MEET DR. MARK

With nearly a decade of experience as a licensed acupuncturist, I've dedicated the past 18 years of my life to the practice of holistic healing. Based in Galesburg, IL, I've blended my passion for natural medicine with my love for sustainable living, cultivating an urban farm where I, along with my wife Barbe, nurture a thriving vegetable garden, tend to a flock of chickens, and proudly serve as a registered beekeeper. My journey in traditional medicine and sustainable farming has uniquely equipped me to appreciate the interconnectedness of nature and human health, and I'm excited to share my knowledge and commitment to holistic well-being with you. Welcome to my world of healing through harmony with the environment and your body.

ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture, a time-tested therapy, involves the precise placement of fine needles at specific points on your body to rebalance your energy flow, providing effective relief from pain and reducing stress. This holistic approach also nurtures your body's innate healing abilities, promoting improved overall health and well-being.

ELECTROACUPUNCTURE

Electroacupuncture combines traditional acupuncture with gentle electrical stimulation. By inserting fine needles at specific points on your body and adding this modern twist, I enhance the effectiveness of pain relief, muscle tension reduction, and overall wellness.

CUPPING

A centuries-old healing practice, cupping involves placing cups on your skin and creating a gentle suction effect. This technique promotes improved blood circulation, relieves muscle tension, and encourages the body's natural detoxification process.

GUA SHA

Gua Sha, a traditional Chinese therapy, involves gently scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to stimulate blood flow and promote the body's natural healing mechanisms. This technique can alleviate muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve overall circulation.

MOXIBUSTION

A technique that involves burning a special herb called moxa near acupuncture points on your body. Moxa's heat stimulates these points, promoting circulation, relieving pain, and addressing various health issues. This therapy, in combination with acupuncture, can be part of your personalized treatment plan to enhance your well-being and balance.

PULSE DIAGNOSIS

I use pulse diagnosis to assess your health. By feeling your pulse at various points on your wrist, I can detect imbalances and health issues. This helps me create a personalized treatment plan to restore balance and promote healing in your body.
