Acupuncture, restores the nourishing and balancing function of Qi. Qi is the life (energy) of the human body. By removing what is interfering with our bodies ability to heal, we allow for better health. Through the application of minute needles on specific points (acupoints) how long the body’s “meridians”, acupuncture helps to balance the bodies functions and provides a wide range of powerful solutions to achieve the purpose of relieving symptoms, eliminating causes and improve health.
I began my interest in the study of Acupuncture after taking a tai chi class, it was then that I realized that the body does have a sensitivity and energetic sphere connecting to the deeper aspects of the body.
My schooling was first focused as biologist, which eventually evolved into the study of the human body, and it’s micro workings more so an understanding was developed through as premed and later metaphysics, which lead me to study traditional Chinese medicine took me four years to master the arts.
After securing my Massachusetts state license in 2009 I began working part time with elderly clients and eventually into full time working in pain management issues of acute and chronic conditions ( more than ten years). Skills developed were focused towards each individual persons needs and how I can help them get better.
My focus is treating migraine headaches and headaches in general. Other areas of focus are the treating of neck, back and sacral pain, sciatica, chronic fatigue, PMS and menstrual pain, menstrual cycle regulation, most joint pain, help with digestive unrest. Acupuncture is also good for calming and relaxing.
I use ear seeds, pressure points on the ears/auriculotherapy, to help balance the bodies, hormonal expression/at the level of pituitary, to aid in extend/regulates the acupuncture treatment/sessions and or to help with treating secondary issues.
The philosophy behind pain, and cupping where there is stagnation, there will be pain. Remove the stagnation, and you remove the pain. The use of fire, cupping helps to pull stagnation of the bodies fluids out of the muscle, bringing to the surface of the bodies fascia, making it easier for the immune system to process and eliminate from the body more affectively.
Evergreen Herbs, (brand name), herbal formulas are traditional and modified traditional formulas that can be implemented to help and regulate the bodies disharmony to help bring balance and beneficial, to specific conditions tailored to the individual needs/circumstance. Prescribed herbal formulas in granular (mix with warm water) and capsule form.
Tacks are small/needles (1.5mm long), band-aid like semipermanent, (3-5 days in place), intradermal needles, place on the service of the body to help stimulate treatment/regulation, continually in the management of localize pain or in of the ear to increase stronger stimulation.
My daily weekly routine is focus towards maintaining flexibility by stretching, walking or bicycling daily, staying mentally, and physically, strong are key to long life.

Amy Mercury is an Upledger Institute trained Craniosacral Therapist, and is absolutely thrilled to join the collaborative team at Amherst Healing Arts. In 2009 she began her CST career at the Osher Clinical Center for Integrative Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and now has a private practice specializing in concussion, prolonged-concussion syndrome and other TBI’s. Amy’s life experiences have repeatedly demonstrated that it is our inner beliefs, thoughts and feelings that create our outer reality. With this in mind, Amy honestly and gently guides her clients to re-frame current perspectives to consciously use the mind (neuroplasticity) to facilitate lasting change in the body. Understanding that we all come with a factory-installed inner wisdom, Amy won’t tell you what to do - she thoughtfully and compassionately empowers you to navigate your own unique healing process.
Amy strives to create a safe environment in which her clients can relax and open up to their true core essence of self. Due to traumatic experiences, many of us continually exist in the sympathetic response (fight, flight, freeze, please) of the autonomic nervous system, hampering optimal body function. CST supports autonomic nervous system regulation, reminding the body to operate strongly within the parasympathetic response (repair, rest, digest), inviting calmness and supporting optimal body function.
She has collaborated with her clients to resolve the following issues:

Anxiety
Stress
Heartbreak
Guilt
Shame
TBI's
Concussions
Prolonged-Concussion Syndrome
Headaches & Migraines
Lyme Disease
Fibromyalgia
PTSD
TMJ Syndrome

I have been looking for a good massage therapist for a year because I have some serious problems with my hand and upper back that I have neglected for a long time. A friend of mine gave me a gift certificate for a massage with Haiying Ju. After just 2 massages I feel so much better, and more optimistic about a full recovery (o: Thank you Haiying! See you Saturday.

Business response:

Yay! So happy to help you find relief.

Haiying was recommended to me by a friend. I am so happy that she did because Haiying is amazing! With her knowledge of anatomy and how everything works together, she knows how to get at the root of the problem, not just treat the symptoms. She did a very thorough assessment and spent our time discussing the underlying issues, causes of my pain. She has tremendous manual skills and I could feel many areas releasing as she worked on me. I highly recommend Haiying and I have already booked my next appointment with her.

For my first visit, Elya Rowe customized the session to my particular needs. She was kind, calm, reassuring, and very intuitive, putting me at ease. Combined with this high level of service, she provided a stellar massage that gave resonance to their name -- Amherst Healing Arts. Her goal is truly to heal and not just simply to give you a massage to make you feel better for a just a few hours. Instead, she and the rest of her team seem very committed to heal your specific ailments for the long term.

Business response:

Thank you, so much for your awesome feedback. We are so thrilled at Amherst Healing Arts to have recently expanded and are in the process of putting the finishing touches on this second massage therapy room. The existing drapery was particularly chosen because it provides privacy while allowing for a gently sunlight room. Nonetheless, as the cooler months are approaching, we have plans for adding soft cotton roman shades, too, for warmth and comfort.

I was shaken by that auto accident and I had a bad cold. After the massage, I could breathe better, My body had let go of the stress of the accident and I felt better. The following day when I woke, my cold was resolving itself. I was a bit under the weather from the auto caused trauma as well as my now resolving viral infection. Sunday was a brighter new day.

This was an outstanding massage treatment. My massage felt uniquely attentive to my body and its vulnerabilities. It conveyed caring, clear and excellently pressured attention - and felt in depth and wonderfully supportive to my muscular uncertainties, discomforts - and my spirit! The ambiance is relaxing and kind and beautiful, and the practitioner highly skilled, incorporating excellent reflexology into the overall treatment. I am really pleased to have been directed to this practice.
