​

Dr. Martha has advanced training in integrating Western orthopedic diagnostics with Eastern therapeutic principles, studying under Dr. Anthony Von der Muhll, L.Ac., DNBAO. In addition to traditional acupuncture, she incorporates modern and classical modalities such as prolo-acupuncture, dry needling, cupping (myofascial decompression), gua sha, and craniosacral therapy to treat pain, injury, and scar tissue. Her approach blends ancient Eastern wisdom with modern Western techniques to deliver comprehensive and effective care.

​

As a Diplomate in Canonical Herbal Medicine through the Institute of Classics in East Asian Medicine, Dr. Martha trained under Dr. Arnaud Versluys, L.Ac., Ph.D. Canonical Chinese medicine draws exclusively from Han Dynasty (206 BCE–221 CE) medical texts, which form the foundation of all modern Chinese medicine. These classical formulas are designed to restore proper physiology and support the body’s natural capacity for self-healing, fostering long-term balance and wellness.
