Samadhi Acupuncture and Holictic Medicine — Alexandra Norindr M.S. L.Ac

Dr. Alexandra Norindr D.Ac. L.Ac.

I received my Masters of Science from Tri-State College of Acupuncture, and my Doctorate in Acupuncture from Pacific College of Health and Science. My training and style incorporates three styles of acupuncture, which can be used for a wide range of ailments and disorders. Depending on the nature of the problem and the constitution of the individual, I might pull from any one of these methods or use herbs or other holistic modalities as adjunctive internal or energetic medicine.

I have additional training in over 1,000 hours of classical hatha yoga certifications including yoga nidra, Thai yoga massage, and therapeutic yoga. I also spent 6 years in a clinical apprenticeship focused on Japanese “Kampo” herbal medicine.

My specialty training is using acupuncture and herbal therapies for fertility and during the perinatal period. I also have extensive training in Trigger Point Acupuncture, (also called “dry needling”), which is extremely effective for pain management.

Besides my private practice, my prior clinical experience includes working at New Clinic for integral medicine and psychiatry, the Gay Man’s Health Crisis (GMHC) working with those who are infected with HIV/AIDS, and a high volume integrative pain clinic.

Prior to studying Chinese medicine I worked as an art director, spent a brief period at California Western School of Law, and received a BFA from the School of Visual Arts.


 
 
Samadhi is not a mere emotional enthusiasm or an exhilaration of feeling. It is the direct unique intuitive experience of Truth or absolute consciousness or the Ultimate Reality. It is beyond all feeling throbbing and thrill. There is perfect awareness in Samadhi which is beyond expression and feeling. The aspirant rests in his center now—the goal of his search—and realizes the absolute freedom, independence and perfection.
— Swami Sivananda
