Why Gentle Tides?
We believe that good health is what gives us the capacity to live life fully and navigate challenges & change. As a result, we were born of the desire to provide healthcare that meets these needs — gentle nourishment, given in connection with the body’s innate processes & natural cycles, that empowers adaptability, supports your physical & mental health through challenges and eases transitions.
Gentle Support for Life's Transitions
At Gentle Tides Acupuncture, we specialize in supporting the body and mind through transitions. We know that when you come to a healthcare practitioner, you are seeking support to make a change — whether address a symptom, better your health, prepare for a life event, improve your performance, support healthy aging, or simply take care of yourself — and we believe gentle support is key.
Healing is an ongoing process of change
Illness, injury, and distress, while often deeply painful and difficult, also allow opportunities for healing and growth. When we listen to what these symptoms are telling us, and use gentle redirection to help the body remember how to heal, profound changes can be made.
The symptoms we experience from pain or disease are an indication that the body’s natural processes have been disrupted and a change needs to be made. Healthcare is therefore about understanding the root cause behind the symptoms — what changes need to be made and why — and supporting the processes that make these changes — the innate abilities our bodies have to adapt, heal and grow.
Acupuncture is an extremely effective and gentle form of healthcare because its focus is on restoring balance and supporting the body in its natural processes in a manner and at a pace that is gentle enough to actually be recognized and integrated, producing real results.
Health is a process of constantly changing and adapting, not a static end goal to be reached. Imagine a healthcare that prioritizes listening, understanding, responding to your body’s feedback, and reminding the body how to do what it knows best; a healthcare that trains your body to adapt to change with fluidity and ease — this is a healthcare that has the power to create lasting change.
