Are you, or is someone you love feeling stressed, anxious, or worried? Are you tired of western medicine throwing pharmaceuticals at every problem? My healing practice offers acupuncture and/or herbal medicine in an integrated program, drawing on classical Chinese medicine for an effective approach to stress, pain, and other health concerns.

You can have a virtual appointment from the comfort and safety of your own home. I can also mail your herbs and supplements directly to you.

Dr. Strass has helped balance my physical and emotional body in various ways through acupuncture. Lumber and SI pain, stress, anxiety, and symptoms of seasonal affective disorder are lessened. Most of all, I couldn’t believe the intense release of long-held (childhood) trauma after my first session with Dr. Strass. In a sense acupuncture with Dr. Strass has done more good than years of talk therapy, medical interventions, PT, or even Yoga Therapy for me. It may have been the combination of all these efforts, however, I’m pretty certain it had to do mostly with Dr. Strass’s skill set.

I have been seeing Dr. Strass for almost 10 years. She has supported my health through divorce and my struggles with MS. She has used numerous modalities to address the simple headaches to bladder and bowel issues and many other challenges due to MS. I am a calmer, more peaceful and healthier person as a result of acupuncture and Dr. Strass’ s abilities.

Dr Strass is an amazingly skilled acupuncturist. I was actually referred to her by my chiropractor who said she was the best acupuncturist he’d ever been to. That was evidence enough for me to give her a call and I can say that he wasn’t wrong, she has really worked wonders for me. She has remedied my aching ear, my urinary frequency, my lower gut upset and my lower back pain. I resolutely recommend this extraordinarily talented acupuncturist.

I have been seeing Dr. Strass for over 7 years for relief from sinus pain and for general well-being. For years I took ibuprofen every day to relieve significant sinus pain. Within the first few sessions I was able to completely stop taking the medicine! Rachel has also helped with relieving stress and has helped alleviate other aches and pains as they come up. I highly recommend Rachel!!
