How Integrative Medicine Can Boost Your Lifespan
When it comes to living a long healthy life, there are many things we do. This often looks like eating better, trying to exercise, and being conscious of the medications we put into our bodies. If you are seeing a traditional medical practitioner, it’s pretty common for you to be prescribed medications to help alleviate symptoms. There are a growing number of people seeing holistic and alternative practitioners that use Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) tools like supplements, acupuncture, yoga, and more to treat not just the symptoms causing the physical problem but also the mental and spiritual blockages that are negatively affecting you. But you don’t have to choose a
How Acupuncture Rewires Your Brain
Acupuncture is more than sticking needles into select pressure points on the body. Acupuncture (no matter where those needles touch your skin) has a significant impact on the wiring of your brain. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) looks at acupuncture as a way to heal your entire body. Instead of singling out one issue (say a migraine) TCM practitioners look at one issue as part of a larger, whole body problem. Acupuncture is one of the techniques TCM practitioners use to combat whole-body issues. The general understanding of acupuncture treatment is to insert small needles into various pressure points around the body to open up your body’s energy flow from blockages

I was a slight skeptic before I tried acupuncture, but now I shout its praises from the mountaintops and to anyone that will listen. Katie and her team are incredible!! I could go on and on about the benefits it has given me (better sleep, more energy, less stressed, etc), but I’ll leave you with this: think of your favorite John Mayer album and your mood when you listen to it. That is how I feel every time I leave The Center of Bliss. Run, don’t walk, and make an appointment!

I can’t say enough great things about Katie and The Center of Bliss. I first went to Katie at the recommendation of my Fertility Specialist. I have to say that I was somewhat skeptical of what acupuncture could do, but within minutes of my first appointment, I understood. Anxiety, stress, and doubt went out of the window and were replaced with a sense of hope and peace.

Katie was amazing! It was my first time ever getting acupuncture. She talked me through the process and was very informative about the supplements and a path to wellness. It felt safe, clean, and professional. They know their field of work and are experts in helping you find the best way for you.

I saw Katie for acupuncture throughout my entire second pregnancy. She ended up being a wonderful resource and always took the time to listen to me. I found so many benefits from acupuncture that I plan to continue it on a regular basis. I would absolutely recommend The Center of Bliss for anyone seeking acupuncture or any of their other services.

Katie and The Center of Bliss is fantastic!!! After a few treatments, my body was significantly less tight and more relaxed than it has been in years!! The experience itself was painless, easy, cost-effective, timely, and efficient. The entire office is friendly, professional, and clean. I would highly recommend to anyone considering treatment and would go back in a heartbeat if another concern arises! Great experience!!!!

I went here after my doctors recommendation for infertility. All the acupuncturists here are wonderful! I had been going for about 5 months when I found out I was pregnant. I couldn’t believe it – i really believe without the help here I may have never gotten pregnant. I am so amazed and grateful I was able to seek out care here. I also always feel comfortable and the environment is very soothing (I was really afraid and nervous before coming). I’m never left waiting and they even take my back early if I arrive earlier then my appointment.

Acupuncture helped me so much! I recently went to see Katie because I was having trouble getting pregnant. My husband and I were trying for over 2 years to have our first child! We did a combination of acupuncture and fertility treatments and I am happy to say I just found out I am pregnant! I couldn’t be happier. The needles do not hurt and I barely feel them going into me. Katie was so wonderful with me and made me feel comfortable. Please if you are having trouble getting pregnant – go to see Katie!

Dr. Katie and Center of Bliss has been one of the best alternative therapy centers I’ve been to, and I’ve been to a few. After a very frustrating kindergarten of my son really struggling with reading and not being able to focus, I did some research and decided to try acupuncture since I don’t believe in medicating children for attention disorders. After about 5 sessions, I could tell a big difference. He was able to focus more and not having as many emotional outbursts from the frustration.

Tangela is so sweet and personable. She takes time with me, listens to me, asks me how I am doing, and gives me good feedback on things to do. She is stellar and I would recommend her to anyone! She goes above and beyond and really tries to get to know her patients. She is a blessing to The Center of Bliss!

I have had anxiety, depression and panic disorder for over 20 years. All the medicine and therapy were not working so I decided to conquer my fear of needles and try acupuncture, as I had read about its many benefits. Finding the Center of Bliss has made a huge difference in my life. I feel like a new person and I can’t wait for my appointments. It is truly amazing and Center of Bliss is a comfortable, clean, calm, lovely place to try it!

Highly recommend center of bliss for acupuncture! I had a wonderful experience there during my ivf journey. They have a very specific ivf protocol, and I felt totally comfortable and in the care of super knowledgeable folks! I mentioned that I had neck pain and they gave me an extra point for it. My neck pain completely went away during my 6 weeks I was there! Katie, the owner, is wonderful and was an amazing resource for me. They also have payment packages to help ease the price a bit if your acupuncture isn’t covered by insurance.

I started seeing Katie for acupuncture in February 2013. I was nervous at first because, like most of us, I am not a fan of needles. But I was fed up with traditional means of managing my stress and my endometriosis. Katie was incredibly informative, supportive, and understanding. She asked questions about things that would never have occured to me and explained how everything was connected. I sleep so much better now, my endo pain is minimal, and despite starting my own business, my stress is much much more manageable.

Someone who knew I wanted to explore Ashtanga yoga recommended The Center of Bliss so I started coming in the spring. Since then, I would say that I consider this my yoga home. The abundant positive energy flowing through the studio and the inspirational teachers are the setting I’ve been looking for to help me deepen my practice.

I have been going to Katie for about 3 months. I needed help getting off of a sleeping pill that I had been on for over 2 years. I had tried before and ended up sleepless for a week, and started taking the sleep aide all over again. I wanted to be off the meds, I just didn’t know how to do it without taking another pill. Since starting with Katie, I no longer take sleep aide and haven’t since the first visit. I feel so much better after going and look forward to each visit.
