A catalyst can be as immaterial as a thought or as substantial as a molecule of gold. The catalyst has the ability to both slow down a reaction and speed it up, yet the catalyst itself never changes. Using the inherent sophistication of the body, acupuncture acts as a catalyst to create patterns of healing in a gentle way.

In this spirit, Beth Griffing, L.Ac. carefully listens to your story and observes your state of health in order to provide treatments that create the change you desire. In some cases this treatment may serve as a small nudge which can provide a quick change; in other cases Beth will work steadily with you to create a gentle but powerful long-term treatment plan.

Beth advocates for your health care autonomy by encouraging and teaching self-care techniques to continue at home, tailored to your lifestyle. Beth strongly believes in the universal right to health, equal recognition of all communities, and non-discrimination. She strives to promote health care access at a low cost, with a focus on continuing preventive care and by providing a sliding fee scale for home visits. Beth will support your quest for wellness by catalyzing real change in a positive and supportive environment.
