History

Established in 2010.

The Green Leaf was started to help people feel better and we love to make people become active participants in their healing. So much of medicine is having things done onto you. Through the palpation and reflex release style used in treatments, patients get to discover the root cause of their issues and witness how acupuncture unlocks the body’s ability to heal itself.

A common misconception about acupuncture is that, like a pain pill, it is a temporary treatment for pain and you have to keep going to get relief. In reality, acupuncture functionally restores body systems. Once restored, the pain naturally goes away without indefinite treatments.

As a child, I collected herbs and plant specimens for my «potions» and would often splint my teddy’s broken arm. I have always wanted to help people feel better. As an adult, I got my degree in biochemistry and went to work for a pharmaceutical company to find the cure for cancer. What I found was a broken system that focused on the body in separate pieces rather than as a whole. I chose to study acupuncture and herbal systems from East Asian medicine because I see that they truly treat the body from this viewpoint and hence have the most lasting and most positive effect on health.

The method of acupuncture that I employ is quite different than what most people are used to. The style of acupuncture uses a highly systematized method of palpation of the abdomen and other reflexes to treat the root of your issues. This method allows for instant feedback of the patient’s condition as well as immediate relief.
