Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is all about getting to the root of the problem, so that not only do symptoms resolve but they do not return. Through a series of questions we determine what the proper course of treatment will be to treat your symptoms (the branch) and your constitution (the root). That being said, the list of symptoms that can be treated effectively with TCM is virtually limitless because we treat the individual and their specific and unique presentation.

A doula is someone who gives continuous emotional and physical support to a women and her partner before, during, and after the birth of their child. The goal of a doula's work is to assist in achieving a more comfortable, safe and positive birth experience. I am a trained doula and member of the doula cooperative of Rochester, NY.
Movement is life. The lack of proper functional movement doesn't just cause joint/muscle pain. It effects all systems of the body. Something as simple as relearning proper breathing is movement therapy and can be profoundly healing. Qi gong can be thought of as "Chinese yoga". Various postures and movements are used not only to strengthen the muscles but the whole body inside and out.

Children have a whole list of issues that come up in thier early years. With children under 4 years old acupuncture is only used in special cases. Herbal medicine, soft tissue body work, and working with diet tend to be the most effective way to deal with a large list of childhood problems. Children up to 12 still do not recieve much acupuncture, and when they do the needles are quickly inserted, stimulated and removed immediatly.

I was suffering from extremely tight muscles along the neck and shoulders due to 2 decades worth of sitting at a desk. I had also pulled my sciatic muscle. By the time Patrick saw me I was a complete mess! After just 3 sessions of acupuncture with him, I have more movement in my neck, I no longer feel the tension in my neck and I'm able to move more freely! Patrick made me feel right at home! I was so nervous going in because I've never done this before, but after talking with him, I felt at ease and relaxed.

Patrick is absolutely amazing and saved me from my first trimester from hell. I suffer from HG, and the moment we began our initial consultation, I felt heard, validated, and like I was in the hands of an expert. No other health professional asked me so many detailed questions about my condition, or seemed to understand the subtle nuances of what I was experiencing. This alone is worth noting: women with HG are so often brushed off and not taken seriously. I never felt this way speaking to Patrick. After my first session, I didn't experience much relief, so he changed his approach, and after the

Patrick has a sorting personality that makes you feel comfortable before, during and after treatment. Always Checking in to see how you did after your last appointment. Very professional with a healing touch.
Office area is peaceful and soothing.
I would highly recommend A New Life to anyone looking to take better care of their body.

As a chiropractor and acupuncturist I am always getting worn out physically from treating and occasionally I'll get colds from patients. The moment something starts to bother me I immediately call Patrick and he always fits me in his busy schedule. I appreciate his ability to connect with me and he typically gets me better in a very quick period of time. It should be known that when I have trouble with my women's health patients I send them his way too because I know he will help wonders!

Patrick was extremely thorough and helpful. He spent a long time with me using various techniques to get me relaxed and "open" for labor. In the end, it seemed to have worked. Patrick is professional and kind, and I felt I was in very good hands. I would highly recommend him, especially for pregnancy and childbirth.
