concerns and goals for well-being.

A telephone consultation with our Patient Navigator can help you determine which treatment, service or program is best for you. Please call or email to schedule your consultation.

Acupuncture has been used for more than two thousand years in China to promote well-being and treat illness.

Ayurveda Consultation

Ayurveda is India's traditional system for health and healing, practiced continuously for more than 5000 years. During this in-depth consultation with a physician trained in Ayurveda, you will learn how to optimize well-being through careful attention to your lifestyle choices. After a detailed history, pulse diagnosis and examination of several mind-body parameters, our physician will determine your individual Ayurvedic constitution: that is, the bio-energetic balance of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha unique to you.

Our physician will then recommend an Ayurvedic wellness plan designed to restore or to enhance bio-energetic balance via lifestyle choices in harmony with your unique constitution. The Ayurvedic wellness plan will address your nutrition, physical activity, circadian rhythms, seasonal and environmental influences, psychological propensities, and mind-body practices. When appropriate, further recommendations regarding Ayurvedic detoxification and Ayurvedic herbal remedies will also be made.
