ALICIA JOHNS, L.Ac., LCSW
Sacred Ground Acupuncture
Tending Body, Mind & Spirit
To move towards healing is to enter a sacred ground that asks us to listen closely, respond intuitively, and trust our innate ability to heal. Whether we focus on restoring balance to the physical, emotional or spiritual, I’ll start from where you are, walk beside you and together we’ll follow where your body, heart and spirit lead.
As a licensed acupuncturist, certified massage therapist and licensed clinical social worker, I combine a range of balancing modalities, including a gentle, effective style of Japanese and 5-Element acupuncture, bodywork, counseling, and a deeper soul level of healing such as work with grief and loss or life purpose. I bring an ability to listen with kindness and heart, and to use these modalities to patiently support you through a natural healing process.
Alicia's Offerings
Acupuncture & Sound Bath Events
Acupuncture and South Baths work hand in hand to support healing and a sense of well-being
in the body. Both modalities aim to rebalance the body’s energy; the vibrational energy of a
Sound Bath can enhance acupuncture as it promotes the smooth movement Qi, or vital energy,
through the body’s pathways. During an acupuncture treatment, many people go into a
relaxation state; Sound Baths will often deepen that state of relaxation which helps the energy
to flow more smoothly during the acupuncture treatment.
Acupuncture and Sound Bath sessions are done in collaboration with a sound healing
practitioner in a group setting. We use vibrational sound healing instruments such as crystal
bowls, tuning forks, drums and Koshi chimes, which encourage relaxation and rejuvenation.
Combined with acupuncture and flower essences, these treatments can brings balance,
grounding and a deep sense of tranquility and comfort, and may help to improve issues such
as problems with sleep, mood, pain, and stress, as well as enhancing the immune system. The acupuncture points we’ll use will be on the limbs, from the elbows down and knees down, so
you will not need to disrobe.
Please note that these group sessions promote general health and well-being but are not
intended to address your specific health concerns. Private, individual acupuncture treatments
with Alicia are available to address specific issues you may have.
Private Acupuncture Sessions with Alicia
During individual acupuncture sessions, we can more personally address your specific
concerns and health goals. I use a Japanese style of acupuncture which is known for gentle, generally pain-free needling using very fine needles to balance the body’s energy. Bringing this kind of balance to the body creates a strong foundation for more specific healing to be addressed. This approach focuses on listening to the body’s guidance through feeling pulses and observing responses to the needles.
I also use 5-Element acupuncture to work with emotional, psychological and spiritual issues. In this approach, the elements of nature are thought to affect our emotions, psychological dynamics and deeper spiritual issues such as sense of purpose, meaning, and ability to find and follow our life’s path. Characteristics of the five elements — fire, earth, metal, water and wood — are within us and can be accessed through acupuncture to support our balance and well being.
If interested, I can combine acupuncture with various modalities such as counseling, massage therapy, and Chinese bodywork techniques, as needed.
