I have been a patient of John’s for over 10 years. When I follow his instructions, I typically only need to be seen about four times a year for seasonal tuneups. When life gets in the way and I become unbalanced, it is always John I seek assistance from first.
He has helped me overcome a variety of conditions: immunity issues, nutrition, weight loss, back pain, tonsilitis, grief, asthma (I no longer use two daily inhalers), allergies, hormonal and menstrual... Read more »

Cupping + Acupuncture: More Than the Sum of its Parts
Do any of these scenarios sound like your life: a stubborn knot between the shoulder blades, a low-back flare that keeps returning, or a neck that feels “stuck” after long hours at a desk? Acupuncture needles can calm the nervous system and change pain signaling and cupping can mechanically decompress tight tissue and improve local circulation. Used together thoughtfully and Continue reading
Electroacupuncture: Ancient Wisdom, Modern Current
The clinic was quiet except for the soft hum of a small device on the treatment table. A runner lay comfortably, acupuncture needles placed along her calf and lower back to address chronic pain that kept her from her regular running routine.
Because of the chronic and nagging injury, she turned to acupuncture to find healing. But it wasn’t Continue reading
The Healing Landscape of Scalp Acupuncture
Many healing journeys begin in unexpected places. For some, recovery starts not in the muscles of the back or the ligaments of a knee, but in the quiet landscape of the scalp, an area often overlooked except for styling, washing, and the occasional headache. Yet, for many people seeking relief from neurological, physical, and emotional challenges, scalp acupuncture is Continue reading
Chinese & Japanese Acupuncture: Two Traditions, One Lineage
Both Japanese and Chinese acupuncture spring from the same classical East Asian medical roots, yet they diverged over centuries into distinct clinical styles. In Japan, techniques evolved toward gentler, highly tactile methods.
