A Medicine Rich With History

Treating The Whole Person

The road to healthy living

Oriental Medicine is a refined medical system, which has been used for more than 2000 years to diagnose and treat illness, prevent disease and improve well-being.  It is effective for physical, psychological and emotional problems.

Healing unfolds in many stages.  Though each stage we undergo a movement within us to meet the stage and travel through it.  Oriental medicine masters the art of addressing the matrix of healing.  Each stage is met independently of the other, and treatment is administered according to how each stage manifests in an individual’s body system.  A true statement is that the body system of two separate individuals will not manifest disease in the same way.  With this sophisticated medicine we can treat each person uniquely and independently.  This is why Chinese Medicine can treat such a wide range of illnesses.

So as you can see we are all Rare Birds, similar to each other in physiology, but not in expression.

As a Doctor of Oriental Medicine my goal is that you maintain good health so that your body doesn’t fall into disharmony, but instead remains in a state of homeostasis and vitality.

We must teach ourselves to find a way through the fear of uncertainty of illness into self-care and advocacy.  In many ways it is our illness that teaches us the cure.  Together I will work with you and educate you about your healing process so that you can take an active part in your healing.

  SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT     SERVICES  

Whenever eminent physicians treat an illness, they must quiet the spirit and settle the will, they must be free of wants and desires, and they must first develop a heart full of great compassion and empathy. They must pledge to devote themselves completely to relieving the suffering of all sentient beings.

What Patients Say About RareBird Acupuncture Clinic

Jean has a unique way about how she goes about her treatments, combining traditional practices with intuitive abilities. I was amazed how I barely felt the needles going in! I have never experienced this with other practitioners. After my treatments with Jean I discovered health issues that I now have recovered from. Jean’s awareness also helped me to focus on some areas of my body that needed direct attention which has been super valuable. I HIGHLY recommend Jean to anyone seeking relief and guidance in their health and emotional healings.

Jean provided my first ever acupuncture treatment. I didn't come to her with a specific ailment, but we spoke enough about my general history that Jean was able to quickly decide on a course of treatment. Jean's bedside manner was quiet, confident & reassuring. Her insertion and removal of the needles was absolutely painless. I was so relaxed, I fell asleep during the treatment. I felt wonderful afterwards. I didn't want it to end. Highly recommended!

Jean is a gem, caring and concerned with a wealth of knowledge. Her treatment of my various complaints, primarily dealing with aches and pains due to arthritis always gave me relief. I cannot say enough about her treatment of my concerns and highly recommend her to all my friends.

Jean Loscalzo of Rare Bird Acupuncture is wonderful. I have long standing back problems due to an autoimmune disorder. In addition to pain and lack of mobility, it causes sleep problems, thyroid dysfunction, fatigue, and anxiety. She is able to use her many tools to help me to have more energy and pain relief. One very helpful trait is adaptability- I recently came in with severe back pain and she used a variety of techniques that together helped a lot! Her treatments also improve my sleep and stress level tremendously. I can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you for all your help, Jean!
