Japanese Acupuncture

Japanese Acupuncture uses gentle needle techniques to restore balance by addressing the body's meridian system. This method focuses on palpation-based diagnosis and distal point selection to treat pain and chronic conditions without invasive procedures. Patients experience reduced inflammation and improved nervous system regulation through sessions that integrate lifestyle counseling for lasting results.

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy employs light touch to release tension in connective tissues surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This technique improves central nervous system function, alleviating migraines, chronic pain, and stress-related disorders. Sessions promote deep relaxation while addressing structural imbalances that contribute to conditions like fibromyalgia and PTSD through gentle manual adjustments.

Nutritional Counseling

Nutritional Counseling provides personalized guidance for adopting anti-inflammatory whole-food diets. The 6-week program teaches meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking techniques to reduce chronic pain and improve metabolic health. Patients receive recipe resources and behavioral support to sustain dietary changes that address conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Pain Management

Pain Management combines acupuncture, manual therapy, and movement recommendations to address musculoskeletal conditions. Treatments target nerve compression, joint inflammation, and muscular tension through non-pharmacological interventions. Patients receive individualized exercise plans to maintain mobility improvements and prevent recurrence of conditions like sciatica and frozen shoulder.

Chronic Illness Treatment

Chronic Illness Treatment addresses systemic conditions through immune-modulating acupuncture and dietary interventions. The approach helps manage symptoms of fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and digestive disorders by reducing systemic inflammation. Patients benefit from comprehensive care plans that integrate stress reduction techniques and nutritional support for long-term symptom management.

Bonnie has been a warm and gentle support as I've navigated both physical and emotional struggles. Both acupuncture and craniosacral have helped me through night sweats and heartbreak, and my sleep has been greatly improved. I highly recommend her.

Bonnie is a gifted healer and a beautiful human being. She is an excellent listener, exceedingly patient, and empathetic. Her treatments are gentle and relaxing. She is kind and reassuring and provides both excellent pain management and support for advocating for one's healthcare needs. I recommend her enthusiastically!

I can't thank Bonnie enough, I'm so thankful I found her. I don't know how else to say this but my life has really changed. I think two statements really summarize my experience with her healing abilities. I have had neck pain and stiffness for more than a decade due to injuries for which Gabapentin was prescribed. I did feel relief but I did not want to take pharmaceuticals for the rest of my life. Suffice it to say I feel as good now as I did taking Gabapentin every day.

I also had fatigue and brain fog on a daily basis for about 6 + years and my doctors told me it was probably menopause/aging and if I have to take a nap everyday.go ahead and take that nap. After just a few sessions with Bonnie I no longer have any fatigue or brain fog and I no longer waste my time taking daily naps. She is a brilliant healer with the kindness and spirit of a young girl.

I have been beyond impressed with Bonnie's careful assessments and thoughtful advice. She is very thorough and kind. I went to her with some acute musculoskeletal issues related to work and am feeling near 100% after just 3 sessions. I enjoy our visits and the professionalism.

I discovered Bonnie when I was desperate for relief from an ankle injury. After just one visit I recognized how fortunate I was to have found her. She listens deeply and treats the whole body. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to address pain or is simply looking for self-care.
