Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical therapy that has been used for thousands of years. Acupuncture's primary functions have always been in the areas of health promotion, disease prevention, and disease treatment. These methods are grounded in the belief that energy travels through the body along paths called meridians and out through specific acupoints. When there is a steady stream of energy moving through the meridians, the body stays in good shape.

Hunter and Teresa Thompson are both certified health coaches. They decided to become health coaches to complement the practice of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. For those who do not wish to utilize either of those modalities, health coaching is a great way to improve lifestyle and benefit wellness in body, mind, and spirit.
Chinese herbal medicine is widely regarded as a wonderful complement to acupuncture treatment. Many practitioners use Chinese herbs as a way to offer continual therapeutic input into the body between acupuncture treatments. By taking herbs on a daily basis, the positive momentum created by acupuncture is enhanced.
