Meet Ausra Januseviciute
Ausra is a Licensed Acupuncturist and is Board Certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) in acupuncture and Chinese herbology.

Aside from the exceptional training that included both allopathic and traditional Chinese medicine, Ausra also completed clinical internships with several of Chicago’s well-established and experienced practitioners.
Through the experience, Ausra came to recognize the vital energy inherent in all beings and that by activating and facilitating this flow of energy, the body’s ability to heal naturally is significantly accelerated. With further study and training in energy healing and dedicated practice in meditation, Ausra developed subtle energy cultivation. Using modalities such as Qi Gong, Reiki, Matrix Energetics and Chakra Balancing in conjunction with Traditional Oriental Medicine, Ausra is able to efficiently address all aspects of an individual’s health: body, mind and spirit.

Traditional Chinese Medicine
|
 What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?TCM includes a range of traditional medical practices originating in China. Although well accepted in the mainstream of medical care throughout East Asia, it is considered an alternative medical system in much of the western world. TCM theory originated thousands of years ago through meticulous observation of nature, the cosmos, and the human body.
TCM practices include such treatments as herbal medicine, acupuncture, dietary therapy, and both Tui na and Shiatsu massage. Qigong and Taijiquan are also closely associated with TCM.
Traditional Chinese medicine is largely based on the philosophical concept that the human body is a small universe with a set of complete and sophisticated interconnected systems, and that those systems work in balance to maintain the healthy function of the human body. According to the medicine, disease arises when one or more systems becomes excess or deficient due to a number of factors such as emotions, diet, work load, or trauma. This imbalance disrupts the harmony and the channels or meridians (passageways transporting qi, blood, and fluids) can become blocked leading to pain and disease. There is a saying, “where there is pain, there is no free flow, where there is free flow, there is no pain.” |
