The Transitions Acupuncture Clinic was literally thousands of hours in the making. Sandi spent the first decade of their career working in healthcare-related fields but missed interacting directly with people. That’s when Sandi experienced the power of Traditional East Asian Medicine for the first time and decided to study the medicine at the Colorado School of Chinese Medicine, the state’s oldest and most trusted program. There Sandi was immersed in traditional medicine with a grounding in Western medical practices. After almost 3,000 hours of schooling, Sandi has spent more than 10,000 hours treating patients in private practice and was honored to be named Buena Vista’s Top Alternative Healer, three years in a row before moving to Tucson in 2021.
Acupuncturist
Sandi obtained a Master’s of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine and has been in practice for eight years. Sandi specializes in mental health, digestive troubles, and pain. Utilizing acupuncture, herbs, cupping, gua sha, and moxibustion to help patients heal, Sandi is excited to make a space that centers the LGBTQIA community in Tucson where they live with their two children and too many animals to count.
Embraced by people around the world, Traditional East Asian Medicine (TEAM) is natural, safe, cost-effective, and has been trusted for centuries.
Most importantly, it works; restoring wellness and promoting health within the whole body.
The use of herbal medicine is a time-honored practice. Unlike Western medicines, Chinese herbal formulas are derived from natural ingredients including items you would probably find in your spice cupboard such as garlic, ginger, and cinnamon. These balanced and nourishing natural formulas don't carry the side effects commonly associated with Western drugs and are very powerful in treating a variety of conditions including digestive troubles, stress, and sleep problems.
Acupuncture uses disposable sterile needles inserted into specific points on the body to release tight muscles, activate the body's natural healing response, and promote wellbeing. The needles are so thin, it’s common for patients to not even feel the process. For young children or sensitive adults, this can also be done without needles by applying acupressure.
Common aches and pains treated at Transitions include sprains and strains, sports injury, back pain, sciatica, tight neck and shoulders, knee pain, injuries from car accidents, fibromyalgia, and much more.
Stress and anxiety are a part of our modern lives, but at times can begin to interfere with your ability to enjoy life, relax, or heal. Transitions Acupuncture Clinic can treat your daily stress and help return your body and mind back to a state of natural relaxation.
Whether you have hard time falling asleep, staying asleep, or find yourself waking up feeling unrested acupuncture and herbs can help. Transisitons promises that a good night’s sleep awaits you.
Acupuncture can help your body regulate hormones so that you feel balanced and healthy. Sandi supports patients that need help in conceiving, balancing menstrual discomfort or irregularities and relieving pain from PCOS. They also treat Thyroid dysfunction, sluggish metabolism and menopause.
Supporting your digestive health is vital to your quality of life. Transitions treats digestion challenges ranging from IBS, Crohn's, Diverticulitis, food sensitivities, sluggish digestion, and acid reflux. All of these problems respond to Chinese medicine very well and many of our patients find relief they didn't think was possible.
As a parent of two, Sandi has a passion for working with children. If you are seeking health support for your child, these gentle and effective medicine practices can be used to treat kids from birth. Acupressure, herbs, and moxa can be used to help with difficulties ranging from ADHD to acne, broken bones to anxiety.
