Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine via phone & in-person
Chinese herbal medicine is having a moment right now — because it works. But it’s also complicated. And that’s why health coaches and hobbyists can’t prescribe it. For the best, safest, and quickest results, you want a custom Chinese herbal medicine formula designed by a doctor in the field.

FAQs
Will you work with men, too?
1
We specialize in getting what we call “high-octane” women back in the game. At any given time, 15-20% of our patient population are teens and young children. A surprising number of men find their way to us because of our reputation for excellence and impressive results. Not everyone will qualify to work with us, but we do not turn people away because of sex, age, or gender.
How do I qualify to work with you?
2
We only work with people who are ready to take action to turn around their health. We cannot work with people who do not intend to follow our treatment plans or take their herbal medicine. At your initial consultation, we’ll clearly explain our step-by-step plan for your success.
What makes you different?
3
We evaluate from a unique East-West and systems perspective. No other acupuncturist, herbalist, functional medicine practitioner, or energy healer does what we do. We are serious about your recovery. We only offer treatment plans to people we are confident we can help. We then monitor and modify your treatment as you progress. We’re constantly doing research and will update your herbs and treatments accordingly. We’re always thinking about your case.
Do you take Health Savings Accounts (HSA), Personal Injury Protection (PIP), or Health Insurance?
4
We accept HSA cards. We are currently not accepting Worker’s Compensation. Health insurance plans do not cover Chinese herbal medicine. We are not in-network with any health plan. For acupuncture, we can provide you a Superbill to submit to your PIP for a Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) claim or to your health insurance policy. We cannot guarantee reimbursement.
