Holistic Program for Migraine Management

Holistic Program for People with Migraines

I offer a holistic program for people who suffer from migraine disease. This is a comprehensive plan designed to bring your whole body back to balance.
The goal is to help you manage your migraines using proven strategies and treatments. Through this program, you can decrease the frequency and severity of migraines, learn more about your specific triggers, and learn tools to live well.

This is a program for people who are looking for a holistic approach to managing migraines.

  • For people who don’t have relief with medications.
  • For people who take medications but would like to have less migraines. This program is definitely compatible with your regular medical care.
  • For people who would like to learn more about their migraines, and identify triggers.
  • For people with migraines who would like to be healthier in other areas of their life too!

More About the Program

This program is a comprehensive and integrative approach that is compatible with your medical treatments. I encourage you to be an active participant in your health! Some people do experience significant reduction and relief of their migraines through acupuncture alone. This is great! I also want you to learn more about choices you can make in your everyday life to reduce your migraines.

  • Weekly acupuncture treatments. Studies show that acupuncture treatments can reduce the frequency and severity of migraines and reduce the need for medication. According to the 2009 Cochrane review, "Available studies suggest that acupuncture is as effective as, or possibly more effective than, prophylactic drug treatment, and has fewer side effects. Acupuncture should be considered a treatment option for patients willing to undergo this treatment." *
  • Identify your triggers with a migraine diary
  • Identify any food triggers with a migraine trigger elimination diet
  • Learn tools to reduce stress
  • Balance your body and life with healthy eating, exercise, and emotional support
  • Referrals to medical practitioners and holistic healers for an integrative approach to your health

The San Francisco Migraine Support Group

I am the organizer of a MeetUp support group for people with migraines. Each meeting is an opportunity for people to share their experiences. This is a space for people to receive support around living with migraines. Migraines affect our emotional health, our relationships, our physical health- really our whole lives! We will discuss specific topics related to migraines. This will also be a space for education- where people can learn how to make healthier choices to manage migraines.

This group is open to all- whether you are on medications, solely on natural remedies, or have an integrative approach. You also don't have to be a patient to join. I ask everyone to be open to different experiences. My hope is to inspire each other to live healthy, whole lives with migraines.

About Me

I've experienced migraines since I was four years old. I’ve seen many doctors, specialists, and holistic healers in search of relief. I learned from each experience and I have come to realize that I can make choices to support my experience with migraines. Using a holistic approach, I have learned to decrease the frequency and severity of my migraines. Furthermore through my training in Chinese Medicine, I have learned how to live a healthy, balanced life and feel whole. Through my experience, I would like to empower others who suffer with migraines to be an active participant in their own health and wellness.
