Treatment Philosophy

The value of Alternative Medicine is that it is gentle and non-invasive. It nurtures and helps the patient achieve recovery from the trauma of severe injury and illnesses. This Kansas City Acupuncturist provides all-natural, non-surgical, non-pharmaceutical pain relief, the elimination of tension and stress, the prevention of illness, and a dramatic improvement in health and vitality.

“Within every human being is a perfect heaven, whole and unbroken”

At Acupuncture for Optimal Health, educating, empowering and supporting my patients is the cornerstone of my practice. Every one person is unique and highly individual. Decades of training in Acupuncture allows me to perceive their specific health issues and to help them heal.

Great job

Thanks for doing such a great job with my in-laws. They were hesitant to try acupuncture at their age [mid-70’s]. You made their first experience a winner. I’m confident that they will continue with acupuncture treatments when they return home.
