How Tracy Treats
For over 20 years, Tracy has practiced two complementary disciplines: traditional Japanese acupuncture and moxibustion (Shinkyu), and classical Chinese herbal medicine (Jing Fang). Her treatments may also draw on nutrition, movement, and other forms of support as needed. For visit costs, see Insurance & Pricing.
Rather than treating a symptom in isolation, Tracy works with your whole system: finding the root pattern, restoring your body's own capacity for balance, and helping you feel more at home in yourself.
Treatment Approach
Acupuncture & Complementary Therapies
Traditional Japanese Acupuncture & Moxibustion
鍼灸
Shinkyu
Tracy's needling technique spans the Japanese tradition, Meridian Therapy (Kairaku Chiryo): from gentle, non-insertive methods (hifushin, shonishin) for needle-sensitive patients and children, to fascia, trigger point, and motor point work for athletes and stubborn pain. Some techniques overlap with what is now called “dry needling,” but Tracy pairs them with pulse, channel, and pattern diagnosis, so treatment is never limited to a single muscle or symptom.
Moxibustion, the warming of acupuncture points with mugwort, is woven in throughout, using Japanese techniques refined over centuries (tonnetsukyu, kyutoshin, chinetsukyu) to move stagnation and restore circulation. Comfort matters, but the goal is always letting your body do the work.
Classical Chinese Herbal Medicine
經方
Jing Fang
Tracy prescribes herbal formulas from Classical Chinese herbalism (Jing Fang), combinations with roughly 1,800 years of documented clinical use, tracing back to the renowned physician Zhang Zhong Jing. Each formula is matched to your specific pattern and adjusted as your body responds, working alongside acupuncture or on its own.
She also draws on Kampo, the Japanese extension of this tradition, which uses abdominal diagnosis to find the right formula, and traces her approach to pulse diagnosis to the lineage of Tian He Ming, a classical scholar and physician.
Tracy maintains her own medicinary at the clinic, so you can take the herbs with you and start immediately after your treatment.

Collaborative Care & Guidance
Care That Stays Connected
Tracy regularly coordinates with your other providers—including athletic trainers, physical and occupational therapists, primary care doctors, chiropractors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and dietitians—so your treatment remains part of the larger picture rather than working in isolation. In a healthcare landscape that’s grown more specialized, she can also help you figure out the right next step, not just the next appointment.
