Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine
Is Acupuncture Right For You?
partnership
My goal is to make sure Acupuncture is safe, relaxing, gentle, and effective. As an Acupuncturist with over 20 years' experience, I really get to know you and can guarantee guarantee consistent and personal care that is equal to your needs. I'm so excited to help you on your health journey!
MY STYLE OF ACUPUNCTURE
Less needles and faster & more long-lasting results are what you can expect with the style of Acupuncture in which I specialize, Master Tung's Acupuncture.
DOES IT HURT?
I treated a 12 year old who was so nervous every muscle was stiff as a board. When I put in the first needle, he burst out in a huge peal of laughter He said, "THAT WAS IT??!!" I said - yup. People usually doze off during Acupuncture treatments, because it's so relaxing.
What's Acupuncture For?
I have a specialty in women's health & hormonal health, but also treat all types of conditions. Acupuncture is the first thing I think of for pain, insomnia, stress & anxiety, the immune system, the respiratory system, the cardiovascular system, and anti-aging. I also treat a group of patients to help with the side effects and progression of Parkinson's.
How We Make Acupuncture Safe During COVID
You or I will cancel if we've had a known Exposure
We're more familiar with how this works now. If you or I have a known exposure - we'll cancel - to keep it safe for everyone.
Masks work - and we'll wear them
Everyone who comes into the office will be required to wear a mask the entire time they are in the building. This helps decrease exposure for everyone.

What About Herbal Medicine?
The right combination of herbs can help with everything from symptomatic relief to radically improving your health on the deepest levels.

The Best Quality Herbs
I've found that sourcing not only the cleanest & safest, but the highest quality medicinal herbs makes all the difference. You can take herbs all day long and not get anywhere near the results you'll get with the best quality versions of the very same herbs.

Tonics VS Medicinals
Most Chinese Herbs are medicinal. They're great for when you're sick. But because I specialize in Tonic (adaptogenic) herbs, my combinations can help you achieve "Radiant Health: Health beyond danger.".

When To Choose Herbs
If you're looking to proactively promote wellness, a customized 3 Treasures Tonic Herbal Program benefits both body and mind, helping you achieve your health and life goals. Herbs can also be used for individual challenges as they arise.
My in-person practice is for Acupuncture only.
If you're interested in working with me on herbs - great it's one of my biggest loves! I have an online program for women 28 and older where you can work with me closely to find your customized combinations of herbs, become empowered to understand and maximize them, and continue to keep them updated over time.
The program is my joy, and the results are amazing. To learn more, join me in a FREE Online Class - save a seat in the next one at www.danalavoielac.com/masterclass or contact me directly with questions at danalavoielac@gmail.com

What Clients Say About Working With Dana
I‘ve only seen my chiropractor once in the last several months and I used to go weekly or several times per week.
I’ve noticed I no longer need to see my chiropractor or get massage since I’ve been getting weekly acupuncture treatments with Dana. Even though we’re working on hormonal issues, there must be something about acupuncture that helps my chronic hip pain. I‘ve only seen my chiropractor once in the last several months and I used to go weekly or several times per week. I also used to get massage every other week and don’t feel the need (or have the time) for it.
I have feeling in my calf for the first time in 20 years...
After a few acupuncture sessions with Dana, I now have feeling in my left calf for the first time in 20 years, and I can also feel 2 toes on my left foot. Thank You!
Breast Pain & Cysts
Before coming to Dana, I was dealing with severe breast pain as well as too many complex breast cysts to be counted. The pain was so severe that I was avoiding all physical contact. There were days when even my clothing hurt. My cysts required me to get mammograms and ultrasound every 6 months for 2 years. In addition to the emotional stress of these appointments, I was also dealing with the physical pain they caused.
Dana recommended a course of treatment which included herbs as well as acupuncture. Within a couple of weeks, my breast pain was dramatically reduced. After a month, it was completely gone. While the cysts are not gone, they have reduced both in size and number. They are now at the point that I no longer require frequent scans. In fact, my last mammogram was the first in years that did not include a call back.
My husband claims that my PMS mood swings were almost non-existant
Thank you so much for sharing the benefits of the Goji and Schizandra drops at the last gathering. Being a Health Coach, I am pretty good about knowing how to understand my body and help others do the same. But the one thing i was missing was my hormonal balance. I started taking it 2 weeks before my period was due and boy did it make a difference. First, my husband claims that my PMS mood swings were almost non-existant, my cramping was very minimal, and I only had 1 day of heavy bleeding. ON an even better note, it has significantly improved my libido. Usually I wait at least a week after a period to have sex but my husband was pleasantly surprised when i initiated only a few days later. He kept wondering when my "Prime" would hit (since they say its in the 30s) and I guess I can say that I hit mine at 36 with the help of Goji and Schizandra drops. I will be sure to share this and your services in general with my clients. I look forward to sitting down with you in the future, maybe for coffee or tea or something and talk about how we can work together to help others heal.
The first thing that worked for my PMS & anxiety
I've tried many different remedies to help with mood swings during PMS and also with anxiety. I was hesitant to spend more money and possibly be disappointed yet again, but My mood swings associated with PMS changed drastically with Dana's help.
Neuropathy relief during chemo
After starting a course of chemo.. I experienced a return of the severe electric, burning pain I had in my legs during my last round of chemo. It's so bad it goes up my legs all the way to my thighs. I am unsteady on my feet and can't drive.
After 1 acupuncture treatment with Dana, my pain was reduced by 60-70%. I felt much better overall and was able to rest and sit still.
I couldn't sleep at night due to arthritis..
I didn't believe in acupuncture until I tried it. I couldn't sleep at night because my shoulders hurt from arthritis. After one treatment, the pain was almost gone. After the second, I was sleeping like a baby. I won't ever stop coming to see Dana. She is awesome!!! Come see her, you won't regret it.
Leg Cramps and Saving Eyesight
I've been working with Dana for just over 3 months. I started with Acupuncture and herbs, and for the past two months I've just been taking the herbs. When I started, my diabetes was out of control. I was having leg cramps every night that were so intense I dreaded the sun going down. The pain was severe and went on for hours. I couldn't find any relief, and I couldn't get any sleep. I was also depressed, my blood sugars were out of control. I have also bee seeing a specialist eye doctor every 2-3 months for the last 6 years, and I was afraid I was going to lose my vision because of the diabetes. After working with Dana, my leg cramps are 99% gone, I'm sleeping pretty much through the night, my mood is so much better - and at my last appointment with the eye doctor he said I didn't need to see him any more unless something happened. This was such a huge relief - and something I never thought would happen!
Acupuncture with Dana feels like having laughing gas
Dana is like another mom- she really cares and listens, and having acupuncture with Dana feels like having laughing gas at the dentist.

Constipation secondary to Parkinsons
Constipation is common element that needs to be managed as we age. In my case it is s exaggerated by my Parkinson’s
Dana was confident there were a few points on the body that would relieve constipation, if I needed help in addition to the over the counter meds I take for it on daily basis.
Today was particularly difficult, and we decided to try acupuncture. As soon as the needles came out, I felt the need for the bathroom - and treatment was an absolute success. It seemed to be too good to be true that it could work so quickly, but I won’t question the result. In fact, it seemed the best thing I could do would be to spread the word about my experience
Dana always gets me feeling better AND taking better care of myself
When I go to Dana for treatment, I feel safe, protected and cared for. Dana has such a calm and welcoming presence. She listens and observes very carefully. Her knowledgeable perspective and skillful treatments always get me both feeling better and taking better care of myself
Acupuncture & Herbs for Anxiety & Depression
Acupuncture with Dana has changed my life! Just before I started acupuncture I had gone through countless drugs trying to get relief form anxiety and depression. The acupuncture and herbs have mellowed me out, and now I no longer yell at my child every day. Yay!:) Thank You!
