FACTS ABOUT TREATMENT
 

THERAPIES USED


ACUPUNCTURE
 

This is a therapeutic tool used by many ancient cultures for thousands of years to balance energy systems within the body. While this balance is being achieved, the flow of chi (energy) begins to flow appropriately causing the body to do a number of wonderful things such as healing illness and building healthy cellular structures, which become the bedrock for the entire being. Acupuncture can be responsible for limitless shifts toward wellness in every area of the body. There is no limitation as to how acupuncture can assist the body in healing itself, since energy flows throughout the entire body. There are many well known issues that acupuncture has been scientifically proven to improve.

HERBOLOGY

Herbology is truly the foundation for Traditional Asian Medicine. It is a highly effective form of healing oneself with the use of natural substances. I believe strongly in the use of herbal therapy and find it to be surprisingly reliable. Please consider this tool as an absolutely necessary adjunct to any therapeutic path you choose. I am a trained herbalist and will help you to find an herbal formula that will be suitable for your condition. The beauty of working with a trained herbalist is , as your condition begins to shift and transform, so too will your formula. It is an amazing dance to work with these natural substances and watch how they assist in tonifying areas of weakness and soften places of excess.

NUTRITIONAL GUIDANCE AND SUPPLEMENTATION

I am trained to help you find nutritional solutions and balance. I am versed in many supplements available today and am able to guide you in their use. Given the MAD (Modern American Diet) we know today, it has become extremely important that we pay very close attention to how we are able to extract the necessary nutrients from our food and supplements. Food quality is contaminated and diminished due to growing practices and transportation issues. Many chemicals are being ingested and fewer nutrients are being absorbed than ever before. I can help you make sense of this dilemma and guide you towards healthy choices when it comes to nutrition and supplements. 

ONGOING MOTIVATION AND SUPPORT

It is essential that we have strong cellular structures while we make shifts toward health. I find that when one commits to seeing a practitioner in rebalancing the body, the body can feel a sense of “shock” because the balance it created from imbalance is being disrupted. In addition, while we are "de-toxing" toxicities are being released from contained spaces. This is a very sensitive time in a healing process. The body needs more time and focus than ever. Take this time to be kind to your body. Sleep, eat well and take the herbs and supplements we find are appropriate for you. Your body will need all the help it can get in it’s effort to rebuild healthfully.

As your healthcare practitioner, I am committed to helping you throughout your journey. As you remain in my care, I will track your progress and continually adjust my therapies accordingly.

Before Your Treatment
Eat a high protein breakfast, lunch and or dinner prior to your scheduled appointment. Since we will be moving chi (energy) in your body we will be utilizing a lot of body systems therefore relying on available materials for metabolism to be available in your bloodstream.

Do not allow any food to alter the color of your tongue. This is an important diagnostic tool in which the color of the tongue reveals deep states of the body.

Try to arrive in enough time to be able to sit for a few minutes prior to your appointment. If you are unable to do this, just try to stay relaxed on your way to your appointment. A rushed heartbeat can alter and mask the pulse which is also used to diagnose.

Wear comfortable clothing. In many cases you will not be asked to change into a gown for treatment. Many acupuncture points are located in areas where loose fitting clothing can be adjusted and moved to reach a point. In addition, it is best to allow the chi to flow freely without restrictions of tight fitting clothes.

Consider changes or issues you would like to present to help me better understand your status. It is important to remember that I am using a holistic approach which will involve looking at your entire body even if you are only interested in treating one issue. Often illness “appears” in an area of the body but is “manifested” from another. If you have multiple health concerns please recognize that there will be an “order of importance” that I will use based on my training. I will work on one area of interest at a time rather than multiple things at once. It is often ineffective to take on more than one focus when working energetically.

NOURISHING THE BODY MIND AND SOUL
Dr. Rosen's Philosopy:
Ancient Eastern principles, intense diagnostic systems and Western approaches are used to formulate a comprehensive view of your body, mind and spirit. A treatment plan will be developed to suit your goals and needs and hold shape to your healing journey. A holistic approach towards health, balance and connection, evolves you steadily from one state to another. Overlooked areas can resonate old, stagnant energy diminishing healthy momentum. In efforts to fully transcend, it is important to work to heal not only the physical body, but also, the spiritual and emotional body as well.
What therapies are used?
I am trained in the use of Acupuncture, Herbology, Nutrition Counseling and Energy Work. In that framework, I rely on my understanding of Five Element Theory to find trends to discover a connection between emotional states, environmental situations or habitual lifestyles and physical presentations.
 
Why would I need to receive therapy?
I advise individuals who find themselves unable to create time or a shift towards meditation and personal care alone, to seek guidance from a practitioner that can help to build this practice into one’s life. It is important supplementation for anyone feeling physical and or emotional discomforts, as well as for individuals interested in taking their life to a higher level of connectivity. When a space is created to better understand oneself, a relationship with life and the external world begins to form.  Many of us need allies to hold us in alignment with personal goals. 
What does a session look like?
The first step, is for you to fill out an intake summary. In this extensive set of paperwork I attempt to draw your attention to all of the possible energies currently existing in your system.

The second step, is your first appointment. Sensory diagnostic procedures a discussion of the findings and an opportunity for you to ask any questions then follows.

A therapeutic approach using a variety of methods will be used during your treatment. Not all people are comfortable with nor qualified for the needling procedures of acupuncture. This does not limit a person from receiving the proven ancient healing of Eastern medicine. There are many ways to adjust energies in ones system outside of acupuncture. For those who are interested in, and qualify for acupuncture, I am happy to be able to provide this therapy. I like to stress that acupuncture is simply one wonderful tool of a very extensive body of ancient knowledge. I do not feel that every client needs acupuncture nor does every visit.

What is a therapeutic journey like?
There are times a client may need to reveal deep emotional structures that require attention. This is a very acceptable way to spend a session with me. During this type of session I will work with you to find ways to naturally support your physical, spiritual and emotional system to not only heal, but also transform consciousness of energies at play. More than likely I will recommend herbal assistants to introduce energies that may empower you to elevate in the direction you choose.

Do you prescribe herbal remedies?
I frequently prescribe herbal formulas to my patients. Herbal remedies are of the earth, nutritionally powerful and when used in the guidance of a trained practitioner low-risk.  In over twenty years of using herbal medicine personally and as an herbalist I have NEVER experienced severe negative responses.  During this time however, i have witnessed miraculous healing and transformation.  Herbal Medicine is not always a magical pill that works immediately.  Often, it takes days, weeks and sometimes months to notice the changes the botanicals are making in the body.  The proof of the medicine is seen when the right formulation is chosen and consumed with discipline by the patient.  Like western medications, trial periods are necessary to watch how formulations perform in each unique individual to find exactly which blend is accurate.  Even once a prescription is found to be useful, it will continue to be modified as the condition changes in response to the medicine.  This one tremendous strength of herbal medicine.  It can follow you through a disease patter instead of being a static drug that creates dependency.  If you feel drawn to herbal medicine, speak with me about how to begin a journey of healing.
