Acupuncture has been used by the Chinese and many other cultures for thousands of years; it is a very effective therapy especially for fatigue, stress, and pain. Acupuncture started out as acupressure; the Chinese discovered that applying physical pressure (usually with fingers, hands, or elbows) worked well on certain points of the body to release pain and the congestion of qi.
Then they began using bone slivers to needle the points, freeing up hands and making the treatments more effective. I have been practicing acupuncture on Lopez Island for 8 years (12 years overall). My specialties are back pain, Chinese nutritional consultation, and repetitive stress injuries, such as office workers, musicians, and athletes might encounter.

If you are new to acupuncture, and are worried about the needles, please let me know. I can adjust the number of needles used, and/or give a demonstration on needling technique.
If you are not comfortable with needling, there are other therapies in my scope of practice that are just as useful: moxibustion, cupping, Chinese Tui Na (therapeutic massage), the use of herbal patents, and the use of raw herbs are all effective modalities for many health issues.

My husband had just been released from the hospital with a 34% chance of living through the next 30 days when Helen Sanders came into our life. Randy's liver had failed. His body had clearly experienced a catastrophic event. Helen bravely and competently helped us through the first crucial weeks, when Randy would have died without the knowledge she shared so freely with us.
