FAQs

with Ursula

  • While I take and treat your health
    and body seriously, I think there's still room for joy and laughter in
    and as a part of medicine.

  • I strongly feel that it doesn't have to be an, "all
    or nothing," situation. Combining TCM with Western medicine is often
    the best approach. I'm happy to meet you where you are right now --
    we're a team.

  • That I genuinely care and listen.

  • While TCM and Acupuncture are rooted in ancient
    evidence-proven practices and knowledge, it's always fun and exciting
    to witness almost "magical" effects or results in person.

  • I always
    play the green Yoshi.
