Integrative Medicine

Michael Guen, M.S.C.M., Ph.D., L.Ac., Dipl.OM.

People who have reached the end of the line in western medicine, psychiatry and psychology, and who have even hit roadblocks in their journey with holistic and alternative medicine, are grateful for my integrative whole life approach. I offer a full-range of Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies and remedies to assist patients with their medical illnesses, and feature my own advanced techniques in acupuncture orthopedics, TCM psychology, and life renewal, to help people gain ease around and heal from the most challenging mental, emotional and spiritual disorders.

My practice includes a full range of TCM and natural therapy treatments, which are carefully selected after a complete diagnosis of a patient’s whole life condition:

ACUPUNCTURE

Treating internal diseases and disorders, as well as:

1. Pain
2. Gynecological disorders
3. Emotional problems
4. Sexual dysfunction
5. Weight loss
6. Metabolic syndrome
7. Immune deficiency conditions
8. Viral disease

BIOMAGNETIC ACUPOINT THERAPY

1. Bio-magnets used in place of needles on acupoints

HERBAL MEDICINE

TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE (TCM) PSYCHOLOGY

As a healer and teacher I continue to study and find new and innovative ways to help my patients in their healing process. Drawing from eastern and western traditions, I created a “one-effort” approach to therapy whereby all aspects of a patient’s life and experience are believed to play a part in their illness and recovery.

The TCM psychology dimension of the natural therapy I offer guides patients to use their “illness as a spiritual advisor” – to discover and transform the patterns lying at the root of imbalances and dysfunctions. Childhood memories, accidents, trauma, including negative family and relationship experiences, professional challenges, unfulfilled dreams, are all factors that can stagnate personal expression and creativity and in doing so, promote dis-ease.

Studying the symbology of one’s illness or misfortune from the vantage point of spiritual growth, I help my patients define their karma and destiny. Working step by step from the physical up to the spiritual realms in a one-on-one setting supports the development of self-awareness and self-control needed for true resolution and change.

Treating mental-emotional diseases and discomforts, including:

1. Stress
2. Addiction
3. Co-dependence
4. PTSD – trauma
5. Relationship conflict
6. Depression
7. Bipolar conditions

9. Learning disorders
10. Life passage crisis and transition (lack of life meaning, career direction, loss of loved one, health crisis, female and male menopause, aging, empty nest)
