Alchemical acupuncture & Chinese herbal medicine

A Transformative Approach

As an experienced practitioner of Traditional East Asian Medicine and Alchemical Healing, I work with your body’s innate capacity to achieve balance.

I seek to understand each person’s unique path, so that our work together can be a catalyst for greater wholeness and authenticity.

Individualized care in a safe & relaxed setting

Our appointments take place in my cozy home office with a private treatment room and full herbal apothecary.

Corner of a cozy room decorated with yellow walls, a small wooden table with a lamp, books, and tissues, and an upholstered chair. There are two small windows with plants, ornaments, and framed art. A wooden dresser with flowers, cups, and water.
A cozy acupuncture treatment room with a massage table covered in a pink sheet, a pillow, and a lamp on a green wall. Four maps of acupressure charts are hanging on the wall around the table.

Welcome!
I’m Alice Spitzner Claussen.

I believe in treating the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. I am a general practitioner of Traditional East Asian Medicine, though I have a special interest in women's health, digestive health, and emotional health. I believe in the patient being an active participant in achieving and maintaining their own health, and I honor the power of embodiment and intuition.
