Five Element Acupuncture helps create physical, physiological, mental, and emotional change through the natural energies already within us. A Five Element Acupuncture practitioner moves these energies using a treatment plan that is individually tailored to fit your present condition. Acupuncture helps create health and healing without the use of pharmaceutical drugs.
Since the focus of Five Element Acupuncture is to restore harmony and balance to our energetic system of the 12 organs, allowing the natural forces within us to do the most amazing healing possible, no condition, no illness, no disease should be excluded from the realm of acupuncture's possible effectiveness. Treatment is useful for patients of any age or condition, ranging from children to the elderly, well or seriously ill.
Five Element Acupuncture is a complete medical system that originates from the Taoist Science of the relationship between humans and nature, developed over 3000 years ago. It might be called "A Feng Shui of the Person". It is designed to transform illness through the body's own step-wise process of healing.

Traditional Oriental Medical Diagnosis consists of a thorough examination of the present condition, and a complete medical and life history. Your practitioner will combine this information with a physical assessment that includes a reading of the twelve pulses to determine the condition and level of energy in every part of the anatomy in order to determine your course of treatment. Treatment with acupuncture is the insertion of very fine needles at particular points along energy pathways or Meridians.

I have seen Mark three times and feel shifting going on that is unlike prior acupuncture that I have had. Other acupuncture treatments I have had have been based more on acute issues whereas this work is about getting to the core of my constitution and imbalances there that have created the more acute symptoms that I notice. Mark is sensitive and intuitive and is clearly a healer. The needling isn't always comfortable but I see it as moving stuck energy which then opens my body up for deeper healing.
