An ancient medicine for the modern world.
Whether you are interested in treating a specific health concern or are simply looking to support your health with preventative measures, Chinese Medicine can offer a safe and time tested approach to wellness and recovery. With a history stretching back more then 2000 years, the use of acupuncture, Chinese herbal formulations, body work, dietary counseling and lifestyle suggestions are a powerful, natural and effective approach to achieve your healthcare goals.
What to expect…
Your first visit begins with a conversation. We’ll talk about your health history, current concerns, and what you’re hoping to work on. This helps guide treatment in a thoughtful, individualized way. I will also run a diagnostic test called AcuGraph that is an energy assessment tool to better understand what is happening in your system.
During the acupuncture portion, you’ll lie comfortably on a treatment table. Thin, sterile needles are gently placed at specific points on the body. Most people feel little to no discomfort—often just a brief sensation that quickly fades. Depending on what your specific case needs, you may also receive cupping, electrical stimulation, moxibustion or hands on manual therapy if indicated.
Once the needles are in place, you’ll rest quietly and have the option of having additional hands on energy work if that is of interest to you. Many people feel deeply relaxed and calm during this time. Some even fall asleep!
After treatment, it’s common to feel more grounded, relaxed, or clear-headed. Changes can be subtle or noticeable right away, and benefits often build over a series of sessions.

"Ramie is incredible! I visited a number of western medical practitioners for help with my colitis, and each simply prescribed me medications for my symptoms. When I went to Ramie, she worked to treat the cause instead. Ramie went above and beyond- diving deep into researching my condition and working with me to identify possible triggers. I felt incredibly supported and heard while working with Ramie, more so than with any other doctor or practitioner I've ever seen."

"Ramie has been an incredible healer in my life, I sing her praises to anyone in need of true healing. I came to Ramie after consulting the western medical system to no avail. I was experiencing a full menstrual bleed every week and a half and had been doing so for a year. I came to Ramie bleeding heavily, and left her office not bleeding at all. She managed to gently extend the time between my menstrual cycles until, after about four sessions of seeing her and taking the herbs she'd suggested, my menstrual cycle returned to its normal rhythm. I will be returning to her as long as I have the great privilege of living near to her practice and whenever I'm in need."

“Ramie is a kind, considerate and deeply caring person who uses her empathy to create a space for healing, insight and laughter. I have literally laughed my way through some of my most painful and embarrassing ailments and seen not only a better me evolve but actual release and physical improvement. I have actually learned how to take better care of myself AND get through some insanely awkward physical symptoms. I recommend her to every single person I meet. If you know me at all, that’s saying something.”
