WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Yes, the process really works!

“I had issues with my digestion that I hadn’t acknowledged until Rachel starting asking me questions. By the end of the summer I was in the hospital having emergency surgery for a twisted intestine. My body had been telling me for quite some time that something wasn’t right. After 6 months and 1 major surgery I couldn’t imagine not having Rachel and acupuncture as a part of my healing process and health maintenance routine.”

Why our approach works

Comprehensive Perspective
Integrative Chinese medicine is an ancient medicine practiced in the modern world utilizing the best practices available today, including cutting-edge lab tests, epigenetics and current research on diet and treatment.

 

Spark Your Natural Healing Ability
Integrative Chinese medicine uses acupuncture, bodywork, herbs and supplements to stimulate your body’s own self-regulatory capacity. Chinese medicine and nutritional support are sciences, with rich bodies of research to back them up. They are also medical arts; we treat the body and then carefully observe its responses, fine-tuning treatments as the healing process unfolds. Whether you are on sleep or depression medications or not, Dr. Farber can support you to manage the stress response in a new way.

 

Root Cause
Traditional Chinese medicine is also called “Root and Branch” medicine. The branch is the symptom—in this case stress, insomnia and addictions. The root is the real problem. Patients come to the clinic searching for relief from the branch symptom, but we focus on healing the root to eliminate the symptom for the long-term, rather than a quick fix that leaves you more depleted than when you started.

 

It Feels Great
Although physiological landscapes vary widely and lab testing often helps to pinpoint exactly what is going on, a common cornerstone of treatment in this day and age is stress reduction. Dr. Farber has 25+ years of experience doing massage and bodywork and she employs her skills to relax patients and put them at ease in a soothing, warm healing space. Relaxation calms the adrenal system, disarming the fight or flight mechanism that has become rampant in our society.
