There are many different styles of acupuncture practiced all over the world. Classical Five Element Acupuncture (CFEA) is an ancient Daoist style of acupuncture. It has a profound ability to help us reconnect to our body, mind, and spirit.  This style looks at health and disease differently.  It honors the laws of nature and the body’s innate ability to heal itself. 

The five elements – wood, fire, earth, metal, and water are the foundation of this medicine.  They are elemental phases that exist in the world around us and are mirrored in the microcosm of our bodies.  When there is an imbalance within these elements we may feel disconnected or develop physical symptoms.

CFEA involves much more than symptom management.  It is a beautiful system for reminding us who we really are at our core.  We each have a unique story, our own perspective on the world, and transitions we are working through.  These are all taken into consideration as we are guided back into harmony with nature.

CFEA nurtures the whole person and can be beneficial to anyone seeking balance. This could be physical pain, chronic stress, a mental block, emotional challenges, or a desire for greater clarity.
