WHO I AM AND WHAT I DO
Dr. Jonathan Lenahan also known as Star Hawk is a second-generation Acupuncturist and Practitioner of Chinese Medicine. In combining his background in Acupuncture, Shamanic Healing and Plant Medicine Jonathan created his healing arts practice, AcuShaman. From 2015 to 2019, Jonathan worked as a Ayurvedic Healing Arts Practitioner at the Chopra Center where he refined his skills as a master body worker and energy practitioner. In his early 20's he began his initiation into shamanism through the practice of sweat lodge, vision quests, shamanic journeying and plant medicine. Star Hawk also utilizes Nutritional Response Testing for customized nutritional and herbal programs for his patients. Underlying his practice is the belief that our health and well being are intimately connected to the relationship we have with ourselves, Mother Nature and the Great Mystery of this Universe.

Holistic Health Offerings
WELLNESS CONSULTATION & ASSESSMENT
Required for New Patients
A truly holistic approach to medicine is treating each individual as a whole and not just treating the symptom or disease process. Yes, we can treat your headache or any other symptom you may have but we also want to look at any internal (biochemical/nutrient) deficiencies or external environmental toxins and any emotional/mental behaviors and beliefs that may be blocking you from getting well and returning to an optimal state of health and wellbeing.

TRADITIONAL ACUPUNCTURE
Traditional Acupuncture is a healing practice used for thousands of years. By consciously inserting and manipulating fine needles into specific energetic centers or points on the body, Acupuncture has been clinically proven to relieve pain, promote blood circulation and alleviate stress. Acupuncture aims to promote health and healing by restoring and enhancing the function of the body's natural processes. By recharging the energetic currants i.e. electromagnetic force within the body, the nervous system and consequently all other bodily systems are able to function more efficiently and effectively.
NUTRITIONAL RESPONSE TESTING
Nutritional Response Testing (NRT) is a technique based upon listening to the bodies innate intelligence. If the patient’s body is found to be in a state of dysfunction, a stressor kit that contains vials for food sensitivities, heavy metals, chemicals, viruses, fungal/mold, bacteria and parasites will be used to discover the underlying cause of dysfunction in that particular part of the body. Then a customized Nutritional Program which includes whole food supplements & herbal medicines will be prescribed as well as dietary recommendations to heal the underlying cause of dysfunction in the body.
SHAMANIC SOUND HEALING
Within each one of us there is a center that is whole, complete and one with Spirit. This center is the source of all Life, everything in Existence and Love beyond imagination. Shamanic Sound Healing creates Sacred Space, calls upon the primordial spirits of the Universe and this spiritual center within us to transform physical, mental, emotional and energetic toxins with the primordial sound vibrations of rattles, drums, flute, singing bowls & wind gong. After cleansing each layer of the human being we call upon Pure Light to nourish and rejuvenate our body, mind and spirit.
"True health is much more than the absence of disease. Health in its essence is an expanded & deepened state of consciousness. This state of wholeness is the basis of all healing."

CAN ACUPUNCTURE WORK FOR ME?You no doubt heard how acupuncture has helped others. But your question is: “can it help me?” In order to determine this you will need an initial consultation, thorough, review of your medical history and oriental medical evaluation. Only then can it be determined whether or not you are a case for acupuncture. I do not accept all cases. But all the cases I accept, I do my best to help. I am dedicated to those who are seriously willing to actively participate in the process of their own health. I have built my reputation on helping others.

WILL ACUPUNCTURE NEEDLES HURT?Perhaps you are afraid of needles. Well, most people are, and almost everyone has an uncomfortable experience with injection needles. The needles we use are totally different from any needles you have ever experienced. Acupuncture is done with extremely fine, disposable, flexible needles. There is nothing “special” in the needle. Since the needles are not hollow they are made to a superfine gauge. Some are like strands of hair. The feeling of insertion ranges from a few who anxiously imagine that feeling of the needle before it was inserted, to the commonplace expression “That’s all there is? I didn’t even feel it go in.” Many people fall asleep during treatment. The whole experience is rather calming and uplifting.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?The time it takes to recover from your ailments varies with the particular circumstances of each individual case. A general rule of thumb is that however long you have had any particular illness or symptom, it will take half as long to fully recover from it. You can rest assured, however, that I will help you to regain your health as quickly as possible. Now that you have chosen AcuShaman and have placed your health care in my hands, relax, be patient, and give me a chance to help you to thrive.

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF ACUPUNCTURE?Acupuncture treatment increases the body’s natural defense and resistance to disease. The balancing effect in turn adjusts blood flow, improves nervous tone, regulates both hormonal levels and the functions of the internal organs. The internal organs control body functions, digestion, respiration, circulation, genito-urinary, musculoskeletal, neurological and metabolic functions. These organs also command various parts of the body; the eyes, ears, nose and throat, knees, back, chest, abdomen and the extremities. The internal organs are responsible for controlling emotional states of depression, anger, fear, worry, grief, sadness, anxiety and obsessions. By restoring the normal function of the internal organs, acupuncture can control body functions, various parts of the body and emotional states.
