The Five Elements correspond to the seasons in nature as well as facets of ourselves. This ancient and profound art of healing has many benefits, including some you may not expect, such as greater emotional and spiritual well-being. Five Element Acupuncture helps to regain and maintain the balance of energy within us, restoring the smooth flow of qi.
When our energy is in balance, (nothing missing, nothing blocked, and nothing in excess) we have optimal health emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically. Acupuncture can be used to help the body heal itself when we are out of balance, in pain, injured, anxious or depressed. It can also be used when we are healthy to help us stay healthy and feeling great.

Acupuncture is a key component in ancient Chinese medicine, and now a great deal of modern research proves that it is a safe, effective, chemical-free way to promote the body's own healing abilities. Traditional Chinese medicine uses acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force - known as chi or qi (chee) which flows through pathways called 'meridians' in your body.
Winter: Are we resting deeply in the winter, allowing stillness to be part of every day? Are we holding on to our reserves or are we spending all of our energy as though all of life is an emergency. Can we practice being comfortable with the fear of not knowing what comes next, and experience the wisdom that comes from that?
Treatment strategies are custom tailored for each person. We are not a clinic, and pay very close attention to each individuals needs. Therefore, regardless of similarities in sypmtoms, no two individiuals receive the same treatment. Five Element Acupuncture provides an in-depth personal system of medicine, which recognizes a persons unique body, mind and spirit.
Chinese herbs are often used in conjunction with acupuncture to increase the therapeutic impact. For thousands of year's Chinese herbal medicine has been used to treat ailments as simple as the common cold, to as complex as symptoms associated with cancer. In conjunction with Five Element therapies we tailor a course of treatment that meets your unique health needs.
Many people who could benefit from acupuncture are nervous about the treatment, concerned that acupuncture needles will feel like hypodermic injections at the doctor's office. Acupuncture needles are nothing like that and do not penetrate the skin beyond the top few layers. Acupuncture needles are very small, generally no large than the width of two strands of hair.

Rena and her services are amazing. I have been receiving acupuncture treatments from her for several years and I hate needles! I trust her implicitly. She knows just what my body and spirit needs even before I do and reads my mind and energy so well. I credit her treatments with helping me get pregnant at 40 which my doctor had told me I was going to have a difficult time doing. Thankfully we conceived naturally and I believe this is in no small part due to regular acupuncture treatments from Rena Howell.

Rena is a genuine find. She’s a highly experienced 5 Element acupuncturist, very insightful, compassionate, and GOOD! I’m a licensed acupuncturist myself and extremely picky about who I’ll let work on me. I’ve seen Rena weekly for 4 years - my 85-year-old parents live with me and she keeps me going. Rena puts me back together each week physically, spiritually, and mentally. I don’t know how I would survive and thrive without her! If you want to feel better, you owe it to yourself to get sessions with Rena.
