing journey. Those who commit themselves to the process, trust in my expertise, and follow through with treatments and recommendations consistently have experienced remarkable improvements in their health. It’s a deeply collaborative process, and I’ve found that patients who invest in their healing and trust the journey often see the most profound changes.

4. Esogetic Colorpuncture

The colored glass rods of the spectral Colorpuncture set.

Q: What is Esogetic Colorpuncture and how can it help me?
A: Esogetic Colorpuncture is a therapy that uses light and color to target energy imbalances in your body. I often use it alongside acupuncture to dive deeper into underlying issues that may arise during a session. It helps bring awareness to emotional or physical blockages, allowing us to heal and bring balance to specific areas of concern.

Q: How does Colorpuncture differ from traditional acupuncture?
A: While acupuncture uses needles to stimulate certain points, Colorpuncture uses light and color applied to these points. It can be more subtle, but still powerful in addressing deeper, underlying concerns and can be a great way to address issues that acupuncture alone might not fully resolve.

5. Alchemical Feng Shui

Feng Shui incorporated into any other modality brings reinforcement of your best outcomes by shifting your external environment.

Q: What exactly is Feng Shui and how can it impact my health and well-being?
A: Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese practice of aligning your physical environment to enhance the flow of energy (or “Chi”) in your life. When I work with you as an Alchemical Feng Shui Master, I help optimize your living or workspaces so that they support your health, wealth, and well-being. This could involve simple adjustments in your environment that can have a big impact on your mental and physical health.

Q: How can Feng Shui and acupuncture work together in my healing?
A: Great question! Feng Shui remedies can be incredibly effective when combined with acupuncture or other holistic therapies. I’ve seen clients experience a much smoother healing process when they’ve adjusted their environment in tandem with their body’s healing efforts. The right environment can support and amplify the energy shifts that acupuncture and other therapies bring about.

Q: Can you help with Feng Shui for my entire home, or do you only focus on specific areas?
A: I offer both a full home consultation, where we assess the overall energy flow throughout your space, and a focused intention consultation, which targets specific areas or issues you may want to address. The focused consultation can be done independently or as an add-on to any of my other services, like acupuncture or herbal treatments. Many clients find that addressing their environment in tandem with other healing methods can greatly enhance their results and overall well-being.

6. Gene Keys Guide & Human Design Sessions

**Gene Keys and Human Design**

Using your personal astrology, the wisdom of the I Ching, the kabbalah and chakra system for greater self and relational understanding.

Q: What is Human Design and how can it help me?
A: Human Design is a system that combines astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and the chakra system to provide a detailed map of how you are energetically designed to operate in the world. In a session, I help you understand your unique strengths, challenges, and how you interact with others. This deeper self-awareness can lead to improved relationships, personal growth, and a more fulfilling life.

Q: I feel like I’m stuck in life, how can Gene Keys and Human Design help me move forward?
A: Gene Keys and Human Design can help you identify the gifts and potential challenges in your life’s design. Understanding these aspects allows you to make conscious choices that align with your true nature, leading to greater clarity, purpose, and flow. Through a series of sessions, I can guide you in unlocking your full potential and offer tools to help you navigate any challenges you may face.

IN GENERAL:
