ACUPUNCTURE & HERBAL MEDICINE
Care as individual as you are.
Every treatment at Perennial Health is tailored to your unique constitution — your history, your patterns, your goals. No protocols. No rushing. Just thoughtful, present, whole-person care.
WHAT A SESSION INCLUDES
Three modalities. One integrated treatment.
Depending on your presentation and needs, I draw from acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal medicine — often in combination — to create a treatment that addresses both your immediate symptoms and the underlying patterns driving them.
Modality 01
Acupuncture
Fine needles placed at specific points along the body's meridian pathways to restore the free flow of qi — the vital energy that governs how we feel, function, and heal. I'm working with your constitution, your current state, and what your body is telling me in real time. No two sessions are the same, because you're not the same person at every visit.
Modality 02
Moxibustion
I incorporate moxibustion into most of my treatments — it's one of my favorite tools in Chinese Medicine. It involves gently burning dried mugwort over specific acupuncture points, creating a warming sensation that helps move stagnation and support the free flow of qi through the body. Most patients find it deeply relaxing.
Modality 03
Herbal medicine
Chinese herbal medicine has a pharmacopeia of hundreds of plants, each with distinct properties. I prescribe patient-specific formulas designed to address both the root cause of what you're experiencing and the symptoms that need relief in the short term. Herbs can be a useful tool that extends the work of your acupuncture treatment between sessions. I'll recommend them when I think they'll make a meaningful difference. (please note: herbs are an additional cost.)
