At Attar Acupuncture, I believe we all have a right to feel at home within ourselves. I take a gentle and intentional approach with this medicine. We are inundated with messages and reasons of why we are not enough. My cozy little space is a container for reminders. A reminder of who you know you are, without the film and chaos of daily life. You don’t have to heal perfectly. In fact, I think that is a myth anyways. I believe in slow medicine because our bodies receive it better. Slow medicine does not necessarily mean slow results. If anything, I think the results you are reaching for come faster and more sustainable with slow medicine. It is important to give ourselves grace. We cannot have the yang without the yin. We must rest in order to integrate and reap the benefits of our activity. Using a yoga example, part of the magic in yoga is the savasana, the corpse pose at the end - the results come quickly because we integrated all the work and effort we put in.

Each person is incredibly unique. In Chinese Medicine, we do not treat diseases on their own. We treat patterns of disharmony that give rise to disease. We take into account your constitution and its relationship with your current and past environments to align you with what your body already knows how to do - heal. Acupuncture is just little messages and guidance. The body is profound in its inherent healing mechanisms and complexity.
