Mindfulness is a conscious meditative practice involving awareness of one’s body, mind and spirit. A famous example of mindfulness is of the Buddha eating an orange. If you don’t think much about eating an orange, it is gone before you know it.
Instead, if you involve all five senses (smell, taste, vision, hearing, and touch) as you peel, taste, observe and feel the orange, it becomes a whole new experience of recognizing the present moment completely and fully. Quiet mindfulness practices may involve sitting and breathing; active mindfulness may be done while walking, talking, or even laughing.
Mindfulness begins with embracing your current state of being, living in the moment. Using the 5 senses (touch, sound, taste, sight, smell), we guide you through the practice of being in the present in your daily life, really appreciating the world around you and how the senses can ground you.
Instilling breathing techniques in your daily activities has been known to reduce stress, recenter ourselves and create a sense of peace. We help build these practices so that you can use these techniques to provide a sense of calm and peace in your daily life.
Love can do wonders for our overall health and well being. Clearing your mind and surrounding yourself with love can clear your mind from negative thoughts and distractions, leading to a peaceful, happier state of mind.
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!
