Who Is Rachel?
Rachel Clark is a licensed board certified Acupuncturist trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Element Acupuncture with a Master’s Degree in Acupuncture from the Won Institute. Rachel is committed to encouraging people to access a deep sense of peace in their mind and body, even during a health crisis. She looks forward each day to hearing how people are navigating their health challenge, managing their pain with more ease, and able to participate more fully in the activities they love. She is especially attentive to working with people managing chronic pain or health issues and want to find a greater ease with their bodies through making life style changes that include meditation, acupuncture, eating well and exercising. Rachel began the journey East as a student of beloved tai chi teacher Maggie Newman in 1986. With Maggie, she learned the 37 posture short form as taught by Prof. Cheng Man-ch’ing. She began her study of meditation as Maggie taught it, holding the arms in postures that invited energy into the body.
We say the word Chi or qi….
But the character is a wood fire with a pot of rice cooking and steam rising, all of that poetry condensed into that tiny word qi. Studying this medicine is a humbling pursuit and I am grateful to work with the people who come through the door.
My goal is to listen attentively to your unique circumstances in order to bring health and balance into your life using natural medicine that encourages a deep level of ease and well being.
