From the moment one speaks with Nicholas, he creates a safe, trusting and comforting dialogue and environment that allows his clients to open up and be honest about all aspects of who they are, and what they may be experiencing—body, mind and soul.

Nicholas believes healing should address the whole of who we are: body and mind. As spiritual beings, with a soul and an individual path in life, the purpose of holistic health systems, like acupuncture, is learning to listen to our body, mind and spirit. Nicholas pays close attention to all to help you begin the process of healing.
Symptoms are messages indicating something is out of balance, and the body doesn’t lie. Pain and suffering can be a call to look at our lives; to address our excesses and deficiencies.
Acupuncture, as Nicholas practices, reintegrates the body’s innate mechanism for self-healing. As partners in wellness, you and Nicholas decipher your body’s messages, using your internal wisdom to help find your way back to wellness and peace.
Sometimes a patient’s chief complaint can disappear after one or two sessions, which is usually the case with acute, short-lived issues. Other times, resolution becomes a process, like therapy, that takes time and commitment to unravel and release. Regular weekly or bi-weekly sessions are often advised for the initial treatment of chronic issues. Some issues may take weeks or months to fully resolve.
During treatment for a specific condition, patients will often find their general physical and mental wellbeing improves as well.
Other Techniques
If appropriate, Nicholas may add these additional therapies and techniques to your treatment.
A technique in which the fortifying herb “mugwort” is burnt atop acupuncture needles or used to gently warm the skin. The herb does not touch the skin, is completely safe, and very comforting.
Used to release the musculature of the body and support detox.
A gentle technique where energy is channeled through practitioner to patient. At times, the practitioner’s hands rest upon the chakras of the patient’s body, or hover slightly above to balance and support the organs and channels. In cases where acupuncture is not desired by the patient, Reiki can stand alone as the sole treatment.
