Acupuncture Ballard, Acupuncture Seattle, for mind-body connection.

Want to

  • reduce acute or chronic pain

  • regulate your sleep or digestion

  • improve your awareness and capacity

  • connect with choice, inspiration, and creativity

?

I can help you.
Here are my current one-on-one offerings:

  • Attending to wellbeing requires access to resources like trust, willingness, time, capacity, and money. Let’s talk through your specific issues, needs, and goals. I will tell you if I can help you or not and answer any questions you have about how I work. I can also refer you to other providers if wanted or needed. You can email me if that is better for you.

    15 minutes (free)

  • In-person sessions utilize any one or all of my tools: acupuncture, bodywork, and somatic coaching.

    We’ll decide together at the beginning of each session how to spend our time to best support you. This usually changes from session to session. I frequently treat the following complaints:

    • muscle aches and pain

    • digestive dysregulation

    • insomnia and poor sleep

    • skin conditions

    • headaches and migraines

    • panic attacks and anxiety

    • chronic pain

    • auto-immune conditions

    • menstrual issues

    I also support people looking for non-specific wellness care.

    60 minutes ($130) or 90 minutes ($190)

  • Making connections between what we are experiencing and what we are feeling is human instinct. It’s part of how we interpret the meaning and content of our life.

    These coaching sessions center somatic practices to access your innate feeling intelligence and embodied resilience. Noticing sensation can help you:

    • befriend your body and amplify your intuition

    • explore psychosomatic aspects of physical pain and behavioral tendencies

    • learn what inputs your body wants to take in or avoid

    • understand your unique perceptive skills and preferences

    • clarify boundaries, wants, needs, and intentions

    • attend to and integrate sad, scary, or stressful experiences

    • navigate internal conflict and make important decisions

    • regulate through transitional periods with confidence

    • connect more deeply with life, creativity, and nature

    My somatic coaching is non-directive and non-pathologizing. Conversation as well as meditation, touch, and/or movement exercises support you in discovering your feelings and discerning your self. We work with what emerges from within, following your body’s lead. 

    Most often we will agree to a set number of sessions at a time. I have also facilitated single, one-off sessions for solving specific problems.

    60 minutes ($130)

  • These confidential in-person or online sessions are for folks who are preparing for and/or integrating intentional experiences of non-ordinary consciousness. 

    Psychedelic substances amplify what’s present. Research suggests they induce a critical period of neruoplasticity which allow us to rewire our perceptive framework. These substances can offer insight into our experience and the systems we move in, and they are not a cure all, and they are not for everyone.

    I offer safety education for self-guided or facilitated psychedelic journeys for therapeutic or ceremonial purposes. Using somatic techniques, I help folks set intentions, psychologically and physiologically prepare for altered states, and integrate psychedelic experiences days, weeks, months, or years after.

    I work with individuals as well as pairs or small groups planning experiences together.

    Pair or group rates for psychedelic preparation and integration sessions are available upon request: the rate per person is lower.

    There are significant medical and legal risks associated with the use of psychedelics. My support is provided within the framework of current laws and ethical practices in the field.

    I do not offer nor provide access to illegal substances. I do not offer dosing sessions nor refer people to underground providers or resources.

  • Chinese herbal medicine has been used for centuries to cultivate health in the body. It works. Really well. It can be used to treat acute issues as well as chronic ones.

    A Chinese herbal medicine formula is a mixture of individual plant parts (and occasionally minerals or - rarely - animal substances) carefully dosed and combined to address your specific concerns. Typically a formula is prescribed for as little as a few days or as long as a few weeks, depending on what we’re addressing.

    If you’d like me to create a formula for you, simply let me know during session. It is always available as an option in our work together. I also offer telehealth consults specifically for herbal medicine.

    If you’re in the Seattle area, you’ll be able to pick up your herbs from one of several nearby herbal pharmacies. If you live elsewhere, we’ll find a local pharmacy to dispense your herbs or have the herbs shipped to you.

    The cost of the medicine is additional. Most often, you will be billed directly by the herbal pharmacy filling your prescription.

    I only work with pharmacies and suppliers whose products undergo rigorous quality evaluations and safety testing.
