6 month coaching programs are recommended, but special customized lengths may be offered depending on needs. Treatment plans may include a number of different modalities that are not just rooted in East Asian Medicine, but also pulled from my background in manual therapies and subtle energy techniques.

Here are a list of general focuses we will have during our sessions:

(Optional) Lab Testing: Lab testing and analysis to help pinpoint more accurate and efficient treatment strategies and track progress

Lifestyle: Explore your patterns around stress levels, sleep, movement, elimination, etc.

Food as Medicine: How can we realign ourselves to a way of eating that resonates with our individual bodies. For example, exploring autoimmune specific elimination diets such as the Autoimmune Protocol for a short amount of time (4-6 weeks) to help identify trigger foods and encourage nutrient dense eating.

Herbal Formulas: Discuss utilizing herbal formulas customized to your needs (Please note: cost for herbs are separate from telemedicine session)

Support systems and Health Advocacy: Who do you have on your team and how can I support you in creating that team. Can I help you navigate the health system and better advocate for your needs: i.e. Prepare you for speaking to your doctor or organizing medical data

Review of Family and Personal History and how that affects your present self and situation

Physical At-Home Activities: I may help guide you in the use of gua sha, cupping, acupressure, ear seeds, self-massage techniques

My name is Celine Barrica. I am a Licensed Acupuncturist, East Asian Medicine Herbalist, Certified Autoimmune Paleo Coach, and Certified Massage Therapist. I practice with a holistic approach to explore all of the different factors that may affect a person’s health, and I hope to empower and encourage my patients to advocate for themselves and their needs.

My practice focuses on addressing autoimmune conditions and chronic illness. I came into healing work first as a patient, and along with experiencing my own autoimmune journey, I understand the difficulties navigating the health system, and the emotional, mental, and physical struggles involved. Working with me will help you to better understand what you need to thrive and improve the quality of your life.
