Dr. Simone Ressner, DACM, is the visionary founder behind Source Empowered Wellness Center. Inspired by her transformative healing journey following an expedition in India in 2007, Simone delved into various yoga styles and began studying Chinese Medicine in San Diego. After immersing herself in diverse healing modalities with shamans and reiki masters during a seven-month journey through Central and South America in 2013, she skillfully integrates Chinese Medicine, herbal medicine, massage, reiki, and shamanic healing into her practice. Driven by her passion for collective healing, she established Source to make holistic and natural care accessible to all, believing health is a gift that should be cultivated as a lifestyle. MysticMag has the pleasure of chatting with Simone.
Simone, Source offers community-style acupuncture as a loving and effective way to provide affordable services without compromising quality. Can you share more about how this model enhances the healing experience for individuals and the benefits observed in a group setting?
At Source Acupuncture, our primary mission is to provide top-quality care that is not only accessible but also highly effective in delivering results. We believe in a three-stage approach to wellness that allows individuals to achieve their optimal health and well-being. We do this by having a collective healing space, providing more times for people to come in and lower than private room cost so you can get the results you’re looking for.
Stage 1: Immediate Relief (Weeks 1-2)
In the initial couple of weeks, our focus is on addressing immediate concerns such as inflammation, tension, and pain in the body. Clients often experience significant relief during this stage, which provides them with a sense of well-being and comfort. However, we understand that these symptoms are often manifestations of underlying issues.
Stage 2: Functional Restoration (Weeks 3-6)
The next phase, Stage 2 of care, is where we delve deeper into the root causes of pain and discomfort. It usually takes several weeks to address functional issues related to stress, insomnia, digestive problems, and more. Our experienced practitioners work closely with clients to restore optimal function in the body. This phase is crucial because it ensures that the pain relief achieved in Stage 1 is not just temporary but lasting.
Stage 3: Optimization and Wellness (Weeks 7 onwards)
Once we’ve restored functional balance, we move into Stage 3 of care. This stage is all about optimizing habits, lifestyle, and diet to further enhance overall function and well-being. It’s where clients can truly fine-tune their health and wellness, making lasting changes that support a vibrant and pain-free life.
Source emphasizes integrating timeless wisdom with modern methods and tailoring treatments to individual needs. How does Source ensure that each client receives personalized care, and how does the integration of acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional support, and other modalities contribute to holistic healing?
At Source Acupuncture, we prioritize personalized care by conducting thorough assessments and tailoring treatment plans to meet the specific needs and goals of each client. Our approach integrates ancient wisdom with modern methods, ensuring that clients receive individualized care. Through comprehensive assessments, we gain insights into their health history, lifestyle, and wellness objectives. We then create customized treatment plans that often combine acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional support, and other modalities, allowing us to address their unique conditions effectively
This integration of various healing modalities contributes to holistic wellness by addressing not only symptoms but also the root causes of health issues. Acupuncture targets specific points relevant to the client’s condition, while herbal medicine and nutritional guidance provide personalized support. We continuously monitor progress and adjust treatment plans as necessary, empowering clients with knowledge and self-care practices. Our commitment to personalized care and holistic healing ensures that each individual’s journey toward optimal health is a tailored and effective one.
The Glam & Glow program combines various therapies like microneedling, cosmetic acupuncture, and light therapy. What inspired the creation of this all-in-one monthly member program, and what transformations have clients experienced over the 6-month period?
At Source we believe that long lasting beauty is generated from being balanced and vital from within. We always start our cosmetic services with an in-depth imaging system and report so we know the type of skin and the severity of any issues that may wish to be addressed, such as wrinkles, acne, and age spots. With microneedling, we use an electric pen tipped with multiple tiny needles to micro-wound the skin and initiate healing and huge increases in elastin and collagen. Our all natural serums also help promote smoother skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. We often prescribe this in conjunction with cosmetic acupuncture, which focuses on improving your facial tone and elasticity, giving one the “face lift” aspect of the treatment. What sets our program apart is that we bundle these items together and include herbs, nutrition, and red light therapy so that clients get their best and most long-lasting results. We call this our Glam up and Glow Package and when one signs up for this, they also get unlimited $10 off regular acupuncture sessions to support their health goals.
The mission of Source is centered around cultivating health as a gift and making holistic care accessible. How does Source envision empowering individuals on their healing journey, and what role does the philosophy of health as a lifestyle play in achieving this vision?
Our approach at Source Acupuncture is designed to go beyond just addressing symptoms; it’s about addressing the root causes of discomfort and pain. We believe that accessibility to this level of care is essential, which is why our model allows individuals to come more frequently, ensuring that they can experience faster and more long-lasting results. Source is about being on the forefront of preventative medicine and so many clients stay with us for monthly maintenance to stay stress resistant and in balance. We are committed to helping our clients achieve their best state of health and vitality throughout these three stages of care.
