Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments use ultra-thin needles to stimulate specific points on the body, promoting natural healing and balancing energy flow. This ancient practice effectively addresses pain management, stress reduction, and various health conditions by enhancing the body's self-regulating mechanisms. Patients experience improved energy levels and symptom relief through sessions that combine traditional wisdom with modern medical understanding.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy employs glass cups to create suction on the skin, improving circulation and releasing muscle tension. This technique effectively treats musculoskeletal pain, respiratory issues, and detoxification needs by stimulating blood flow and activating the body's natural healing processes. Sessions may leave temporary markings that indicate areas of stagnation being resolved through enhanced circulation.
Herbal Consultation
Custom herbal formulations combine traditional knowledge with scientific research to address specific health concerns. Using pharmaceutical-grade herbs without additives, we create personalized blends that target root causes of illness rather than just symptoms. This approach ensures maximum effectiveness while maintaining safety and purity in treating both acute and chronic conditions.
Gua Sha Treatment
Gua Sha involves controlled skin scraping to release blocked energy and improve circulation. This technique effectively reduces inflammation, relieves muscle tension, and supports immune function by stimulating microcirculation and metabolic processes. The treatment leaves temporary markings that indicate areas of stagnation being resolved through enhanced blood flow and natural healing mechanisms.
Fertility Enhancement
Fertility enhancement programs combine acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle guidance to optimize reproductive health. These customized treatments improve conception chances for all family-building paths by addressing hormonal imbalances, improving egg quality, and creating optimal conditions for successful pregnancy through natural, evidence-based approaches.

Heard about Herbal Kind and Sherri through a friend. Have been under her care for at least 8 years. She's fantastic!
She's extremely knowledgeable with a great, understated, calm manner. She has trained in China and the breadth of her expertise is apparent after only a short time. I highly recommend her to both first time and experienced "believers" in acupuncture.
She's helped me and members or my family with numerous "issues" incl stress, pain, breathing, allergies and more.

Sherri is a true healer! Her knowledge, background, and expertise is vast and amazing. And her approach with her patients and clients is wonderful; she is factual, calming, and gets to know her patients needs. Sherri is able to cater treatments to her patients bodies and situations with ease. I met Sherri in 2015 when I was trying to conceive to start a family. Her expertise in acupuncture, herbs, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and overall how our bodies are an interconnected environment has been a huge part in helping my cycle, fertility and resulted in two healthy pregnancies.

I started seeing Sherri in November of 2016 for help balancing my cycle and fertility support as my husband and I were trying to conceive.
Sherri is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She reviewed my health history very thouroughly and developed a treatment plan that was tailored to my individual needs. If you are hesitant to try acupuncture, Sherri explains everything clearly and makes the whole experience calming and relaxing. I always feel better after each appointment and enjoy all the benefits acupuncture has to offer! After a few short months, my cycle was greatly improved and my

I first met Sherri when I was at a physical and emotional low point after trying to conceive for over a year. I was told by multiple reproductive endocrinologists that I "had no eggs" , that I wasn't ovulating and that our best option for a successful pregnancy was to buy a donor egg/eggs. All of my hormone levels were low and I was experiencing multiple symptoms of menopause such as night sweats and hot flashes. After following a treatment plan of care by Sherri (for four months) which included weekly acupuncture, herbal tea, dietary changes and minor adjustments to daily living, my dream of conceiving

Love coming here. I've been seeing Sherri for years, sent multiple friends who all love her. She is simply amazing at helping and treating a large variety of health issues. A great alternative for so many different issues that arise. When I'm in need of a doctor I call for an appointment with sherri first. I'm a huge huge believer in acupuncture now that I've seen and felt what it can accomplish without pills!!
