One-on-one Care
This is the cornerstone of my practice and the most comprehensive approach to addressing your healthcare concerns. If you are curious about functional medicine testing, interested in whole body approaches using all the types of medical training and tools in my arsenal, or don’t know what you need but are tired of trying to figure that out on your own after seeing many different practitioners and getting no answers, please book some time to talk with me. I hear you. I’ve been there. I’m here to help.
Acupuncture and Manual Manipulation
Sometimes you just need someone to lay hands on you and work out those kinks. I provide a variety of hands-on therapies including acupuncture, tui na, gua sha, cupping, medical lasers, moxibustion, manual manipulation, and medical massage. Acupuncture and manual manipulation are good for pain and musculoskeletal issues, but they are also helpful for dizziness, nausea, GI issues, hot flashes, menstrual cycle issues, fatigue, sleep/insomnia problems, and a wide variety of other issues. Don’t suffer. This can help you!
Office Location: Tribe Healing Arts, 1821 W Belmont, Chicago, IL 60657.
Office hours vary. If you do not see a time that works with your schedule, you can contact me through the patient portal with some times/dates that work for you. I will do my best to accommodate your schedule.

The cost for functional medicine testing is mostly determined by the company providing the test and doing the analysis: they set their own prices. I do mark up the cost of the test a small amount to cover the cost of my time for ordering, interpreting, and preparing the test results for our discussion. If you have any questions about this, I am happy to transparently explain the details to you.
