Mood. Menstruation. Movement.
Your body doesn’t compartmentalize pain.
And neither should your care.
It holds stress and it buries grief. It carries hormonal shifts in the same tissue that carries old injuries. Pain, mood, hormones, sleep, digestion. Your body processes all of it together.
Your care should too.
At Rain, nothing is treated in isolation. I start with your main concern. The pain, the struggle, the night sweats, the headaches, the periods that never seem to stop. And then we talk about the whole picture.
We'll then use acupuncture and Chinese medicine to treat the root of what you’re experiencing, not just what showed up on the surface.
Movement. Menstruation. Mood.

Meet Alison
I'm an acupuncturist, personal trainer, and mom of three.
I trained in the United States and treated patients both in the U.S. and during an intense trip to Vietnam. From rehab facilities to integrative clinics to community centers and university health services, I bring an integrative, unhurried approach to every patient I see here.
My background is in movement, women's health, and pain relief. I understand how the physical and emotional body are connected, because i've spend more than two decades watching that connection in other people. Unfortunately or fortunately, I've also had to learn the truth within that connection over and over again throughout my personal journey.
I don't treat symptoms in isolation. I don't offer one-size-fits-all care. It's important to me to take the time to understand your whole picture, because that's the clearest way and most effective way for you to find relief.
You’re treated as a whole person.
Most of my patients come in carrying something their previous care never quite reached.
Not because the care was “bad.” But because it was treating one concentrated piece of a much larger picture.
I am an acupuncturist with a background in personal training, yoga, and athletic conditioning. I’ve found that the body that tenses up under a needle is often the same body that builds compensatory patterns around pain. The body is smart—brilliant—but it doesn’t always know when to let go or how to relax. The shoulder stiffness that keeps coming back is often connected to something that is about so much more than the shoulder.
Chinese medicine has always understood the connection within our entire body… and mind. You are a whole person. When we treat your body as whole, rather than a collection of separate parts, things that have not responded to anything else begin to move.
You don't have to wait until it gets worse.
Small symptoms are signals. Recurring pain is information. A body that feels like it's working against you is asking for attention. For care. For something it hasn't received yet.
You deserve support.
Whether you're ready to start now, or you have questions first, I'd love to hear from you.
