You’re probably here right now because you are ready to experience better health. You may be struggling with chronic pain, or you could use more energy, inner peace and balance in your life. Perhaps you have anxiety or depression or have trouble turning your mind off to relax and sleep soundly.
If you are like most of our patients, you want to treat the root cause of your health concerns, not just mask your symptoms with drugs or undergo invasive surgery. Your goal is to experience total wellness and vitality.
We take a holistic approach to health and create a unique health plan and treatment series for each of our client’s individual needs and goals. Services included are distinctive to each client and include Acupuncture, Acupressure, Moxibustion, Cupping, Nutrition Response Testing, nutritional counseling and herbal and whole food supplements.
Five Element Acupuncture
Five Element Acupuncture is a holistic practice that applies the laws of nature to the diagnosis and treatment of the underlying causes of disease, rather than just the symptoms. Lanelle Durst, L.Ac, treats the patient as a whole, considering the connection of the body, mind and spirit in relation to the laws of nature and environmental influences. The basic goal is to treat the underlying cause of imbalance at its root. When balance is restored, the natural healing abilities of the person are activated and the symptoms of illness will resolve themselves. This results in a profound level of healing and a sense of well-being where, not only do the physical symptoms resolve, but mental clarity and emotional stability are attained.

Nutrition Response Testing
Nutrition Response Testing is a non-invasive system of analyzing the body in order to determine the underlying causes of poor health. When these are corrected through safe, natural, nutritional means the body can repair itself in order to attain and maintain more optimal health.
Nutrition Response Testing analyzes different areas on the surface of the body that relate to the state of health of every organ and area of the body. It uses the body’s nervous system to identify areas that are not functioning at optimal levels through a form of applied kinesiology, commonly known as muscle testing. Based on our findings, we will recommend specific whole-food supplements and/or herbs, and possibly also dietary and lifestyle changes. It is painless and results in a personalized health improvement program that addresses your body s imbalances and corrects its operation.
We added Nutrition Response Testing to our services after finding that even the best acupuncture care couldn’t help some clients with all of their issues. If someone is nutritionally deficient or has underlying stressors (such as heavy metals, chemicals, immune challenges, food sensitivities or scars) that aren’t addressed, they will likely have stubborn symptoms that can’t be helped with acupuncture alone. This modality helps us identify which organs or areas aren’t functioning optimally. We then find the exact whole food supplements needed for the body to repair itself. Nutrition response testing works well in combination with acupuncture, or even alone, for those afraid of needles.
