Tobey Williamson is licensed to practice acupuncture and herbal medicine in Maine and Hawaii and is a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine L.Ac. Concurrent with his Master's program, Tobey also completed a rigorous clinical apprenticeship under master acupuncturist, Dr. Chieko Maekawa, L.Ac., Ph. D., founder of the Seitai Shinpo Acupuncture Foundation.
Several thousand years ago, East Asian medical practitioners discovered that the body develops disharmonies as a result of the various physical and mental stresses of life. These ancient physicians soon learned that inserting thin needles into the precise points on the body and burning the herb Artemesia vulgaris on the skin helped to relieve pain and other symptoms of disharmony.
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 symptoms associated with cancer.
Sotai Ho uses simple movements and breath work to release muscular restrictions and bring the body back into alignment with its natural gravitational center. Dr. Hashimoto found the easiest way to release these restrictions was to listen to the body's own wisdom to avoid pain and move into the direction of ease.
Many first-time patients are concerned that acupuncture needles will feel like hypodermic injections at the doctor's office, but they won't. The intake process will involve questions about your current state of health, past illnesses, and family history. Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Herbal Medicines and Sotai Ho Movement Therapies work by activating the body's own healing powers, so they can be beneficial for many health conditions.

I am in the health field and have had acupuncture for many years.
I recently started visits with Tobey and felt his style of acupuncture treatment provided quality and quantity time with my issues.
What was even more exciting, within 2-3 days I was totally on the mend!
I also appreciate his ability to teach and communicate as part of treatment. Thank you, Lydia Weiss RN

Today I was so grateful to receive a treatment that finally knocked down the nausea and headache that had been lingering after a sickness a few days ago. Tobey has saved me many times- including when my back went out when I was 8 months pregnant. His treatments always leave me super relaxed and thinking that I need to make it a regular part of my wellness plan.
