Five Element Acupuncture:

Dr. Christine practices the transformational style of Acupuncture called “5 Element Acupuncture”. 5 Element Acupuncture is a more subtle, energetic form of Acupuncture that works particularly well for mental and emotional problems and for overall gentle rebalancing of the body's energetic makeup. 5E diagnoses and treats the cause of the illnesses that arise when spirit is not fully integrated into our lives. This lack of integration causes great unhappiness, alienation and disease in the modern world.

Shonishin – Pediatric Acupuncture:

 Dr. Christine is also trained in the gentle Japanese pediatric style of Shonishin Acupuncture. She treats children from birth to 12 years old (after which they can receive regular acupuncture treatments). Shonishin focuses on gentle, specialized, mostly non-inserted treatment techniques that children find comfortable and even pleasurable. Dramatic results can be obtained even with very light treatment.
