Holly Goguen, M.S., L.Ac., Dipl. O.M. (NCCAOM), CMT *

 

As a young girl, my interest in health and healing began after struggling with my own poor digestion.  I became fascinated with why we get sick, how the disease process happens, and why experiences can be so different from one person to the next.  I fell in love with Oriental Medicine because it encourages patients to take a proactive stance in the maintenance of their health rather than seek a temporary solution as ailments arise. Each individual's unique symptoms are very important  in diagnosis and treatment is tailored to that individual rather than what works for most people. 

 

  In my own practice today, I foster that vision of individualized holistic care. As our health often intersects with the emotional and mental issues we face on a daily basis, I feel it is important to treat the whole you, not just the symptom, concern, or disease.  I seek to provide my patients with the time to answer their questions, a gentle touch to show them respect and care, and the knowledge to pass on to help them live a fuller and healthier version of their lives.
