Five Element Acupuncture

Most people picture acupuncture as a few needles in the back to ease pain or tension.

But what if I told you it can also help with anxiety, fertility, migraines, emotional resilience and even a sense of purpose?

We have become accustomed to healthcare that prescribes drugs to relieve symptoms:

• Anxious? Pop a benzo.

• Depressed? SSRIs.

• ADHD? Ritalin.

But these symptoms are our body's way of communicating, telling us that something deeper is going on.

When we silence these signals, we miss the opportunity to understand what is actually going on.

This is where Acupuncture comes in.

Five Element Acupuncture is an ancient system of medicine that treats the whole person — body, mind, and spirit — rather than isolated symptoms.

In this approach, the body is broken down into five elements - Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal. Each element governs specific organs, emotions and physiological functions. Together they form an interconnected system that contributes to your overall health.

We all have one element that is weakest within us: the root cause. This weakness causes imbalance within the body’s natural cycles. By treating the root cause and unblocking stagnation, we enable the entire system to function more harmoniously, which in turn helps alleviate symptoms that are getting in the way of the calm, purposeful, resilient parts of you.

Treatments aren’t about lying on a bed with needles left in for long periods of time. Sessions are roughly split in two: part conversation, part treatment.

We spend time talking through what’s been going on for you — your health, your life, your concerns — and the treatment is shaped directly by that conversation.

Needles are inserted and removed with intention, and are rarely left in.

This isn’t a quick fix. It’s a dialogue between body and mind, guided by thousands of years of knowledge, intuition and observation.

So, if you’ve done “all the right things”,

and still don’t feel quite like yourself,

Maybe it’s time for a different kind of conversation.
