As health costs rise and medical care at times becomes impersonal East West Academy offers consumers and institutions a cost-effective, humane option in health promotion and treatment. An option that complements and works closely with Western approaches to find a common meeting ground, a practical dimension, for a new concept of health care and healing. Our areas of expertise are in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) focusing on acupuncture, Qigong, Tui Na and Ahn Mo massage, Qi Pressure, and other related techniques fostering overall Mind/Body/Spirit wellness and treatment for disease, pain, and physical trauma and physiological imbalances.

This means a Body/Mind/Spirit approach with the goal of the client taking responsibility for their condition and receiving the tools to regain balance in all aspects of their lives.
