Good health is not simply the absence of symptoms. In fact, by the time most symptoms surface, the body has already been out of balance for some time, and they surface to get our attention. Current trends in health care show that by integrating Eastern practices with Western medicine, patients are better able to live healthier lives.
Recent developments in science have determined that human beings are complex bioelectric systems. Remarkably, this understanding has been the foundation of acupuncture practice for several thousand years. Acupuncture treatments utilize the insertion of fine, sterile, metal filiform needles into specific acupuncture points of the body.
When performed by a licensed, board certified acupuncturist it is safe- Please check the qualifications of any health care provider before starting treatment! Our acupuncturists are licensed and board certified, holding the highest qualification available in the US. There are very few side effects of acupuncture treatments, with very little recovery time needed after treatments.
Ancient Asian herbal formulas are an effective means of treating illness and injury. These herbal formulas target underlying conditions that lead to illness. By treating the underlying condition, the cause of the symptoms is removed, and there will be no recurrence of the symptoms. Herbal formulas are all natural, with very few side effects, and work well with conventional medicine.

I am currently beginning my Aikido journey. It is about staying centered in an ever changing world. I am finding balance, strength, commitment and energy that I have been searching for. I am finding friends I didn't realize I needed, and mentors that I needed, but didn't expect to find. For anyone looking for these things, I would highly recommend Abiding Spirit. Oh, and it's exercise both physical and mental! A great benefit!

I attended a trial Aikido class and was extremely impressed with the instructors, as well as the positive atmosphere that surrounded the dojo.
If you have ever thought about trying out a self-defense class, I would highly recommend the Abiding Spirit Center. Within minutes, I felt very welcomed into the dojo and even after the class ended, the instructors answered various questions I had for almost 45 minutes. I signed up for classes shortly after!

I've been an acupuncture patient at the Abiding Spirit Center for 5 years now and highly recommend them! Michelle and Lisa are friendly, compassionate, understanding, and knowledgeable in their field. I was skeptical originally, but appreciate the option of more natural treatment rather than medication. For those skeptical about acupuncture, it's painfree, riskfree, and relaxing! Highly recommend giving them a try!

I have been practicing Aikido at Abiding Spirit for a month now and my experience has been awesome. It is rare to find a place that has Sensei's that have a deeper understanding of how to train body and souls. It is Challenging and peaceful at the same time. The space is beautiful, clean, and a pleasure to enter in to. The members there are very warm and welcoming.

I've been a student here for about 4 four months now and I've been thrilled with the experience. The instructors are talented and thankfully very patient, making learning the skills a real pleasure. It's a beautiful facility and definitely worth checking out if you are interested in martial arts, acupuncture, or even just looking for a fun workout.

I have been a student of Aikido here for over 6 years. Although I have recently relocated out of the country, I still consider myself a student here. Training in Aikido is intense, with a focus towards the overall physical, mental and spiritual development of the student. For people seeking other avenues to explore, try the yoga and meditation classes.
I have also taken treatments at the Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic for over 5 years and have seen a marked improvement in my sciatic condition.
