Trina treats both psychological and physiological symptoms. Do you have headaches and stress? An addiction and indigestion? Scars and memories you would like to fade? For any combination of symptoms, Trina teaches as she treats. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) includes nutrition, work-life balance, emotional regulation, and bodywork. You will feel better and be empowered to make choices that improve your well-being, focus, and quality of life.
"I never felt better than I did when I was being treated by Trina. I felt like my body was working together instead of against itself. What I enjoyed most about the treatment is the way she explains everything that’s going on in your body; she doesn’t just treat the symptom. I really felt like I was in sync on a lot of levels."
