Nurturing Body, Mind and Spirit

Acupuncture

5,000 year old therapy

Tested over time and centuries of therapy, the goal of acupuncture is to restore a balance within a person's physical, emotional and spiritual aspects. Many patients come in for regular, quarterly, or annual "tune-ups" because it helps them maintain the sweet spot of health they've worked to obtain. Based on the patient concern, health history, tongue, pulse, and other diagnostic methods a series of personalized acupuncture points are selected. Using sterile hair thin needles the energy circulatory system of the body is adjusted and balanced. Patients very often feel a sense of relaxation and relief during and continuing after the treatment.

Cupping Therapy

Diagnostic and therapeutic

An ancient therapy used for centuries and by many cultures. Cupping is both a diagnostic and therapeutic tool. When toxins or cell waste stagnate in the muscles or joints, the body has a difficult time with waste disposal and we often experience this as discomfort or pain. Cupping marks can orient to the location, severtity and type of problem. Excellent to support detoxification and release stagnation, very helpful for chronic issues and feeling "stuck".

Auriculotherapy

Microcosm of the whole body

Also called Auricular Medicine (or ear reflexology), this is a sophisticated assessment technique using the ear as a way to support healing. The ear has many zones that are highly innervated (having nerve connections). Each area connects to the brain and the body via the nervous system. Treatment is applied using ear seed patches on specific points and the client returns home to keep the patches for up to 5 days. A useful tool for stress, anxiety and pain.

Qi Gong Therapy Consultation

Gentle and powerful tools to harmonize

Gentle movement therapy exercises personalized to the current situation of the patient. Qi Gong assists in realignment and correct energy flow regulating mind, breath, body movement and posture. Emotional states as well as physical states can be addressed. Excellent for insomnia, stress, rehabilitation after a surgery or "pre-habilitation" in preparation for surgery or a strenuous event.

Leila Asfour,  LAc,  Dipl. OM (NCCAOM) 

As a practitioner of Chinese Medicine and Chinese Medicine herbology I support clients dealing with anxiety, sleep disorders, grief, stress and those experiencing high sensitivities in their lives. I work regularly with many aspects of Women's health (menstrual disorders, menopause, postpartum care) and I also care for patients that feel the need for seasonal resets or periodic check ups to enhance optimum health.

I have a special interest in working alongside those who may be feeling stuck or experiencing major changes and those who feel like they are looking to tap into something more in any part of their life.

All the therapeutic techniques I offer such as auriculotherapy (ear reflexology), acupuncture, cupping, meridian palpation, botanical medicines and QiGong serve to support my clients in recalibrating a healthy body/mind/spirit balance.

With specific training in facial therapies (acupuncture, guasha, cupping) I often use these modalities as transformational tools to help shift the emotional imprints we carry on our faces.

I have lived in many parts of the world but mostly lived between France and the United States where I earned my Masters Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2016. I am board certified in both California State (LAc) and Nationally in the United States (Dipl. OM, NCCAOM). Here in France I am awaiting membership within the FNMTC (a TCM professional organization based out of the Alpes-Maritime region).
