Wellness Programs offered at Nashville Healing Arts include:

Weight Loss:
Acupuncture combined with herbal medicine is an effective method for promoting gradual and healthy weight loss. Energy points are stimulated to suppress appetite, increase body metabolism, and speed up the breakdown of fatty tissues . This convenient procedure is combined with my holistic approach that addresses root issues that cause chronic weight gain including emotional stress, compulsion and hormone imbalances.

Stop Smoking:
Acupuncture is very effective for controlling the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. A typical course of treatment involves several visits during the initial withdrawal phase to manage patient stress and reduce cravings. Techniques from the Weight Loss program may be combined to suppress appetite and prevent weight gain that often follows nicotine withdrawal. Subsequent treatment is focused on detoxifying body and strengthening the lungs and immune system.

Seasonal Allergy and Sinus Relief:
This innovative program combines acupuncture, herbs and lifestyle instruction to alleviate the seasonal allergies and nasal congestion. For many patients it reduces the occurrence and severity of sinus infection as well as reliance on pharmaceutical antibiotics and allergy medications.

Headache and Migraine Relief:
This program is designed specifically to relieve the most common forms of migraine and tension headaches, addressing both acute and chronic aspects by treating their underlying causes such hormonal imbalances, allergies, emotional stress and muscular imbalances that perpetuate them.

Fertility and Reproductive Health:
Acupuncture offers many therapeutic alternatives for women's health. It is safe and effective at treating complaints associated with hormonal imbalances and fluctuations. Some of the conditions I treat with acupuncture and herbal medicine include migraine headaches, irregular or painful menstruation, profuse or intermittent bleeding, uterine fibroids, endometriosis and infertility.
Acupuncture can be combined with ART and IVF to enhance fertility and conception by supporting natural hormonal cycles and alleviating emotional stress. Because expecting mothers often discontinue prescription medications during pregnancy, I can treat these conditions with acupuncture to naturally alleviate nausea and vomiting, low backaches, depression, anxiety and fatigue.

Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation is a holistic cosmetic technique and an effective treatment for revitalizing the face and body. It is a non-surgical method of reducing the signs of the aging process as well creating a deep feeling of relaxation and well-being. Acupuncture Facial Rejuvenation may also be used prior to traditional cosmetic surgery to enhance the benefits by reducing scarring and recovery time.

A course of treatment consists of 6 to 12 weekly sessions, followed by monthly maintenance sessions as needed. A schedule of monthly treatment is usually recommended to maintain and enhance the cosmetic benefits.
