WE KEEP IT SIMPLE.

Complicated doesn't always mean more sophisticated, or better. Sometimes it's the simple approach that gets the biggest result. We work to identify the clearest treatments for YOUR pattern of IBS and go from there. These treatments may include acupuncture, herbal supplements, and simple, doable lifestyle tweaks to help your digestion, naturally. 

WE USE A PROVEN SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN TREATING DIGESTIVE ISSUES SUCCESSFULLY AND NATURALLY FOR CENTURIES

We work on healing your body, at the deepest levels, with acupuncture, herbal supplements and simple lifestyle recommendations, to show your body the way back into balance. Your body wants to be healthy, balanced and thriving. We remind it how to get there, and give you simple steps to keep it there.

WE GET TO THE ROOT OF WHAT IS CAUSING YOUR iBS

We work on identifying exactly WHY your body is out of balance, and then we simply and steadily bring it back into balance, promoting gut health and improved digestion. We are also happy to work with your Western medical GI team to improve outcomes.

WE REMIND YOUR BODY HOW TO LIVE in balance

Bodies are wise—they want to be efficient. We identify exactly where the imbalances lie and systematically work to address them. No matter what your IBS is caused by, we work to provide natural solutions.

WE FOCUS ON HOW YOU FEEL, NOT JUST Lab reports and protocols

We focus on how you FEEL. Your body is not a machine, it is a container for your lovely human self. When you feel vibrant, balanced, and relaxed, healthy digestion occurs naturally. We treat the whole person, not JUST the numbers.

OUR APPROACH ALWAYS INCLUDES SIMPLE LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS TO promote healthy digestion

We meet each patient where they are at in their health journey, and give appropriate recommendations based upon that. Sometimes it’s a simple meditation break. Sometimes it’s a doable lifestyle tweak. Sometimes its dietary adjustments. Sometimes it’s focus on getting a little more sleep. Our goal is for you to feel good in your body and your life, and we provide tools to get you there faster.

GENTLE
ACUPUNCTURE

Our specialty is gentle acupuncture. Acupuncture has been healing bodies for centuries, by awakening and stimulating your own body’s innate healing process. It restores cells and tissues, cleans up what doesn’t belong there, and gets blood flow moving to reduce pain. 

HERBAL
SUPPLEMENTS

Herbal supplements simultaneously cure and strengthen the body. This is an important approach for IBS — herbal supplements can restore gut health while strengthening the body to support proper nutrient absorption and to restore energy. This combination makes herbal medicine particularly well-suited to addressing all kinds of digestive issues.

FUNCTIONAL NUTRITIONAL THERAPY

When your tissues are fully nourished with the specific nutrients they need, they naturally function at a very high level. When tissues are functioning at a high level, digestion is enhanced.  We provide specialized, simple, and doable dietary recommendations for all of our IBS patients.

RELAXATION &
STRESS REDUCTION

When your body is in a state of relaxation, it is able to do repair at the deepest level. In this state, your tissues, muscles, bones, and nerves become more synchronized and calm — creating the perfect stage for health and healing. This means less inflammation, better circulation, balanced hormones, a calmer mind, more energy and better mood.

Transitional Care As Improvements Are Maintained

Once we see improvements that are maintaining over time, we will start spacing visits out further apart. This usually occurs after 8 to 12 visits, with some individual variability. We will go from weekly visits to visits every 10 to 14 days, then once a month, then on an as-needed basis for “tuneups.” We are here for you, in case you have other healthcare issues you want to address. Of course, many of our patients wish to continue with regular maintenance, and we are always happy to work with you on that level, if that is your wish.
