Due to social distancing guidelines my practice is on pause at this time. I will email current patients once I resume in-person practice. If you would like to schedule a virtual consultation please email me to set up a meeting at: mmthoreson@gmail.com.
Wishing you health, resilience, creativity and connection during these COVID times . . .

Traditional East Asian Medicine is a holistic medicine which supports your body's natural ability to heal. I use acupuncture, bodywork (tuina, shiatsu, sotai) and herbs to address disease and to support resilient health.
In addition, I may suggest movement work, relaxation techniques, Qigong and/or dietary adjustments based on East Asian health principles.
Common patterns addressed include, yet are not limited to:
Allergies / Sinusitis
Anxiety and Depression
Stress relief
Menopausal Symptoms
Menstrual Disorders
Insomnia
Asthma
Pain: low back, neck, shoulder
Migraines / Tension Headaches
Plantar Fasciitis
Carpal Tunnel
Fibromyalgia
Digestive Disorders
Immune system support
Cancer: adjunctive support and relief
of chemo/radiation side-effects.
FIRST VISIT PREPARATION
Please bring your completed Health Profile and Consent forms (link below) and allow up to an hour and a half for the visit. Plan to wear or bring loose, comfortable clothing as I may need to assess and/or treat limbs, abdomen, back and neck. Women may want to bring shorts and a tank top or sports bra. Men may want to bring a pair of gym shorts. Parking in Ballard is variable so you should plan to budget a bit of extra time. If you arrive early, please take a few minutes to relax in the waiting room before your appointment begins.
