Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the gentle insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate healing and restore balance. Our treatments address chronic pain, migraines, digestive issues, and emotional health concerns. Patients benefit from personalized sessions that may be combined with additional therapies for enhanced results. The technique promotes natural healing by activating the body's self-regulating systems.
Neuro-Acupuncture
Neuro-acupuncture is a specialized scalp acupuncture technique targeting neurological functions and pain management. This approach effectively addresses conditions such as chronic pain, migraines, and neurological disorders. The therapy stimulates specific scalp areas to activate the central nervous system's healing response. Patients with long-standing conditions often experience significant improvement through this targeted treatment.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine utilizes customized formulations of medicinal herbs to address specific health conditions. Treatments complement acupuncture sessions by providing ongoing internal healing support between appointments. The practice maintains a comprehensive herbal pharmacy to address diverse patient needs. Each prescription is carefully tailored to individual symptoms and constitution for optimal effectiveness.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses controlled suction to improve circulation and release muscle tension in targeted areas. This technique effectively addresses chronic pain, muscle stiffness, and respiratory conditions. The treatment enhances acupuncture's effects by addressing physical blockages in the body's energy flow. Patients often experience immediate relief from tightness and improved mobility after sessions.
Dietary Counseling
Dietary counseling provides personalized nutrition advice to support overall health improvements. The guidance integrates traditional Chinese medicine principles with modern nutritional science. Patients receive practical recommendations to complement their treatment plans and enhance healing outcomes. This service helps identify and address food sensitivities that may contribute to chronic conditions.

Man, I have been struggling for over 5 years since I habe moved to Arizona with severe symptoms posing as valley fever, allergies, respiratory and other viral and bacterial infections. After visiting with over 15 Drs/Specialists over this time, in spending thousands and ending up still sick with no answers and no referrals; I was urged to contact Linda. In one session I was welcomed, heard and educated more today than with any of the other impersonal western medial benefactors.

I wholeheartedly recommend WholeSelf Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine! I have been going to Linda for over a year and a half, and what a difference it is making on me physically, mentally, and emotionally. Lindas bedside manner is awesome as she takes the time to get to know her clients and takes detailed notes so that treatment is effective in as fewest visits as possible. Linda is an expert at her craft and really knows what she is doing! Not only does it give me relief from my Plantar Fasciitis, I have also seen improvement in my blood pressure, my stress level, and my quality of sleep
