What is it that compliments but also distinguishes Tia and Jenni’s style of practice? Below, Tia dives into the heart of her passion, Five-Element Acupuncture.
Classical Five-Element Acupuncture is set apart from other systems of acupuncture by its fundamental premise of diagnosing and treating a patient's Causative Factor, or his/her root imbalance. Just as the five elements can be seen in nature, (summer, late summer, autumn, winter, and spring), so can they be found in every living being. Although we are all made up of each of the elements, (fire, earth, metal, water, and wood), there is one main element that we embody from birth to death and it is this very element, or Causative Factor, that can be our greatest gift or greatest weakness depending on how balanced we are.
The Causative Factor is assessed by way of objective information provided by the body itself. Each of the elements has a corresponding color, sound, odor and emotion, which can be perceived when a particular element is out of balance. While it is relatively simple to memorize these associations, developing the skills to truly see, hear, smell, and feel these imbalances requires focused study, practice, and skilled guidance. Accurate diagnosis and treatment of the Causative Factor is the key to Classical Five-Element Acupuncture and the doorway to living your greatest potential.
“Beyond the physical, mental, or emotional pain is a place of wholeness and freedom that has always been present and is ultimately untouchable. I would be honored to visit with you in the treatment room and begin this unique and exciting journey of healing together.”
In order to properly diagnose and treat in the traditional five-element style, we have added a new Five-Element specific package, and a Five-Element Initial Intake. If you are a current patient but would like to have a full five-element treatment, Tia needs to spend at least 90 and up to 120 minutes with you to diagnose your element accurately. This requires a new initial visit for five-element.
