Philosophy

Christine takes a holistic view toward the source of pain & related movement limitation disorders. After asking detailed questions, examining closely the pulse, the tongue and palpating the affected body (shape, color, temperature, marks etc.), Christine will come up with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment plan. The efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine derives from its strength in the body-mind communication and connection. Clients may find **comprehensive changes and cellular level recovery **through a long-term meeting with TCM.

“Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.” The sickness provides a great opportunity for us to enhance our life by re-reading the book of our body and its disorders. Christine would like to accompany clients to go through the re-examination/interpretation of our body, and also provide solutions for clients to resolve pains and disorders, strengthen body-mind connection and further improve our life.

Digestion (e.g. transmission& transportation of food/nutrients under TCM) is the guarantee for recovery. Christine pays great attention to digestion issues.

Gynecological disorders are the core issues for women health. Christine also treats dysmenorrhea, headache/general aching/diarrhea during period, emotional dysregulation related to period, heavy period/amenorrhea and menopause syndrome.

Christine also has special interest in treating shingles, diabetic foot & Fibromyalgia.
