Acupuncture & Herbs

At our clinic, acupuncture is practiced as a deeply attentive, collaborative, and individualized healing art. Both Elizabeth and Lauren share a gentle, listening-based approach that prioritizes patient comfort, nervous system regulation, and creating a space where you feel truly seen and supported. Treatments are never rushed or formulaic; instead, they unfold through careful observation, thoughtful questions, and responsiveness to what your body is communicating in the moment.

Elizabeth’s work is grounded in advanced training in several Japanese acupuncture styles, including Meridian Therapy and Kiiko Matsumoto style acupuncture. Japanese acupuncture places a strong emphasis on palpation—diagnostic and therapeutic touch used to assess the body’s patterns and guide treatment in real time. This hands-on approach allows for highly precise, minimally invasive treatments using very fine needles and gentle techniques, often with the support of a guide tube to make insertion as comfortable as possible. The result is a calming, restorative experience that helps ease the body into a state most conducive to healing.

Lauren brings her own complementary lens to treatment, shaped by her background in health coaching and training in multiple acupuncture styles, including Dr. Tan, Sa’am, and Traditional Chinese acupuncture. Her work is rooted in curiosity, compassion, and whole-person care, with a special interest in women’s health, fertility support, and stress and anxiety. With experience in both Western and Chinese herbal medicine, Lauren weaves lifestyle awareness, herbal support, and acupuncture together to help patients build sustainable, integrative wellness from the inside out.

Together, Elizabeth and Lauren offer different perspectives united by the same intention: to meet you where you are, listen closely, and support your body’s innate capacity to heal.

Herbal Medicine

In addition to acupuncture, Dr. Elizabeth is also a board certified herbalist, currently training in the Tian Lineage of Canonical Chinese Medicine. This is a sophisticated and complex healing modality that can be used for many internal and external conditions.

Multiple substances are combined to create a synergistic effect, like baking a cake. You take raw ingredients, combine them with heat for a length of time, and end up with something greater than the sum of its parts. Chinese herbal formulas take the whole person into account, formulated not only to treat a symptom, but to treat the root cause, so that you eventually don’t need the herbs anymore.
