Overall Health & Wellbeing
The intention is to keep you healthy. This is the essence of Chinese Medicine where prevention prevails in cure.

We usually visit the doctor when we are symptomatic/unwell. Rarely do we see a doctor to maintain our health or promote wellness. The modern western care model is treatment, rarely prevention.
This is antithetical to the basis of Chinese Medicine. In ancient China, you paid your physician, who was an acupuncturist and a herbalist when you were healthy or to maintain your health. If you were sick, the treatment was free.
Overall Health + Wellbeing
The question is: do you consider yourself healthy?
This is completely subjective. Your definition of health is different from my definition of heath, from your partner/parents/friends’ definition of health.
Then the next question is: if you do consider yourself to be healthy, are you symptoms-free? Most people would say no. Many of us have something to work with - low back pain, hormonal headaches, weak digestion, insomnia, stress, anxiety, a poor immunity. These symptoms, if not addressed and treated, can result in you being unhealthy and then, ultimately, in you needing treatment and care.
One of your greatest tools is to be able to listen to and understand your body. This is preventative medicine at its finest.
Let’s work to keep you healthy.
That means no pain, restful sleep, strong digestion, robust immunity, balanced moods, regulated hormones, and success moderating your stress responses.
