Janet Halonen, Licensed Acupuncturist, Certified Yoga Meditation Instructor
Services:
My primary area of expertise is in helping people learn how to manage their stress, ease their emotional discomfort, and reduce their pain. When a person is going through hard times physically and or emotionally, they naturally seek out ways to help themselves feel better. Unfortunately, the choices made are not always the healthiest. Traditional Chinese Medicine and techniques found in Yoga offer a non-chemical, "self-stimulated" means of providing relief and healing, which naturally lessens the desire for outside sources.
Other Areas of Expertise:
The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have declared acupuncture effective for the following commonly seen ailments in practice and more than 200 other conditions:
- Circulatory disorders -- Hypertension, palpitations, heart disease
- Disorders of the bones, muscles, and joints -- Headaches, low back pain, neck and shoulder pain, joint pains, injuries, numbness and tingling, muscular aches and pains, osteoarthritis
- Disorders of the nervous system-- Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's
- Emotional and psychological disorders --Depression, anxiety
- Gastrointestinal disorders--Indigestion, pain, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea constipation, eating disorders
