Ashley Martinelli, DACM, LAc
My interest in holistic medicine stemmed from watching too many loved ones being continually failed by the western medical system and their tendency towards a bandaid fix. I started seeking alternative therapies of my own through herbs, forming a connection with the original medicine provided by our very own planet. I hope to share this medicine with as many people as possible, helping them to reconnect with their minds, bodies, and spirit.
During our first treatment we will go over your entire health history to get to the root of any dis-ease in the mind and body, encouraging them to work as one again. By utilizing the five elements, yin/yang theory, and the acupuncture meridians, I will identify any underlying patterns to treat your whole system, not just your symptoms. Along with acupuncture, moxibustion, fire cupping, and gua sha, I almost always incorporate herbal medicine into my treatment plans. Herbs alongside a consistent acupuncture regimen provide a powerful synergy, and tend to yield sustained results.
“I want more people to experience the magic of acupuncture and Chinese medicine not only for treating chronic issues but as a preventative source in maintaining balance in all aspects of life.”
I want more people to experience the magic of acupuncture and Chinese medicine not only for treating chronic issues but as a preventative source in maintaining balance in all aspects of life. Together, I hope to come up with a plan towards becoming the most optimal version of yourself.
