“If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it.”
-Margaret Fuller
Beyond mere treatment, Alaina’s practice transcends into tenderness. Her gentle healing ways cocoons you in a caring and nurturing experience. Beyond the acupuncture itself, Alaina generously shares her deep wisdom on oriental medicine, herbs, nutrition, Taoist philosophy, and QiGong that enables you to holistically address your ailments. For me, I first went to Alaina seeking support for the side effects of a rare form of breast cancer called inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). I received so much more—Alaina’s contemplative and mindful awareness approach helped me move beyond healing my cancer to strengthen my overall health and wellbeing. I am grateful for the illumination her caring and wisdom has given to me.

"I met Alaina while pregnant last year; I was pursuing alternative ways to turn my breech baby into the proper position to avoid a c-section. She performed acupuncture on me for this condition as well as for the lower back and sciatica pain I was experiencing. The baby turned successfully and my back pain resolved almost immediately! Alaina is kind and sincere, and her extensive knowledge in her field is apparent upon meeting her."
