Pilar Valencia, M.Ac., L.Ac. Licensed Acupuncturist, Gaithersburg, Maryland

I am dedicated to support and cultivate an awareness of health that includes being joyful, energetic, conscious and authentic. Acknowledging that the symptoms are ingenious messengers that help us heal, grow and transform into a more integrated, whole and vibrant human beings.

When the symptom occurs, remember that it's a message and not a problem. The symptom may be uncomfortable, painful, or even agonizing, but it is not a problem. Instead, it's precisely that which points to the problem. It is what is guiding you toward diagnosis and treatment.
