Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine & Qigong
Our Approach
Jackie's overall goal is to teach you to heal yourself. In her 20 years of experience, she has noticed more significant healing results in those who practice qigong along with their prescribed acupuncture and herbal medicine treatments. Qigong will improve your vital energy and help maintain the results between acupuncture treatments. It will put you on a healing path where you may only need acupuncture and or herbal medicine as a tune-up a few times a year. Qigong allows you to take charge of your own health on a physical, mental, and emotional level. Ultimately, acupuncture, qigong treatments and herbal medicine will be used to support and fine tune your personal practice. We live in a culture where many people are constantly searching for the next cure all or for someone to "fix" them. At Seattle Healing Acupuncture it is our goal to empower you to heal yourself by giving you the tools through qigong to maintain your health and the support through acupuncture, qigong treatments and herbal medicine to enhance your healing process. Our intention is to support you wherever you are at in your healing process as well as educate you about what is possible and encourage you to reach that potential.
Acupuncture
Seattle Healing Acupuncture uses the balance method approach to Acupuncture. This is a classical system that produces extremely effective results. Its effectiveness lies in the fact that it addresses both the symptoms and the root of why the symptoms appeared. If you are ONLY treating the symptom, it is like putting a band-aid on the problem. It is our personal goal at Seattle Healing Acupuncture to help you feel better as quickly as possible and then maintains that optimal level of health to provide you with a better quality of life.
The balance method is also referred to as distal style acupuncture, which means we are not needling into the painful area or injured area. It is a very gentle and non-invasive technique.
Along with treating pain, this style of Acupuncture is extremely effective in treating digestive disorders, insomnia, headaches, sinus conditions, women's health issues, fatigue, stress, anxiety, depression, and more. It can help you feel more grounded and in control of your emotions. Many people live a very busy life in our culture, leaving them feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious. Obviously, it will not change your external circumstances and stressors; however, it will change your response to those external stressors and allow you to handle the situation with much more ease.
Seattle Healing Acupuncture offers high-quality care to each patient. We provide a truly comprehensive treatment approach. In addition to the effective style of Acupuncture, we also combine Chinese herbal medicine, nutritional advice, and qigong exercises to your treatment plan. You will have a very potent, customized, and synergistic blend of therapies that can get you back on track in your life. This multi-layered approach often is what it takes to make real change in our modern world, as there are so many forces out there that prevent us from optimal health and wellness.

Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine is an ancient, highly elaborate system of natural healing that has been used by billions of people for all kinds of health conditions. Seattle Healing Acupuncture has a comprehensive herbal pharmacy of patents formulas and granules. The granule formulas are a customized blend of herbs to specifically fit each person. This is rare to find a medicine that is specific to each individual, which in turn makes for extremely effective results.
Chinese herbal medicine is a wonderful complement to acupuncture treatment, as it works on different substrates in the body and maintains continuity in therapeutic intervention. Acupuncture works on the level of energy by harmonizing the flow of Qi through the main energetic pathways of the body.
Quantum physics has verified that our entire material world is comprised of energy, as is the human body. Acupuncture is so unique because it is one of the few therapies that can manipulate the flow of energy in the body and mind to produce a therapeutic effect. In acupuncture theory, until chronic health conditions are addressed on the energetic level, the root cause or problem will often be neglected.
Chinese herbs work more on the level of blood and manifest physiology. The herbs contain macro and micronutrients that can have specific therapeutic effects on certain organs of the body, such as the liver or kidneys. By working on both the immaterial and material levels, the treatment of Acupuncture with herbs is much more effective and lasting
