Testimonials
After trying for a year to conceive, one month of acupuncture blessed us with a little man. I was highly recommended to Meredith after my sister had a very similar experience and also got pregnant after a month with Meredith. Can’t say enough great things about her!!… Read the rest
I went to Meredith for severe leg pains that I’ve suffered with for over 10 yrs. It affected my performance on the treadmill and kept me awake every night. After 3 treatments, I was pain free and back to running as well as sleeping much better.… Read the rest
Meredith has helped me with acupuncture for many issues over the years.

Meredith is the only acupuncturist that I trust. She is one of the few that have high level certifications and licenses in the area as well as having a masters in acupunture. While also researching for acupuncturist, I made sure she did not do any wierd buddha?… Read the rest
“When I first began working with Meredith, I quickly learned that she knew infinitely more about fertility acupuncture treatments than any other practitioner I had worked with. Her extensive knowledge helped me to learn what to expect- not only while in her office, but when working with my doctors.… Read the rest
I came to Meredith and Kim for treatment of a pinched nerve. The ensuing stiffness and pain from the affected nerve caused systemic stiffness which made it difficult to run or move. Since receiving treatment (only 3 total visits between Kim and Meredith so far!), nearly all the stiffness in my legs and neck has completely dissipated, resulting in increased flexibility and dramatically less pain.… Read the rest
“I began acupuncture treatments several years ago at my mother-in-law’s suggestion. She was being treated for chemical sensitivity/allergy issues, and found that she was improving greatly.

“I had been trying to conceive my second child for almost 2 years-I had been diagnosed w/ PCOS & had very irregular cycles. I decided to try acupuncture to see if that would help & after less than 6 months of treatments from Meredith, my cycles became more regular than they had been in years-soon after I got pregnant naturally-even after going through several low-invasive fertility treatments- my son is now 4 months old!”

Migraines. Stress. Migraines. Fatigue. Migraines. Just about every single day I experienced these issues, often to debilitating extents. And I’d tried everything from counseling to massage to pills, but none of it worked. When I finally got tired of feeling like a pharmacy I took a good look at my needle-phobic self and decided “What the heck?”, it definitely can’t be any worse and scanned the phone book and web for acupuncturists in my area.… Read the rest

Food Color and Nutrition
In Chinese medical theory, food is considered medicine. Food has qualities and functions biochemically and energetically that target specific organs. Not only that, but the action a particular food takes to benefit that organ in terms of taste, color and temperature is what is included in Five Element theory. Food has a relationship to both the natural elements as well as the organs in the body and balances the elements of fire, earth, metal, water and wood to healthy, generating cycles. continue reading
Moxibustion and Dysmenorrhea
A study conducted by Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has determined that the use of moxibustion at specific days during a woman’s menstrual cycle can decrease pain associated with menstruation. Dysmenorrhea or painful menstruation is a big problem for many women. This study used moxibustion, an accessory modality of TCM, to treat the pain associated with menstruation. The study and its systematic review showed moxibustion treatments were more effective at relieving pain only when the moxibustion began prior to the onset of actual menstruation. This is also the theory behind Traditional Chinese Medicine, that it should be used as preventive care. The efficacy of using moxibustion during the premenstrual time period holds great promise for those who are debilitated by dysmenorrhea. continue reading
Acupuncture for Boosting Your Circulation
Healthy blood circulation is a vital component of life for human beings. Without proper blood flow, life would cease to exist. Blood isn’t the only thing that’s important, it’s what the blood is carrying that makes circulation so important. Blood carries fresh oxygen, hormones and nutrients that we absorb from our food. Without these components, the organs and tissues of the body become depleted, weakened and eventually stop functioning. Any blockages in the veins and arteries can deprive the brain and the rest of the body from the needed oxygen, which can then lead to a plethora of other medical issues. continue reading

TCM and Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease that disrupts normal function of the epithelial cells in the body. Epithelial cells line the passageways of many of our vital organs, including the lungs, liver, kidneys, reproductive system and the skin. Those who have cystic fibrosis have a defective gene that impairs epithelial cell function. This can lead to a buildup of sticky mucus throughout the body that may eventually lead to lung damage and chronic coughing, affecting how patients with cystic fibrosis breathe and filter air, digest their food and absorb the nutrients from that food. In the United States alone, there are nearly 12 million people who suffer from this disease. Unfortunately, there is no known cure and most of those affected with the disease only live into their 20s and 30s. Current modern medicine treatments focus on increasing the quality of life by managing symptoms. continue reading
4 Tips for an Energizing, Joyful Summer
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, each season is associated with one of the elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Perhaps unsurprisingly, summertime is associated with the element fire. Fire represents maximum activity. In nature, everything is at its peak growth during the summer, so TCM sees our energy as its most active and exuberant. Summer is the time of year with the most yang energy, which is all about excitement and assertiveness. continue reading
Healthy Eating from Early to Late Summer
Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM is all about balance. In this ancient system, the key to health is to move through the world in such a way that our bodies can remain in homeostasis, in balance. This idea connects to sleep patterns, what we eat and ultimately the flow of Qi, or energy, throughout the body. For that reason, healthy eating in summertime, according to TCM, is all about using cooling foods to balance out how hot it is outside. In other words, we can find homeostasis from the inside out. continue reading
