A Thoughtful Approach to Acupuncture in West Bloomfield
Acupuncture can be practiced in many different ways. At Stillpoint Acupuncture, care is quiet, attentive, and individualized, guided by how the body responds rather than by fixed protocols.
Many people who come here are dealing with persistent pain, stress-related tension, or limitations in movement that have not fully resolved with conventional approaches alone. Others are seeking a more grounded and integrative form of care—one that supports recovery while respecting the body’s natural capacity to heal.
My clinical work is informed by over two decades of practice in Chinese medicine, along with long-term personal training in movement and internal disciplines. This perspective shapes how I understand pain, compensation, and resilience in the body—not as isolated problems, but as patterns that can be addressed with clarity and care.

This approach is often a good fit if you:
Are dealing with ongoing or recurring pain.
Feel that stress or tension is affecting your body.
Want care that looks beyond symptoms alone.
Are willing to engage in a short course of treatment.
A Whole-Person Approach to Acupuncture
Acupuncture is not a single technique. How it is applied matters.
In this practice, treatment is guided by how your body presents on the day of the visit and how it responds over time. Pain, tension, and dysfunction are often influenced by circulation, nervous system regulation, and the emotional load the body is carrying.
Rather than focusing only on the area of discomfort, care often includes attention to related patterns involving the spine, hips, breathing, and how stress and emotion are reflected physically in the body. This allows treatment to support not only symptom relief, but improved function, resilience, and recovery capacity.
Sessions are unhurried and responsive. Time and space are part of the medicine, allowing the nervous system to settle and the body to recover, adapt, and regain ease of movement.
When the body feels supported, the mind can soften. When the mind settles, the body heals more efficiently.
