Many people are surprised to find that acupuncture is deeply relaxing. One of its key effects is helping the body shift into “rest and digest” mode, calming the nervous system.
Anxiety is common—about 40 million adults in the U.S. struggle with it each year. Many take medications, but these often come with side effects like fatigue, weight gain, dizziness, or sexual difficulties. That’s why so many people look for safe, drug-free options.
Anxiety affects every part of life—work, relationships, sleep, and overall health. That’s why it feels so meaningful to me to help people with this. When anxiety eases, people can think clearly, feel like themselves again, and enjoy life more fully. I especially love supporting those struggling with panic and overwhelm, because the change can be so profound.
Every patient’s anxiety pattern is unique, so acupuncture treatments are carefully tailored to your specific symptoms.
