Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine widely practiced in China and also found in regions of south-east Asia, Europe and the Americas. The theories of acupuncture hold that the human body acts as a small universe connected by channels, and that by physically stimulating these channels the practitioner can promote the human body’s self-regulating functions and bring health to the patient.
This stimulation involves the insertion of needles into points on these channels, with the aim to restore the body’s balance and prevent and treat disease. In acupuncture, needles are selected according to the individual condition and used to puncture and stimulate the chosen points.
NADA Ear Acupuncture is an adjunct therapy which is clinically effective, cost-effcient, drug-free and compatible cross-culturally. It can easily be established within behavioral health, addictions or disaster relief settings or in any location that a group of people can sit together. When combined application of acupuncture with counseling, education, medical support and self-help groups such as AA and NA enhances opportunities for success.

Life Coaching
Make "Shift Happen"
Stephanie’s greatest passion is inspiring others to develop and deepen the relationship between the inner and outer worlds through love and compassion for self and others. She works with individuals who are willing to invest in knowing and loving themselves to fulfill their dreams and who want to inspire others by living an Extraordinary Life.
Stephanie admits it takes persistence and a willingness to ask and receive help to be successful. Asking for support should not be confused with weakness. It takes love and courage to ask for help. Sometimes our bodies scream with pain, aching for attention. Pain can be the motivator that its time to ask for help. Pain can also be our teacher coming to “wake us up” to tell us to change direction or to try something new or think differently. We all have a purpose for being here in this world, most people never find their purpose. What if pain was a doorway to discover who you are and why you are here? Wouldn’t you want to seek the answer if it will guarantee your success?
