We are currently taking Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) insurance, Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) insurance. OUT OF NETWORK INSURANCE: If your health insurance plan includes out of network coverage for acupuncture and/or massage then you are eligible for reimbursement for however much your plan covers.
Acupuncture works by using hair-thin needles to access Qi (pronounced "chee") and help your body heal itself naturally. Based on numerous studies, we have come to believe that the word "Qi" has been incorrectly translated as "energy"; and that a more accurate translation would be "circulation". Proven to increase circulation and blood flow to specific areas of the body, circulation is the key to how acupuncture works.
Pain can be the ultimate show stopper, causing a significant decrease in our quality of living. We address chronic pain, arthritis, pain from autoimmune disease, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, motor vehicle accidents and trauma. Manage pain naturally by creating a treatment plan that blends the best holistic modalities for your needs.

Monica at Inner Strength is an exceptional acupuncture practitioner. She has been treating our son who has been dealing with chronic pain for more than two years. This is the first treatment that has eased his pain after trying several kinds of therapy and advice of Western medicine specialists from the Mayo Clinic to Seattle Children’s. We are so grateful for her practice and giving our son his life back. Alan is also a great massage therapist. Several family members recommend him as well!

Monica is a talented acupuncturist and healer. I came to see her after a year of chronic pain flairs and many years of emotional exhaustion. Not only is her trauma-informed approach bringing me immense relief, she has also worked with my other practitioners on a plan of action. I haven't received this level of care anywhere else, and I cannot recommend her enough!

When I received Acupuncture from Monica, I knew I had found the right Acupuncturist for my sensitive body. I had been receiving Acupuncture for 5 years prior and never found someone so delicate in their placement of each needle. Her style and technique made me feel relaxed during each session I had with her. I could tell she really cared about my personal health story and integrated questions and comments during each session that aligned with where my body was at each week. Her delicate touch and practice is aligned with her soft nature. Thank you Monica for all of your support!

Monica has given me a much greater understanding of how my body works & how Traditional Chinese Medicine can help heal illness.
She brought peace my mind & body. My results were literally immediate.
(I have had acupuncture before w/ other practitioners. Monica is in a different league)
She REALLY knows her stuff.
She is a true healer.
