Acupuncture is one of the primary tools a Chinese medicine practitioner uses to restore balance, alleviate pain and prevent disease. In traditional Chinese medicine, the abundant and smooth flow of qi in the body is central to overall health. After thousands of years of empirical research, Chinese medicine doctors have mapped out a network of channels or pathways called meridians through which qi flows in the body.
Acupuncture points are distinct sites along these channel pathways where qi can be accessed most readily. Acupuncture is the insertion of fine, sterile, and disposable needles into specific locations of the body to elicit a therapeutic response.
Illness or disease can be the result of poor qi circulation, qi flowing in an unhealthy direction, or insufficient qi in a particular area of the body. Acupuncture can disperse qi stagnation, redirect qi movement, or concentrate qi in a specific area in order to restore optimal and sufficient flow throughout the body.
Acupuncture works to facilitate the flow of lymph- and oxygen-rich blood, remove obstructions in the muscles and nerves, trigger hormonal release, and relax the nervous system. Aside from addressing the chief complaint, some of the immediate benefits of an acupuncture treatment include deeper breathing, improved digestion, better sleeping patterns, relaxation, decrease in pain, and a general sense of well-being.

The natural world carries such incredible healing potential. Herbal medicine is the administration of herbs in specific, therapeutic doses dependent on the condition. Based on a patient’s unique symptoms and presentation, a combination of herbs is selected to treat the symptoms, achieve better balance in the body, and prevent the onset of symptoms in the future. Herbal formulas are most commonly administered in pills, powders, tinctures, or as dried herbs that are prepared as boiled tea called a decoction. For some conditions, herbs are prepared for topical application or for soaking. Herbs are also used in moxibustion, an important modality in Chinese medicine. In moxibustion, a preparation of ai ye (Artemesia argyi folium, aka mugwort) is burned and held over the surface of the skin to introduce a deeply warming, moving, supportive energy to the body.

Sound healing is the use of instruments or the voice to change the balance of the body from dis-ease or dis-harmony to ease and harmony. A person who practices sound healing makes use of the vibrations that instruments create to initiate a healing response from the body.

Sound healing is the use of instruments or the voice to change the balance of the body from dis-ease or dis-harmony to ease and harmony. A person who practices sound healing makes use of the vibrations that instruments create to initiate a healing response from the body. When placed on the body, the vibrations from the tuning forks set up sound waves that travel through the body. Because the human body is made up of roughly 70% water, sound waves easily travel through like ripples in a pond. These ripples can break up physical blocks like tight muscles, or emotional blocks like stuck feelings.
The goal of Sound Healing is to use vibrational frequencies specifically attuned to promote relaxation. If you have ever felt overstimulated or over-stressed by a harsh or chaotic environment, think about how good it feels when you step away from that jarring stimulus and replace it with something soothing. Sound waves, provided by sound tools applied directly to the body, can be a powerful agent in creating this transformation. When your body begins to relax, the healing process can begin.

Kambo is a non-psychoactive traditional Amazonian medicine used in ceremony that is derived from the Giant Monkey Frog (Also called the Giant Green Leaf Frog), or Phyllomedusa bicolour. Kambo comes from the frog’s skin secretion and is carefully collected without harm to the frog. The secretion is applied through superficial burns made into the skin.
Kambo acts on the whole being balancing mind, body, spirit & emotional realms, returning the subtle energy body into harmony.
In the Amazon Rainforest, this medicine is known to bring happiness to those who take it, to bring luck, and to unblock and circulate the heart chakra among many other benefits.
Research conducted since the 1980s has shown the chemical makeup of kambo to contain short chains of amino acids, known as peptides, that affect gastrointestinal muscles and blood circulation as well as stimulate the adrenal cortex and pituitary gland in the brain.

Rapéh is a legal sacred shamanic medicine that has been used by healers of the Amazon basin for thousands of years. It is pronounced ‘ha-peh’ in English, but is also referred to as ‘hape’, ‘hapi’, or ‘rapay’ by Westerners. Rapéh is a complex blend of pulverized Amazonian medicinal plants, trees, leaves, seeds, tobacco, and other sacred ingredients.
Rapéh works with the element of air. In the act of blowing we receive the blessing from Grandfather Wind, universal source of energy, which cleanses our understanding, clearing the mind and opening the energetic pathways to help us re-connect with the highest part of our being.
This spirit helps to eliminate entities and energetic parasites, expelling mucus and clearing up the sinuses. After receiving rapéh, the medicine moves upward, cleaning, ordering and re-aligning our auric field, minds and hearts. This medicine especially focuses on the the third eye and crown chakras, as well as the spine. However, I carry blends which have been curated for each individual chakra and the healing energy of the medicine can be directed for such circumstances.
Rapéh is a medicine of grounding for empaths, as the spirit of tobacco helps to earth us and offer protection. It has also been said that this medicine helps to boost immunity and decalcify the pineal gland. In the realm of Chinese medicine, it enters the lung and large intestine meridians, helping us to further move into our embodiment and bring our experiences into the flesh.
