Acupuncture is a core branch of Chinese medicine that uses very fine, sterile needles placed at specific points on the body to regulate the movement of Qi (vital energy), Blood, and body fluids, restoring balance when these systems become blocked, deficient, or out of harmony.

Acupuncture is a core branch of Chinese medicine that uses very fine, sterile needles placed at specific points on the body to regulate the movement of Qi (vital energy), Blood, and body fluids, restoring balance when these systems become blocked, deficient, or out of harmony.

Acupuncture works by restoring communication within the body — helping regulate the nervous system, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and support hormonal, digestive, and immune function. Treatments are tailored to the individual rather than just the diagnosis, addressing both the underlying pattern and the presenting symptoms.

In practice, acupuncture is commonly used to support:

**Digestive concerns (bloating, IBS, reflux, constipation)

**Complex and chronic conditions (Autoimmune conditions, dysautonomia, etc.)

**Hormonal and menstrual irregularities

**Fertility and pregnancy support

**Perimenopause and menopause

**Stress, anxiety, and sleep disturbances

**Fatigue and immune resilience

**Allergies and sinus concerns

**Acute and chronic pain

**Headaches and migraines

Chinese herbal medicine uses carefully selected combinations of plant, mineral, and botanical substances to address internal imbalances at their root, working through precise formulas designed to restore harmony in the body’s systems.

Unlike single-herb or supplement approaches, classical formulas are structured to work synergistically — regulating Qi and Blood, supporting digestion, calming the nervous system, nourishing deficiencies, or clearing excess patterns such as heat, dampness, or stagnation. Each prescription is tailored to the individual and adjusted over time as the pattern shifts and improves.

Dr. Paula Woodward DTCM

I graduated from a five-year Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine program in 2005. My training was comprehensive and hands-on, covering Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Chinese Diet Therapy, Cupping, and Tui Na. I completed my final year in a teaching hospital in China, which offered valuable clinical exposure and experience.

In the years since graduating, it has really been continued study and clinical practice that have shaped how I work today. I’ve completed over 1,000 hours of advanced training in Chinese herbal medicine, pulse diagnosis, women’s health, fertility, allergy elimination, pain management, and treating complex, often unexplainable illnesses, among other areas. Each layer of study has deepened my understanding of how patterns unfold in the body — and how important it is to treat the whole person, not just symptoms.

Over the years, I’ve supported people through digestive concerns, hormonal and menstrual challenges, chronic pain, fatigue, insomnia, and more complex, lingering conditions. While the presenting issues differ, the approach remains consistent: step back, look at the bigger picture, and work with the underlying pattern that connects the symptoms.
