A few words from Danielle Melanson:

My first priority as a health care provider is to take the proper time to listen and establish long-term, caring relationships with every patient. I believe acupuncture and Chinese herbs have the ability to heal on many different levels, and I know the journey to health is unique for each of my clients. It is my wish that through education, open heartedness and a supportive environment, every patient will find their own level of optimal health. My intention as a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is to help patients become more aware of their bodies and state of health.

The focus of my practice is stress management and women's health including infertility. Treatment normally includes an initial consultation lasting approximately 1.5—2 hours. I will complete a detailed intake in order to learn more about your symptoms and how they may be interrelated. Even the smallest detail can provide insight into the root cause of your condition and can be diagnostic in TCM. The visit will include acupuncture in conjunction with other traditional modalities including, Chinese herbs, cupping, Gua-Sha, nutritional supplements and diet.

Physical health is inseparable from emotional health and spiritual well-being. The holistic aspect of Chinese Medicine is that it can treat the underlying imbalances, which cause disease. We each have a unique bodily constitution, which is influenced by our family history, genes, environment, diet, emotions, beliefs and self-image. Therefore, every treatment is specifically tailored to each patient as a whole being. This approach forms the basis of my practice.

I received my master's degree in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in Portland, Oregon. I am a member of the American Association of Oriental Medicine (AAOM) and board certified in Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. (NCCAOM).

I look forward to meeting you soon.
