She also gives free lectures on liver health for the community at Five Branches University and HELP! Maureen is a member of the Hepatitis C Task Force of Santa Cruz County, where she works in conjunction with community leaders, county health workers, nurses and doctors to manage this epidemic.
At Cedar Street Healing Arts Clinic Maureen enjoys a diverse clinical practice. She uses both Western and Eastern diagnostic tools in her medical evaluation and diagnosis, so her patients receive the wisdom of both worlds. Maureen uses Eastern methods of diagnosis such as pulse reading, tongue observation and abdominal palpation. In addition, she incorporates Western diagnostic tools such as lab work and imaging reports into her assessment. Maureen utilizes both conventional and alternative lab tests for evaluating gastrointestinal health, hormone levels, food and environmental allergies, and adrenal and liver function.
Acupuncture is a very powerful healing tool, which has been used for over 2,000 years. Maureen has chosen to expand her holistic healthcare practice with a wide variety of modalities. Treatments might also include heat therapy, herbal prescriptions, nutritional supplements, plus diet and lifestyle counseling, to improve her patient's health. During the first visit each patient receives a personalized treatment detailing Eastern and Western diagnosis, appropriate modalities for treatment, and measures for self care.
