OFFERINGS

MEET THE PRACTITIONER

CHRISTINA BARR, LAc

LICENSED ACUPUNCTURIST, CERTIFIED IN TCM ONCOLOGY

SPECIALIZING IN THE CONNECTION BETWEEN PHYSICAL HEALTH, BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS, AND EMOTIONS

My approach starts with listening to what you’re telling me and paying attention to what your body is telling me. I look for the disharmony between the two, because that’s often where the underlying pattern becomes clear.

Whether the pattern is purely physical or there is a deeper layer involving learned behaviors or stuck emotions, I follow what’s actually there, working within your level of comfort.
