Holistic Health in Harmony with Nature
Many Eastern medical healing practices are rooted in nature as a model, encouraging us to live in harmony with the seasons and to follow the principles imbedded in nature. The ancient medical arts of China and other Asian cultures embodied methodologies from their observations in nature. In my personal studies I have connected with the language of nature in the medicine I practice. The philosophy that humans and nature are not separate, the knowledge from one can be applied to treat the other and that we are all part of the greater whole encompasses my treatment approach to promote healing and vitality for my patients.
Acupuncture
Alchemical Medicine
Medicine from Plants
Acupuncture is a holistic practice that supports healing on every level—body, mind, and spirit. Physically, it relieves pain, reduces inflammation, and restores balance to the body. Mentally and emotionally, it calms the nervous system, eases stress, and promotes clarity and resilience. These 365 energy points all over the body are organized into 12 meridians and relate to various organs in the body, much like off ramps and on ramps on freeways. These entrance points are accessed and energetically impact everything on the median, as well as corresponding tissues. On a deeper level, acupuncture nurtures the spirit by aligning the flow of Qi, creating a sense of harmony, vitality, and relaxation. By addressing both symptoms and root imbalances, acupuncture offers a path to lasting well-being and a more aligned, vibrant life.
Welcome to Alchemical Medicine, a holistic approach where acupuncture and ancient wisdom come together to support profound transformation. True healing goes beyond symptom relief—it is a journey back to wholeness, aligning body, mind, and spirit. I guide my patients through deep shifts, helping them release what no longer serves them. This may show up as chronic inflammation and pain, hormonal and metabolic imbalances, digestive and gut health issues, autoimmune conditions, or emotional disharmony. By uncovering the deeper factors or root issues influencing health and well-being, we create space for true healing. Our work together is collaborative and empowers you to step into the fullest expression of yourself. This is more than medicine; it is a path to transformation and alignment.
Plants have long been powerful allies in healing, a truth deeply understood by indigenous traditions. While modern science isolates chemical compounds from plants to create pharmaceuticals, traditional medicine embraces their wisdom in a more holistic way. I incorporate plant medicine through carefully selected Chinese herbal formulas, essential oils applied to acupuncture points, and flower essences that work energetically to support emotional and spiritual balance. These plant allies work in synergy with acupuncture, guiding the body back to its natural state of equilibrium. When combined, these ancient healing modalities offer a profound path to transformation, allowing you to realign with your true vitality and step into a more balanced, harmonious life.
What patients are saying…
I have been dealing with vertigo for a number of years. Some days are better than others, but it is a daily occurrence. Dizziness and nausea are just a few of the symptoms I experience.I began receiving acupuncture treatment, one time per week. The entire experience was so positive and helpful. The space was comfortable, peaceful and very relaxing. My needs were evaluated and the treatment for the session was explained. I was educated on the use of different herbs and how they help. My experience with acupuncture has helped me to manage vertigo symptoms.

Breathing issues from a minor injury affected my everyday life so I consulted with Irene after multiple tests from different doctors who could not find a cause. Acupuncture treatments along with herbs recommended by Irene, changed my daily life making a noticeable and positive difference almost immediately. Treatments are healing in so many ways due to the calming environment Irene creates. Her treatments are very unique and personalized to each individual combating the depth of whatever is problematic. Keeping consistent with treatments has helped in preventing future health problems that could occur.
