Adding Gift Economy Options to Payments:

Barter & Exchange & Needs-Based Discounts

While Insurance companies, including Medicare, cover acupuncture, they have restrictions on covering Licensed Acupuncturists that include oversight by practitioners with no formal acupuncture training. Furthermore, they cover acupuncture in a very specific way that does not reflect how I practice acupuncture (I do not retain needles for long periods of time,) nor does it cover any of the other therapies that I offer. Finally, insurance does not cover me as a home health practitioner. So, while I do not work with insurance companies of any kind, I do make my services available to anyone who wants and needs them. Funding should NEVER be the reason someone doesn't receive care, nor should a lack of insurance options. If services are needed, the following are ways that I accept payment for services. I also stay open to new ideas. If you don't see a payment method that works, let's invent one. My dream is to create a global gift economy. Bottom Line: No One Should Ever Forego Care Because of Money, Credit, or Insurance Needs.

(Also...Money Shouldn't Exist As A Gateway to Health or Happiness.)

CURRENT METHOD: CASH OR BANKING METHOD

For those who choose to pay in cash, I thank you for helping me pay my rent and bills in the method required by the current banking system. Should this change and a new digital currency replaces the dollar, we will figure it out as we go. For now, Cash is Currency of Choice. You may also pay by usual banking methods of choice including credit/debit cards and electronic transfers such as Zelle, Venmo & Paypal.

We do not accept checks at this time.

NEW! BARTER & EXCHANGE

Everyone is gifted and has something to offer. We never know how we can help each other unless we get creative about the exchange of goods and services. I'm open to all ideas so that you and your family can receive the care you need without the exchange of paper money being necessary. Before you decide you can't afford the prices listed on the website, let's talk and determine if there's another way.

NEW! NEEDS-BASED DISCOUNTS

I have a list of supplies that are needed to keep this practice going. if you can contribute to the Supply List at a discounted price than those listed on the website, we are helping each other exponentially. Everything from needles to water cups is on the list and often will not break the bank, even if purchasing items in bulk.

Lastly: if you cannot afford supplies and simply need a discount, especially if struggling as an individual or family during acute illness or infection, YOU GOT IT. Everyone who knows me recognizes that if I could, I would give my services away anyway, as I believe healthcare is a right. Pay it forward and we have a deal.

HUMAN LIFE IS MORE VALUABLE THAN MONEY WILL EVER BE.

Also: we work on the honor system here. I don't need to see your finances if asking for a discount. Your word is meaningful and works for me. I don't need the details of paying it forward. I trust that positivity is a spark that carries the flame of compassion forward. Also: we feel better when we help others feel better, so we should all be in practice to encourage people to pay kindness forward.

ALL Beaufort County Service Workers Receive 10% Off EVERY Appointment

What Can Traditional Asian Medicine Treat?

Chronic Pain

Millions of Americans suffer daily through various pain syndromes. Traditional Asian Medicine works to uncover the root causes of pain and how it affects all other systems on a mind/body/spirit level.

Unlike common remedies for pain such as opioids, acupuncture is known to reduce pain without affecting normal function, allowing people to continue with their daily routines without the use of habit-forming medication that has long-term consequences. Furthermore, for those patients who wish to taper their medications while exploring other options for pain, acupuncture is known to help with the side effects of harm-reduction techniques.

With a priority on whole system healing, we focus not only on pain-reduction, but also restoration of normal functions that will help reduce chronic pain: from sleep cycle analysis, meditative movement therapies, therapeutic massage & heat therapies, nutritional assessment and seasonal eating plans, and self-care help during major seasonal and life transitions.

Mental/Emotional Health

Traditional Asian Medicine understands the role that mental health issues play in our overall health and well-being. Emotional regulation is at the heart of handling common mental health diagnoses including depression and general anxiety disorders.

Understanding that our emotional responses to stressful conditions play a role in all aspects of our well-being, it is no surprise that stress disorders are often found at the root of chronic physical pain syndromes: from tension headaches and migraines, sleep apnea and other chronic sleep disorders, complicated endocrine pathologies, cardiovascular issues such as high blood pressure, and immunological responses to disease processes.

We also understand that much of our stress has to do with things that are beyond our control: money, work, family dynamics, and the pressures of life all must be taken into consideration. With unnatural schedules that disrupt the natural cycles of life, it should come as no surprise that we struggle emotionally and mentally.

Traditional Asian Medicine works to pair your unique strengths while helping you rediscover tools and techniques that naturally restore the balance needed to handle our everyday circumstances and experiences.

Addiction Issues

Addiction to substances can come in many forms: it can take physical, emotional, financial and spiritual tolls on both individuals and their families and support networks. Acupuncture is an integrative modality that helps calm the nervous system that can lead to unhealthy relationships with everything from tobacco, alcohol, and drugs to shopping, eating, gambling, and toxic relationships.

We work to create lifestyle plans that include changes in nutrition, circadian rhythm cycles, and work-life schedules that will help curb cravings, restore regular bodily functioning and help achieve the balance that may have been disrupted with cycles of addiction.

Female Health

Women's health issues are complex and fall across more than just the obstetrics/gynecological spectrum. Traditional Asian Medicine spent thousands of years studying the unique issues that make up being female in this world. Acupuncture and, in particular, Chinese Herbs can provide remedies for symptoms arising from monthly blood loss during menstrual cycles, enhance fertility treatments, treat pain, assist in labor, help with mood regulation, and help with bone loss, loss of moisture, and extreme heat of menopause.

From the Cradle...Treating Women Throughout Their Life Cycles

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs have been used for thousands of years to treat the issues that often arise with monthly cycles for women. If you experience any of the following symptoms, please consider adding Chinese Herbs to your options for treatment:

Menarche-Related Issues: Cramping, bloating, excessive sweating, headaches or migraines, sensory sensitivities (light, sound, smell intensities,) mood swings, high emotions, heavy clotting, body aches, long periods, skipped periods, or no periods for long term.

Fertility-Related Issues: Light, skipped or no periods for at least three months, history of miscarriage, infertility of idiopathic origin, pain & mood swings during fertility treatments

Menopause-Related Issues: Night sweats, hot flashes, mood swings, high emotions, hair loss, loss of moisture, lack of sleep, inability to focus, excessive sweating, incontinence, feeling hot no matter what temperature is, lack of libido, dry skin, chronic pain or pain syndromes
