Mindfulness is a conscious meditative practice involving awareness of one’s body, mind and spirit. Quiet mindfulness practices may involve sitting and breathing; active mindfulness may be done while walking, talking, or even laughing.
Guided meditation and Hypnosis are treatments that utilizes the mind and body and your imagination to create a safe, peaceful and healing space. Although Hypnosis is a deeper dive into the subconscious, both practices create a sense of peace, to find closure with a stressor or review an unanswered medical or mental health concern.
Often times, our emotional and physical state is directly correlated to the food that we are consuming. Uplift Health teaches or enhances our patients’ understanding behind the science and medicinal value of food, so that they may reach their health goals. Our patients have found that increasing or eliminating the intake of certain foods can have profound affects on reducing inflammatory issues or improving arthritic conditions, anxiety or depression.

Acupuncture from Dr. Trowbridge is a holistic, comfortable, and healing experience. After seeing other acupuncturists with little improvement for my ankle tendonitis, I found Dr. Trowbridge who treated not just my physical symptoms, but my underlying emotional stress contributing to them. My appointments were relaxing and gentle, and Dr. Trowbridge created an easy and safe environment. I never had any concerns, and I really couldn't recommend Dr. Trowbridge more
Dr. Zhiling Trowbridge brought healing for my gut health issues. I was visiting the ER 3-4 times per year and after working with Dr. Trowbridge and following her individualized and comprehensive health plan, I have been symptom free and feel the best I have felt in over a decade. I highly recommend Dr. Trowbridge. She is so compassionate in her care for her patients. I recommend my friends and colleagues to her when they are looking for a wholistic and functional medicine approach to life long health and healing!
I can't recommend Dr. Zhiling Trowbridge's acupuncture services enough! My experience with her has been nothing short of exceptional, and I'm so grateful to have found such a caring and skilled practitioner.
Before my first appointment, I had a phone consultation with Dr. Trowbridge. She took the time to genuinely listen to my concerns and medical history, specifically focusing on my multiple shoulder surgeries and the chronic pain that has plagued me for almost two decades. This thorough conversation instilled confidence in me that she genuinely cared about my well-being and was dedicated to finding the best approach for my condition.
I can't emphasize enough how much relief I've experienced since beginning acupuncture treatments with Dr. Trowbridge. While I'm not completely pain-free, the reduction in pain and inflammation has been remarkable. After 20 years of living with discomfort, it's incredible to find myself able to engage in daily activities without constantly being preoccupied by pain.
If you are on the fence about trying acupuncture, please give it a try. You are in great hands.
I went to Dr Trowbridge after sustaining a shoulder injury during a fall. I was in a lot of pain and had limited mobility in my arm. After a few visits, my pain was alleviated and the mobility in my arm greatly improved. She also supported my mental and emotional stress from the injury. I continue to see her for maintenance treatments and general care. She has a breadth of knowledge in various modalities and she uses a variety of techniques to serve you. She’s kind, gentle, funny, supportive, educational and deeply caring. I love my visits and treatments!
