Welcome To
Barbara A Mahler’s Practice
Licensed Acupuncturist, Traditional Oriental Medicine,
Functional Medicine, & Coaching
Humans can be described as being ‘between heaven and earth’. We contain a spark of the divine and our bodies are made entirely of the same material as the earth. The ebb and flow of seasons, days and nights, floods and droughts are within us. Just as our beautiful planet holds endless treasures; each person contains deep reservoirs of wisdom, clarity, understanding, love, and health.
Barbara listens deeply to her patients and to the subtle messages that the body is sending. She works with each individual to determine what resources to employ in their healing. Where it is needed, Barbara uses the skills from her vast clinical experience and her intuition to help nourish, balance, and/or clear blocked energy, to pave the way for healing.
“Barbara’s treatments are amazingly therapeutic, unique, comprehensive, and calming to the nervous system. Her approach is targeted at treating the whole body, mind, and soul. I have never met such a warm and wise practitioner who listens intently to my symptoms, but really pays attention and treats the underlying cause. Barbara’s awareness of the subtle, the unseen, and the emotional layers of my physical issues is really what sets her apart from other practitioner’s I have seen.“
