ABOUT

The History and Power of Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been practiced for over 3,000 years, originating in China as part of a holistic system of medicine that seeks to restore balance to the body’s energy, or Qi. The foundation of acupuncture is the belief that energy flows through pathways in the body called meridians. When these pathways become blocked or imbalanced, it can lead to pain, illness, and a variety of other health issues.

Stephanie has embraced the wisdom of these ancient practices and integrates them into her treatments at rhodes. Her understanding of how energy flows through the body allows her to target specific acupuncture points that will unlock these blockages, allowing the body to restore balance and function as it should. Whether treating chronic pain, stress, digestive disorders, or emotional challenges, acupuncture is a powerful tool in Stephanie’s holistic toolbox.

Acupuncture has also been recognized in modern medicine for its ability to stimulate the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. It has become a respected alternative and complementary therapy, particularly for pain management and chronic health conditions, offering a natural, drug-free option for patients who are seeking a path to recovery without invasive procedures or medication.

The Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH) Approach

Stephanie’s educational journey at the Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH) plays a critical role in shaping her philosophy and practice. MUIH is renowned for its focus on the integration of traditional healing methods and modern science. The university is built on the belief that true health and healing require a whole-person approach, addressing not just the physical symptoms but also the emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions of well-being.

At MUIH, Stephanie learned the value of mind-body medicine, where the connection between mental health and physical well-being is central to the healing process. This holistic perspective taught her that a patient’s emotional state, stress levels, and lifestyle habits are just as important as their physical symptoms. By understanding the complex interplay between these factors, Stephanie is able to provide her patients with more comprehensive and effective care.

MUIH’s principles of integrative health emphasize the collaboration between different healing modalities. This means that while acupuncture is central to Stephanie’s practice, she also embraces complementary approaches to create a treatment plan that supports the whole person.

Stephanie’s Philosophy & Approach to Patient Care

Stephanie’s approach to healing is deeply personal and highly individualized. She believes that no two patients are the same, and as such, their treatment plans should reflect their unique needs, health history, and personal goals. Her practice is built on the core belief that healing is a journey, not a one-time fix. By taking the time to truly listen to her patients and understand their challenges, Stephanie is able to guide them toward sustainable, long-term wellness.

Her treatments focus on addressing the root cause of illness rather than simply masking symptoms. Through careful diagnosis, which includes pulse and tongue evaluation, and detailed health history analysis, Stephanie uncovers the deeper imbalances in the body that are contributing to her patients’ discomfort.

Beyond the clinic, Stephanie believes in empowering her patients with the tools and knowledge they need to maintain their health. Her holistic wellness consultations often include guidance on nutrition, lifestyle changes, and stress management techniques to help her patients live healthier, more balanced lives.

The Journey to a PhD in Acupuncture

Stephanie’s pursuit of a PhD in acupuncture is a reflection of her dedication to lifelong learning and professional growth. By advancing her studies, she deepens her understanding of acupuncture’s clinical applications, allowing her to offer even more effective and refined treatments to her patients.

Her continued education also ensures that rhodes. remains at the forefront of integrative medicine.
