Finding the Courage Needed

There are 6 types of courage required to navigate a pandemic. Physical courage helps us keep strength, balance and resilience. Social courage gives us the ability to be yourself unapologetically when tough decisions need to be made. Emotional courage welcomes the permission needed to feel all our emotions without guilt or shame, learning from our experiences. Intellectual courage strengthens our back bone to do the right thing even when uncomfortable or unprecedented. Spiritual courage allows us to live with purpose and meaning with a compassionate heart with one’s self and others.

No More Headaches

Stress. Poor circulation. Adrenal imbalance. Liver toxins. Sinus pressure. Eye strain. Hormonal imbalance. Cerebellar (brain) fatigue. What do these have in common? They can all cause headaches and migraines. When you find out what triggers the headaches, you can treat the cause, not just the symptoms. One of the most effective ways to do this is with computerized Biofeedback testing and Bioresonance treatment. If an area of the body that causes headaches/migraines is found to be deficient, Bioresonance can be used to stimulate the area to help it function properly. Remember. Treating the cause = no more headaches!

Acupuncture for Stronger Immunity

As we head into the flu season this year, we have both the flu and COVID-19 to contend with. With no COVID-19 vaccine yet available, we must do our best to follow COVID-19 guidelines and make the right choices to keep our immune system strong. Acupuncture has been shown to increase the number of T cells the body produces, which help to destroy harmful viruses in the body. Increased production of T cells and white blood cells results in a stronger immune system, which means you may have less severe symptoms and a quicker recovery if you do get sick.
