You can’t change the world all at once but you can change yourself, and in so doing, transform the world.
Having a “quality of life” means experiencing good health and functioning at the optimal level. This is the basis of AOM, short and simple. The foundations of good health are: possessing physical and inner strength, physical and psychological flexibility, and the ability to return to a mental state of calm when life brings its inevitable shocks, be they delightful or not. As the Greek saying goes, “sound body, sound mind.”
Acupuncture will restore and maintain your health and well-being, and we discuss the skills necessary to put you back in charge of your own health. Chinese medicine treats symptoms, yes, but it goes deeper, to the heart of the problem. When we work together to improve the dynamic balance of your health, your treatments are more powerful and long-lasting.
What you do in your everyday life is as important as treatment, because it is sustained treatment that you do for yourself. The most obvious areas we all have control over is what we eat and how we move, two essential areas in building and maintaining qi. Other accessible areas are choosing to view life’s bumps and curves from a positive perspective, choosing companionship that resonates in such a way that it brings out our best, and spending our time wisely.
