“I am so thankful for Federica and her compassionate care. She has helped me so much through acupuncture for the chronic migraines and illness I have been dealing with. The treatments have provided me with relief from chronic pain and helped me have more energy. With Federica’s help, I did not have a migraine on Wednesday night after the treatment. I did have a migraine on Saturday, but it seemed to be because of the weather. I have not had shoulder pain for the past few days, which is great. Thank you!”

The Ming approach
Individualized care, not a protocol
We approach the body, mind, and lived experience as interconnected. Through observation, listening, palpation, movement, and other diagnostic tools, we look beyond an isolated symptom to understand the patterns and conditions that may be contributing to how you feel.
- 01
Understand the whole picture
History, goals, movement, and context—not a single symptom in isolation.
- 02
Identify the present priority
Care starts where it can most help you function and recover now.
- 03
Select appropriate modalities
Acupuncture, dry needling, herbs, bodywork, and guidance—chosen for this visit.
- 04
Adapt as function improves
Plans change as your response and goals evolve. No fixed protocol for everyone.
Modalities
What treatment may include
Treatment may create an important opening for change. Lasting health often also asks us to look at how we move, eat, breathe, rest, exercise, recover, and live. Our role is to help identify those opportunities, provide treatment where appropriate, and offer guidance that helps you move forward with greater agency.
No single modality is appropriate for every patient. Your visit may draw from several approaches.
- Acupuncture
- Dry needling
- Chinese herbal medicine
- Food energetics
- Therapeutic bodywork
- Cupping
- Gua sha
- Movement or postural guidance when appropriate
