01 / About
Integrating Mind and Body
I offer acupuncture and all the practices within the scope of acupuncture: e-stim, cupping, guasha, tuina, herbal medicine, as well as collaborate with western medical providers through lab requisitioning and interpretation and complementary, cooperative treatment. My focus is on integrating mind and body, understanding they are one system.

Amy Righter
I am a recovering criminal defense attorney. While in practice, I provided legal services to defend the rights of those who otherwise couldn't afford it. I am now focused on mind and body health and driven to provide access to healthcare to those who otherwise cannot access it due to geography or finances.
