Why do we acupuncturists here at the clinic pay so much attention to diet, meditation, qigong, exercise, breathing, ergonomics, Marie Kondo-ing, and a lot more? Why are we “obsessed” (in a healthy way) with lifestyle changes and personal transformation? Because oftentimes, these parts of life are the root causes of your physical or emotional health issue! Our goal is to make you as sustainably healthy as we can—this means acupuncture to spark your healing process, and lifestyle changes and personal transformation to maintain and deepen it.
