Values and Ethics
I am a holistic practitioner in the truest sense. I seek to work with every level of a person, from the physical to the emotional, psychological, ancestral, and transpersonal. I use acupuncture not just as a physical therapy but as a tool for self-transformation, psychological evolution, emotional and physical healing, as an adjunct to personal yoga/meditation practices, and even consciousness expansion and work at the alchemical level. There are no limitations because the systems that acupuncture utilizes are informed by the universal underlying energetic patterns that govern our very existence in form.
One of the highest applications of acupuncture is very simply to cultivate vitality and health (aka preventative maintenance and growth). The systems of assessment utilized by acupuncturists allow us to see the imbalances that will lead to disease in the future. So we are able to correct these imbalances before the disease emerges as a set of symptoms. As the saying goes - an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. So the real strength of acupuncture is to prevent disease in the first place - and then to go beyond what is considered "normal and healthy" and into uncharted new areas of health and vitality. We simply seek to move from one state to a more desirable state. This is how holistic medicine works. We are not fighting disease, but cultivating health. What you resist persists. Perpetuating a mental context of illness will only keep you sick! By enforcing new contexts we can create new realities. Literally any aspect of your life can be addressed through the application of meridian system knowledge. Going beyond the reactive pathology model - what do you want more of? How do you want to feel? How do you want to behave?
Having said that, obviously pathologies are the communications from our body as to what our imbalances are and how to go about correcting them. So what kinds of imbalances can acupuncture address? Literally anything. All of the reasons you would go to a psychotherapist can be addressed directly through the meridian system, bypassing the ultimate origin of most imbalances - the rational mind. Any desired behavior change, the "adhd" cluster of energetic trauma symptoms, emotional imbalances, "mental illness" of all kinds, the list is endless. Anything you would go to a neurologist for, also can be addressed through acupuncture. Anything you would see an MD for, outside of emergency medicine, can be addressed through acupuncture. The difference between acupuncture and these other modalities is that we will look at you from a decentralized individual perspective and seek to understand the deeper levels that need to be addressed so you can actually heal and move on to a more complete version of yourself. Solve et Coagula is very relevant here.
I also practice a specific system of acupuncture called Esoteric Acupuncture. This system was devised by Dr. Mikio Sankey. In his own words - “The power of acupuncture is to harmonize and strengthen the body systems before a disease stage, but the power of Esoteric Acupuncture is to work with expanding consciousness and strengthen the root which is our Higher, Inner Spiritual Heart Center.” This approach to acupuncture was the sole motivation for my pursuit of an acupuncture license. In fact I think this is the heart of the matter (pun intended) for literally all healing. Then, during my first year of school I discovered Dr. Sankey and found his viewpoint is perfectly aligned with my own. His pioneering work meant I did not have to re-invent the wheel. I have worked with his system and found great value in its practice, and also merged his ideas with my own. This context for acupuncture is very rare at this point in time, and yet the future will show that this is in fact the heart of, and highest application, of meridian system knowledge.
I also love helping people recover from motor vehicle accidents. I understand both the experience and the recovery process as a result of a serious accident I was involved in years ago. The process can be confusing and frustrating and the long term implications are serious. Having an understanding of the layers of MVA trauma and recovery is essential to getting it right and avoiding regret down the road. Many people aren’t aware that their auto insurance covers acupuncture treatments after an accident. If you would like to learn more about MVA insurance feel free to email with any questions.
Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts, and I hope to hear from you! Feel free to reach out with any questions of any kind.
