Several thousand years ago, East Asian practitioners discovered that the body forms disharmonies as a result of the various physical and mental stresses of life. Oriental medical theory explains these disharmonies as an imbalance of opposing forces called yin and yang. This imbalance disrupts the movement of the body's vital energy (qi) along the meridian pathways, which are channels through which the body's energy is thought to flow.
Chinese herbs are often used in conjunction with acupuncture for added therapeutic effect. While many cultures have herbal medicine traditions, the sophistication of Chinese herbal medicine is unsurpassed. Chinese herbal medicine has a long history reaching back several thousand years, and the resulting system is now used to treat everything from the common cold to certain types of cancer.

Eileen is an amazing healer. She has treated myself, husband and preteen. She is extremely thorough, caring and knowledgeable. I was in constant pain from a mid back spasm which was debilitating. Her techniques and experience make her stand apart from other practitioners. I am beyond grateful for finding and entrusting Eileen!

My eyesight is remarkably improved after working with Eileen van Vulpen.
She is a caring and skilled professional.
Four years ago, I was diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration. As my eyesight declined and traditional medicine had nothing more to offer, I discovered positive results were being achieved through acupuncture.
After about 20 treatments with Eileen I saw my ophthalmologist. He was surprised by the vast improvement in my vision. He said he did not know much about acupuncture but whatever I was doing, I should keep doing it.

I went as a first timer and highly recommend you try it also! I have always shyed away from acupuncture but thought it could help me relax. Eileen was welcoming and friendly, and after briefly discussing my health concerns she started off with cupping my back (think of Michael Phelps in the Olympics). This was to relieve some tightness and soreness by creating space for blood flow to heal the muscles, opposite of massage which compresses. I feel great still!
Next Eileen put me at ease by explaining how she places the needles and what sensations I should (and should not) feel. After strategically
