One of the nation’s most sought after traditional Chinese medical practices, Tao of Healing’s approach to wellness is deeply rooted in an understanding of the body's natural energy system. It focuses on the imbalances in energy, or life force, and how that impacts body, mind, emotion and spirit. It's a unique perspective based in ancient lineage teachings that views each person as completely unique and all symptoms as meaningful and very readable signs of internal energy imbalance. Our approach is rooted in the profound wisdom of Chinese medicine and its powerfully effective modalities. This wisdom tells us we are all a part of Nature and inseparably connected to it. Mirroring Nature's infinite ability to rebalance itself, we are born with a self-healing program. This means when the body is balanced it can heal itself. We view our role as assisting you to regain this essential balance and showing you how to maintain it.In addition to acupuncture and herbology, Tao of Healing offers Chinese internal martial arts classes and Qigong education and practice that builds, balances and refines energy, creating the foundation for a lifetime of self-care that has the power to transform not only health but life.
