Gina is an Illinois State Licensed Acupuncturist, a Certified Herbal Counselor and a professional member of the American Herbalists' Guild. She helps people heal by using the "Traditional Chinese Medicine" model of diagnosis. Once the problem has been determined, she treats them with acupuncture and its adjunctive therapies: moxibustion, phytotherapy / medicinal herbalism, as well as dietary and nutritional advice. Her approach is to treat from a "holistic" perspective - meaning the whole person - body, mind and spirit.
