Monica Ander delivers two types of Acupuncture:
1) Traditional Chinese Medicine
2) Trigger Point Acupuncture (IMS style)

IMS style Acupuncture works more with the myofascial trigger points, whereas, Traditional Acupuncture is used more for internal medicine purposes and to restore balance in the body in a holistic way.

Monica will evaluate which style of Acupuncture to use in your treatments. She may even use both!

Acupuncture treatments are relaxing. You may even have an “acu-nap”. We aim to make our clinic a serene environment with quiet, dim lighting, spa music, and aromatherapy.

Hi, I’m Monica, and I hope I get to meet you one day! Here’s my story - thanks for reading. 

I began my journey in the healing arts as a personal trainer in 1998.   Eventually this led me to pursue a career in massage - I completed the Thai Massage Practitioner Program and Therapeutic Touch Training, which made me hungry for more knowledge.  As a result, I sought out more training in modalities such as Trigger Point Therapy, Raindrop Therapy, and Thai Herbal Compress Massage.

After years of practicing, I realized I wanted to help people on a deeper level, working with internal medicine - which made me enroll in Chinese Medicine school. I received my Diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine - which totaled 3,450 hours of training over four and a half years of intensive full-time study. I am currently registered as a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner, Chinese Herbalist, and Acupuncturist through the CTCMA.

I also finds great enjoyment instructing at the Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences, teaching core subjects - which truly allows me to stay current with my knowledge.

For years after that, I studied and certified in Injection Therapy and Prolotherapy, and apprenticed under Dr. Joel Kailia for a year. Even though I am not currently not offering these services due to changes in regulations, the experience has brought me a much deeper understanding of the human body,

Most recently, I’ve been studying to become an Osteopath - which will be completed in August 2021. I’ve already been practicing these techniques in my treatments with great success and results.  I love Osteopathy!

I believe you’ll find that my personality is friendly and caring, and I am vigilant in delivering safe treatments for my patients.  I take pride in having intent listening skills, and focused treatments, which are sure to provide results.    I am particularly passionate about providing relief and lasting results to patients who feel hopeless about their chronic pain.

With two decades of experience working with the human body, you can be sure that I’ll try my absolute best to address your needs.

Hope to see you soon!    

Warmly,

Monica Ander
