Life in Balance Acupuncture

You want to feel better, I’d love to help.

I work with smart people who like to be active partners in their healing process.

WE’VE RE-OPENED!

I’m thrilled to be back in clinic, taking multiple new precautions to keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible, including:

new HEPA air filters with germ-killing UV-C light in every room
new screening questions (I’m not seeing anyone with COVID-like symptoms in person — only telemedicine)
touchless temperature readings at the door
social distancing measures: one person at a time in the waiting room, we’ll call you in from your car
cleaning high-touch surfaces between each patient
new hardwood floors, vinyl pillows, wooden chairs so we can clean thoroughly
wearing face coverings unless you’re face-down on the table

If you’re already an established patient, you can schedule an appointment here.

Not ready to come in? Or have COVID-like symptoms? I can still support you from afar. Click here to schedule a telemedicine visit. Herbs, acupressure, lifestyle and diet are as much a part of Chinese Medicine as acupuncture — no contact required.

Not yet a patient? Please call us at 541 757-4868 to request an appointment.

You understand that there is a connection between how you are living and how you are feeling. You want to go beyond just masking symptoms — you want to understand their message so they don’t come back. You want to work with someone who will see you as a whole person, who will listen to you and help you to make changes that line up with how you want to feel — pain-free, energized, and able to enjoy your life. You’ve come to the right place.

I tend to have success with issues like:

Stress, anxiety, depression
Tiredness, adrenal fatigue, chronic fatigue, auto-immune symptoms
Back and neck pain, sciatica, neuralgia
Knee, shoulder, wrist, or any other joint pain, arthritis
PMS, infertility, hormone imbalances
Headaches, migraines
Chronic conditions like fibromyalgia and autoimmune conditions
Sleep problems
Digestive issues: bloating, IBS, constipation, diarrhea, GERD
Recovery from surgery
Hot flashes, night sweats, irritability
Psycho-emotional re-patterning
Respiratory issues
Conditions where other forms of medicine haven’t helped, or where the side-effects outweigh the benefits

If you’ve been living with any of these issues and wonder whether this is as good as it gets, give us a call at 541-757-4868.

A handful of sessions could make a big difference. A dozen could be life-changing.

We’ll draft a personalized plan of care that could include: acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, lifestyle and diet counseling, essential oils, cupping and gua sha, breathing, qi gong, and/or meditation.

At Life in Balance Acupuncture, I believe:

In treating you like I’d treat a member of my own family
That I’m doing my job when you don’t need to come back for treatment
That my first job is to listen to you with compassion
That no one knows your body better than than you, so I take you and your intuition seriously
That what you do in your daily life will have a profound effect on whether or not you get better, so I’ll strategize with you about ways you can help yourself
In treating both the symptoms that brought you here as well as the root cause

Every interaction that you have with a medical provider should help you feel better
In empowering you with the knowledge and tools to take care of yourself
No one has all the answers, and if I don’t think I can help you, I’ll tell you and provide you with a thoughtful referral
In lifelong learning, so I am constantly deepening our knowledge of Chinese, Ayurvedic, Allopathic, and functional medicine, in addition to learning from everyone I treat
In walking my talk about holistic self-care
In bioindividuality: what works for someone else’s body might be different than what’s right for you
That you have the right to prioritize your wellness, and that when you do, everyone in your life will benefit — and I understand how difficult this can be

That when you change what and how you eat, move, deal with stress, and sleep, you can dramatically change how you feel, no matter how old you are
That you’re not what you eat, you’re what you can digest
That small changes repeated over time will take you in a very different direction than you’d otherwise be heading
In strategizing with you and supporting you to make healthy changes in your life
That adapting to a sick society is not a sign of health
In giving back to our community
