Acupuncture is holistic and looks at all aspects of a person and all body systems and how one system or function affects the other. Are you ready to take back control of your health, and live a life of balance and vitality?. I assume you are here because you're feeling discouraged, stressed, and stuck in your life.
Chronic pain and or a chronic health issue has reached a point where it feels like it's taking over your life and holding you back. Whether it's from long term stress, a bad injury, repetitive strain, food choices, or hormonal issues, something in your life got you and your health off track. Stress and anxiety are at an all time high, and some days it feels like your health is spiraling downward.

Heidi Botnick O'Hare has helped all of my family members over the last 5 years for different issues. She is kind and caring and truly works to get at the root of each individual issue. I would highly recommend her! My struggles with insomnia and anxiety related to thyroid issues led me to Heidi. Heidi is a very skilled acupuncturist - she took the time to really get to know me as a whole person.
It is based upon the idea that we have a system of meridians or flow of energy that runs throughout the body. The Chinese call this energy qi (pronounced chee). These meridians are also energetically connected to each of our main organ systems. When this flow of energy is running smoothly, we have health and wellness.
Cupping is a technique that uses suction to relieve qi and blood stagnation. A vacuum is created between a glass cup and the skin either through a pump or through heat. This process brings blood and qi to the superficial layers of the skin and fascia, thereby promoting circulation and free flow. Once the cups are removed patients will often find reddish circles where the cups were placed, which typically fades in a few days.
Over the past 5-7 years of my practice I have found that there is an increasing need and desire among many of my patients for nutritional guidance and lifestyle changes to achieve the health they want. I've seen an increase in people suffering with food sensitivities, poor digestion, weight gain that just won't budge, candida and autoimmune conditions.
Chinese Herbal Medicine is a service that we offer in conjunction with acupuncture treatment or as a separate service. Herbs can be a wonderful adjunct to acupuncture or as a stand alone therapy. The type of herbal medicine I practice is Kampo, which comes out of the Japanese tradition. The formulas I use are often smaller (less herbs), and reassessments often have to be made within 1-2 weeks of being on a formula.

Heidi has treated me for many years for a number of different issues. I ended up turning to acupuncture after western medicine was unsuccessful. I also did not like relying on traditional pain medications. Heidi has helped relieve my seasonal allergies and my lower back pain. She is extremely caring and I feel confident she can provide help in many situations.

I have experienced mild to severe neck pain, jaw pain and vertigo for 3 plus years. I have seen many many practitioners, doctors, surgeons, chiropractors, physical therapist and vertigo specialists. While I have been diagnosed with different issues, no one could alleviate my pain or vertigo. As a "last resort" I decided to give acupuncture a try..... Heidi is a true healer. I can't say enough about her practice, knowledge or ability to really listen and honestly give feedback. I have for the first time in years found relief through her work and could not be more grateful for her amazing and vast

I have seen Heidi on and off for a few years and for different reasons. Originally I went to go see her for knee and back pain. She helped me tremendously! More recently I saw her for tendonitis in my bicep and again she was able to give me relief. She is kind, respectful, listens and explains what she is doing and why she is doing it. I would recommend Heidi as an acupuncturist anytime.
