Meet Your Integrative Care Team

Through experience and wisdom we developed the following
key beliefs that guide our approach:​​

  • Healing from trauma whether it is mental, physical, or both requires courage, patience, and a team.

  • Folks rarely heal alone and soul healing is often slow healing.

  • Collaborative care that guides folks to better self-advocate and be their own case managers is empowering and effective.

  • Folks need to be treated like the expert of their own health!

  • Self-compassion and accurate empathy are required, the inner critic can be silenced.

  • We can do the hard things required to truly heal, especially when we surround ourselves in kindness and have a realistic plan.

  • Addressing the impact of trauma and chronic pain on the central nervous system is required so our feelings, thoughts, and choices are aligned with wisdom - not intense emotions such as fear.

  • The Shen or heart of the matter is - we love to help others help themselves. 

  • Healing is an active partnership between the client and helper. 

TESTIMONIALS

"I have had acupuncture several times in my life but have never experienced someone as knowledgeable and healing as Wade. I have been seeing Wade for the past few years and he has truly been instrumental in helping me during cancer treatment and recovery. Acupuncture has not only helped with relaxation during a very stressful time it has also reduced pain, nausea and insomnia. Cannot imagine where I would be without Wade’s healing!"
