Healthy Body. Vibrant Life.
Hormones play an important role in nearly every aspect of our health. As we age, changes in hormone balance can affect both women and men, influencing energy, sleep, mood, mental clarity, weight, libido, metabolism, and overall well-being.
My approach combines acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, nutrition, lifestyle guidance, and, when appropriate, functional laboratory assessment to better understand what your body needs. Every treatment plan is personalized because no two people have the same health history, symptoms, or goals.
Acupunture
Dr. Daniele works in the Balance Method — a sophisticated distal-needling system developed by Dr. Richard Tan that addresses pain in one part of the body by treating points on another, often producing measurable relief inside a single session. She trained directly with Dr. Tan and with Dr. Brad Whisnant, two of the field's most rigorous teachers in pain-focused acupuncture.
AcuPoint Injection Therapy
For more chronic or stubborn patterns, Daniele layers in point injection — delivering homeopathic or herbal solutions at specific points for a deeper, longer-lasting effect than needling alone. It is an advanced certified technique that not every acupuncturist offers, and it is often what changes the picture for patients who have plateaued on other approaches.
Eastern Bodywork
Acupressure, tui na, cupping, and gua sha — manual therapies grounded in the same diagnostic lens as the needling, used to release the muscular and fascial patterns that hold pain in place between sessions. Cupping in particular is one of the most immediately relieving treatments most patients have ever experienced, especially for the back, shoulder, and neck patterns common in tennis, golf, sailing, and desk-bound years. Daniele's four decades as a Licensed Massage Therapist mean the bodywork integrates seamlessly with the rest of the protocol — diagnostic, not generic, and not an add-on but part of the same clinical thinking.
