For many Americans, stress and anxiety are an all too familiar part of life. The recent disruptions to our relationships, work, school, and economy from the COVID 19 pandemic are having profound consequences on how we respond to stress physically and emotionally. Stress is harmful to our bodies. Long-term or excessive stress can lead to hormonal imbalance, increased blood pressure, sleep issues, weight gain, digestive issues, dermatological problems, body aches and pain, as well as substance abuse.

​

The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach to disharmony in the body is to identify the core imbalances in the channels and primary organs and recenter them, leading to lasting improvements. Our emotions are heavily tied to the health and coexistence of our organs. For example, our liver is paired with anger, the spleen with worry, the kidneys with fear, and so on. When we exhibit signs of emotional distress, our practitioner may look to the health of the organs which pair with our disharmonious emotional state. Most patients find the session itself calming and relaxing.
