Mind-body Health
Mind-body conditions can present in many forms. They may arise during major life transitions, grief, anxiety, or depression—or in the aftermath of trauma and the physical patterns it leaves behind. For some, the experience feels primarily emotional. For others, it shows up in the body: jaw tension, digestive disruption, fatigue, or pain that resists conventional care.
While these concerns often overlap with chronic illness or musculoskeletal issues, they require a distinct approach. My work focuses on the intersection of physiology, perception, and emotional experience—examining how patterns become embodied and how they can gradually reorganize.
This is not psychotherapy, and I do not function as a mental health provider. Instead, I work with the physical expression of psycho-emotional patterns. That may include exploring history, stress adaptation, and the ways the body carries unresolved experience. When appropriate, I collaborate with therapists or counselors as complementary support.
If you recognize that stress and emotional experience shape the body—but haven’t found care that fully bridges those worlds—this work is designed to meet that intersection directly.
Concerns commonly addressed include:
-
Anxiety, overwhelm, or persistent stress
-
Depression, grief, or emotional flatness
-
Post-traumatic stress and its physical manifestations
-
Difficulty regulating emotions or energy
-
Chronic tension (jaw, neck, abdomen, pelvic floor)
-
Somatic symptoms without clear medical findings
-
Physical symptoms that worsen under stress
-
Sleep disturbance or nervous system dysregulation
-
Feeling disconnected from the body
-
Digestive issues influenced by emotional state

Many people recognize that emotional experience affects the body—but insight alone does not reorganize patterns. This work offers practical, embodied ways to engage those patterns directly. It often complements mental health care by providing a physical entry point into experiences that are difficult to shift through conversation alone.
Services I recommend
General Note: Mind-body concerns often respond best to steady, consistent support. Many people benefit from weekly guidance as patterns begin to shift and integrate.
What my clients say
Lance will surprise you. You will think that you are going to get acupuncture, but you will get so much more. Lance is thorough and will address your whole body as an integrated system. He has made a significant difference for me. Lance is also kind, gentle, and patient, ideal qualities in a care giver.

Without sounding hyperbolic, Lance has dramatically changed my life for the better. His ability to integrate both mind and body into his life and work is exactly what we're all searching for. Health coach, movement coach, life coach, naturopath, acupuncturist ... the list goes on. If you're looking for help, I'd be willing to bet Lance can help, and if he can't, he'll be the first to say so. Highly recommended.
