Acupuncture

Our bodies are viewed as an interconnection of many parts including the aspect of mind.

East Asian Medicine treatments consider a person’s individual, underlying constitution and current imbalances. Harmony and wellness are restored by effectively targeting the root causes of dis-ease.

Acupuncture is a form of healing which addresses physical and emotional illnesses by balancing the body’s meridians – channels that conduct source energy.

When there are disruptions in these energy flows, the body cannot heal itself.

The resulting disease and discomfort  needs to be addressed at the level of qi (life force energy that impacts all our bodily processes) to restore balance on all levels.

This subtle and powerful holistic medicine supports the body’s innate capacity to regulate and heal, without side effects.

Research shows that acupuncture can help relieve a wide range of physical and psychological conditions.

Acupuncture can increase the body’s ability to release its own natural painkillers; endorphins and serotonin. A course of treatment benefits many ailments including:

  • musculoskeletal pain

  • migraine headaches

  • stress, anxiety, depression

  • sleep issues

  • gastrointestinal disorders

  • allergies

  • skin conditions

Acupuncture and herbal medicine can also be used to treat autoimmune conditions, addiction, side effects of cancer treatments and to enhance fertility. Some even utilize acupuncture for cosmetic purposes!

  • Paige is a great healer and human being.  The treatments she gives are intuitive and effective. Rather than just treating symptoms, she works at setting up deep energy influences which have positive and long lasting effects on both my physical complaints and emotional stress.  She is lovely, kind, gentle, and wise.

  • During last season’s mid-winter surf feast I was letting myself be run down by a persistent sinus infection. I had never experienced acupuncture, but decided to give it a try. The points were truly electric, I felt tiny tensions being released in shock waves through my limbs and face. Clearly something very powerful began to happen. I was finally able to relax the lingering aches and illness that were keeping me from my surfing and living best. I could certainly use more! Thank you for opening my eyes to a new world of healthful healing and growth.

  • It has been a year since Dr. Hetherington began treating me and my symptoms. I can say that I realize I no longer live within the darkness of hopelessness about living this life of mine. Dr. Hetherinton’s innate ability to combine different healing arts and give an immediate greater sense of well-beingness is so appreciated by me as I am living each day with less restrictions and pain. I am anticipating another great year of improving health and more joy and happiness with her amazing eclectic acupuncture treatments.

  • Dr. Paige Hetherington is phenomenal! I started acupuncture with her to help me with motivation for eating well, exercising and taking time for my self-care. I was also concerned about my skin, aging and a few spots that were precancerous… since I have been seeing Paige, I have been working out on a regular basis, eating better and I feel and look a lot better than when I started. Also, 3 of the 4 skin patches have changed for the better, getting smaller and lightert. I highly recommend Dr. Paige Hetherington, she is caring, knowledgeable and uses many complimentary modalities to generate positive change in the body, mind and soul.

  • I deeply appreciate my acupuncture sessions with Paige. Her extensive background in natural health is a constant resource for me as I work through layers of stagnation caused by childhood trauma and years of  poor eating habits. My PMS, general irritability, and addictive behaviors have all shown dramatic improvement with regular treatments and herbal support. She’s a keeper!

  • Dr. Hetherington treated me in the first trimester of pregnancy with my second child. I had suffered from morning sickness that went on throughout the day. My symptoms included fatigue, nausea with some vomiting, and food aversion. Dr. Hetherington’s knowledge in the use of herbs and the acupuncture treatments helped to alleviate my symptoms, allowing me to cope and feel more comfortable during a trying pregnancy.

  • Paige is calm and gentle in her approach. Her intuitive healing nature is always felt in her care. I have worked with Paige on and off for several years and she has helped me align my emotional and spiritual well being. I always look forward to time shared with her.

  • Paige’s treatments have been an enormous help in relieving my back and shoulder pain.  An added benefit has been a better night’s sleep.  I was a bit hesitant to have acupuncture done, as I am not fond of needles.  However, Paige makes the whole process very relaxed, easy and painless. I would recommend her to anyone seeking help with their condition.
