Client-centered support and solutions for…
-
Chronic Pain
Nothing is quite so dispiriting as chronic pain. Simply put, when we are in pain we are not ourselves. Chronic pain syndromes include fibromyalgia, menstrual cramps, migraines, TMJ, and chronic tension in the neck, back and shoulders.
-
Chronic Illness
For people dealing with hormonal imbalances, dermatological issues, digestive complaints, chronic fatigue and/or frequent infections, conventional treatment options are limited. The tools of Chinese medicine are uniquely suited to diagnose and safely address these difficult-to-treat cases.
-
Mental Health
Emotional disharmony robs us of our ability to function, to connect, and to fully participate in our lives. Chinese medicine offers practical, lasting solutions for the physical symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, insomnia and chronic stress.
Meet Dr. Catherine Vasco
Catherine seeks to understand each client and the story their bodies carry from a holistic perspective. She sees pain—both physical and emotional—as an invitation to heal. Her role as a clinician is to listen, support, empower, and work in partnership with clients to facilitate meaningful change on their terms.
Friendly Neighborhood Acupuncture is open to all communities. Catherine particularly enjoys working with people in caring and creative professions. Her practice is trauma-informed, solution-focused and sliding scale.
