About

I am a therapist for Chinese Medicine in Ann Arbor/MI. As a main subject I practice acupuncture. I usually combine acupuncture with Chinese Herbal Medicine to increase the range and efficiency of the therapy. A combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs makes the therapy of chronic and systematic progressing conditions possible, which are more stubborn; for example progressed endometriosis, several skin disorders or chronic diarrhea. 

My session usually last 90 Minutes. They usually start with an update after an initial diagnosis and I adjust my acupuncture prescription accordingly. (I keep for every single patient a Patient report.)

​

Every session includes a massage in prone position.
