ACUPUNCTURE

Lesha Jacyszyn L.Ac. is licensed and trained in all aspects of traditional Chinese Medicine and specializes in the area of digestive health issues. She provides relief for those who suffer with I.B.S., Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, GERD, and gastritis.  She also helps manage weight loss, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Lesha uses a holistic approach to balance the root cause of a person’s condition through a combination of acupuncture, customized herbal formulas, dietary therapy, and lifestyle guidance. She also is trained in tui na (twee nah) which is a type of Chinese medical massage for people in pain.

This massage is more invigorating than a spa-style massage to increase blood circulation, break up adhesions in the fascia and increase the flow of Qi. Tui na incorporates gentle stretches as well and feels great. Lesha also provides cupping therapy and gua sha.

For those looking for a psycho/emotional/spiritual balancing session for anxiety, depression, or just feeling “off”, Lesha is trained in esoteric acupuncture developed by renowned practitioner Dr. Mikio Sankey. This form of acupuncture uses sacred geometry patterns that are gridded onto the body using key acupuncture points that balance the emotions of love and fear. After a session, many people experience shifts of consciousness with gifts of personal insight.

MASSAGE: BROWN MOUNTAIN BODYWORK

CHRONIC PAIN RELIEF

Back, neck, and hip pain are the most common reasons why people seek medical massage therapy. Many people experience more relief from back pain with therapeutic massage than any other single treatment.

NO PAIN, MORE GAIN

Unlike some pain relief therapies, this approach doesn’t require you to go through pain to get out of pain. Working within your body’s natural limits relaxes the nervous system and encourages the muscles to release.

STRUCTURAL BODYWORK

Postural distortions and muscular imbalances are the cause for most myofascial pain issues. If your body is structurally out of balance, it begins to function improperly, causing excessive wear and tear, and ultimately leads to pain.

NATUROPATHY

Naturopathic medicine is an evidence-based health care profession that emphasizes prevention, finding the root cause of dysfunction, and natural treatments. The practice of naturopathic medicine includes both state-of-the-art modern labs and techniques and traditional evaluations and treatments.

The following principles are the foundation of naturopathic medicine:

• The Healing Power of Nature (Vix Medicatrix Naturae): Naturopathic medicine recognizes the self-healing process in people that is the best healing tool. Naturopath doctors focus on removing obstacles to cure and facilitating this inherent wisdom.

• Identify and Treat the Causes (Tolle Causam): Identifying and removing the underlying cause of dysfunction and illness rather than suppressing symptoms is the focus of naturopathic medicine.

• First Do No Harm (Primum Non Nocere). Avoiding harm is key to patient care. Naturopathic medicine utilizes the least force necessary to evaluate and treat, prescribes medicinal substances that have the least harmful side effects, and acknowledge, respect and work with an individual’s beliefs and self-healing process.

• Doctor as Teacher (Docere): Naturopathic physicians educate their patients and encourage self-responsibility for health and wellness.

• Treat the Whole Person: Naturopathic physicians take into account the individual physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, social, and spiritual factors.

• Prevention: Naturopathic physicians emphasize the prevention of disease by assessing risk factors, genetics and susceptibility to dysfunction and then making appropriate treatment suggestions in partnership with their patients.

Tara Brach, Jonathan Foust, Jack Kornfield and Kristen Neff are inspiring cornerstones of my development, especially in my completion of a two-year certification program as a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher and as an instructor of Mindful Self Compassion.” Deborah Burns

I will help you discover the path to restoring your sense of well-being and ability to know your path forward.

Homeopathy

Frank Russo is a classical homeopath certified by the Council for Homeopathic Certification, in the United States. He received his diploma from International Academy of Classical Homeopathy in Greece and in the United States. He is a board-certified family nurse practitioner, receiving his master’s degree from Columbia University, and has 30 years of clinical experience. In addition, he is a musician, having received a master’s of music in composition from the Juilliard School, as well as studying privately with Nadia Boulanger in Paris.

As an RN and an FNP, he has worked with both children and adults in the hospital and in primary care. He has cared for geriatric patients in their homes and in nursing homes. He continues to practice as a nurse practitioner, providing mental-health and substance-abuse services in Western North Carolina. Privately, he sees both children and adults in his homeopathic practice. In 2015, he founded HomeoWorks PLLC, which is based in Asheville, North Carolina.

The National Center of Homeopathy’s definition of classical homeopathy includes the following guiding principles:

• The law of similars: The “like cures like” law of nature states that a substance that can cause a “sickness” in a healthy person can help restore health to a person suffering with a similar “sickness.”

• Minimum dose: In homeopathy, a person takes just enough of a homeopathic remedy—an extremely minute dose—to stimulate their body’s own healing response. Homeopathic remedies are derived from substances in the animal, mineral, and plant kingdoms.

• Totality of symptoms: Homeopathy recognizes that each person exhibits sickness in a unique way. A classical homeopath determines the remedy that matches the unique symptom profile of the individual.

• Single remedy: Only one remedy is given at a time.

The practice of homeopathy is not the same as other complementary medicine practices, and should not be confused with naturopathy, herbalism, or traditional Chinese medicine. Homeopathy is a unique therapeutic healing system.

Homeopathy can help strengthen the body to overcome acute illnesses, such as colds, flus, and earaches (to name a few). Throughout the world, symptoms of Covid-19 have been shown to be successfully treated with homeopathy. For chronic conditions—such as asthma, depression, anxiety, autism, and arthritis—it is best to work with a professional homeopath to guide the process needed to support the body during long-standing health concerns.
