But I don't like needles...

Acupuncture is one modality within the large scope of Chinese Medicine. I treat a lot of clients including children who prefer not to get acupuncture. I use the adjunctive modalities listed here to address the needs of those who want to use TCM without the needles.

Trusted care that supports your healing journey with proven acupuncture methods.

“Timoni Slusher is an amazing woman and even more amazing acupuncturist. She has assisted me with so many ailments from colds, sinus congestion, joint pain, severe muscle tightness, post surgery scar tissue mobilization and my general well being. I highly recommend her services. I'm a very satisfied client. Just plan to have a mellow day after her treatments so that your body can just relax and absorb the treatment.”

The human body possesses an enormous, astonishing, and persistent capacity to heal itself. Disease generally occurs when we abuse our bodies or deprive them of basic requirements to keep us healthy over extended periods.


Acupuncture is a minimally invasive yet remarkably effective way to tap into your body's natural resources, and boost your body's innate ability to regain homeostasis and heal.

ELEVATE YOUR PERFORMANCE

ELEVATE YOUR HEALTH

Our bodies are in a continuous, endless fight to keep unhealthy pathogens including viruses, bacteria, candida, mold, environmental chemical toxins, and inflammation. If your body becomes over-stressed, undernourished, or out of balance in any way, illness and disease are more likely to occur. Acupuncture can keep your body tuned-up and in shape to fight illness. The use of Chinese herbs is a natural, whole foods approach to giving your body a little more of what it needs to get and stay healthy!

ELEVATE YOUR LIFE

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are beneficial to general health. Life offers many challenges, and often gets stressful. Anxiety, depression and stress can cause individuals to 'just not feel right', or lack enthusiasm they once had for life. Acupuncture can be a powerful tool in managing stress and elevating quality of life, by maintaining body/mind balance, and improving digestion and metabolism. Improve your health and elevate your life!
