  About    
 

Gabrielle Mathieu L Ac


I am a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), license number AC 00641 awarded by the Texas Board of Medical Examiners. My graduate degree in TCM involved more than 400 hours of herbal studies, and supervision of more than 850 treatments.

Additionally, I am licensed as a practitioner of Shiatsu therapy by the American Organization for Bodywork Therapies of Asia. I studied Zen Shiatsu with Pam Ferguson, an internationally known author and practitioner.

I believe that traditional Asian medicine and Western medicine can work side by side. My undergraduate degree is in medical technology, and for twelve years I worked as a lab tech in hospitals with diverse populations.

 

 

Each year I continue to expand my knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine. New reference books in my library are devoted to speciality topics such as cancer and fertility. I take the opportunity to get treatments from well-known senior practitioners when visiting cities such as Boston and San Francisco. I participate in on-line forums, and communicate with other health care providers. I do this so I can be prepared for complex, as well as simple, cases.

Combining my education and experience, I can offer you the best of both worlds. If you are ill, I can help you understand your medical doctor's treatment plan, and supplement it with complementary medicine when applicable. If you are interested in optimizing your health, TCM has much to offer you. The subtle arts of pulse diagnosis and tongue reading enable us to identify the shifts in health that precede disease. If you are unsure if TCM can benefit you, an initial 10-minute consultation is available free of charge.
