Foster Wellness

Being present. Knowing one's body. Observing the mind free from distraction. Feeling healthy.

This is wellness. There are a plethora of methods available to achieve this, from exercise and meditation to regular therapeutic treatments. Acupuncture, massage, and Chinese herbs provide access to wellness both during and after the actual event: the somatic, mental, and emotional effects of any of these treatments can last long after the actual session is complete.

As a practitioner, I strive to help my clients and patients enhance their current state of health. This includes those dealing with a physical injury, a chronic or acute internal condition, stress, or those who are looking to supplement an established physical regimen with bodywork. The term "health" has both objective and subjective definitions. For more on my views of the term, please click here.

Please explore this site to learn more about ways to foster your own wellness. Call or email me with questions about any aspect of my services, including techniques and rates, or to schedule an appointment at my Seattle clinic.
