Return to Balance, Thrive in Wellness

Acupuncture & Qigong to Revitalize Your Body and Mind

Balance the Energies in Your Body, Restore Balance to Your Life

Traditional Chinese Medicine, which consists of Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and associated therapeutic modalities, is built on the theories of balancing the yin and yang energies in the body. When these energies become imbalanced, people will move away from a state of wellness. Through the use of Acupuncture, Qigong, and all that Traditional Chinese Medicine has to offer, Lora will help you to heal your body, return to a state of balance, and live a more peaceful and energetic life. She will also support you in making improved lifestyle choices through diet, exercise, and freedom from addictions.

Healing the Mind and Body as One

One of the greatest things about Traditional Chinese Medicine is that it recognizes the connection between mind and body. If you are feeling anxious or depressed, it is very easy to have a reduction in your state of wellness. Alternatively, when you are sick, it is very easy to have feelings of sadness and frustration. Strong emotional feelings often cause our Qi to “stagnate,” disrupting the overall flow of our energy and affecting our health. By treating the mind and body together with acupuncture, these imbalances can be corrected and wellness restored. Even after just one treatment, most people notice improvements in their health.

Lora is an amazing, highly intuitive acupuncturist. She is attuned to what your body needs and has the miracle touch. She’s also very kind and patient and her prices are very reasonable: Her practice is in a quiet building and one can really feel the serene healing vibe . She has helped me come a long ways in my recovery and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking acupuncture.

I have been going to Return to Balance since 2020. I’ve had muscle spasms in my neck which were debilitating. Acupuncture had helped me in the past but I had stopped because I was feeling pretty good. Then the spasms came back and because my previous acupuncturist had left the state, I found Lora…lucky me! It took several sessions to get the spasms under control, but Lora did it. I’ve also have been treated for stress and anxiety. I was having a problem with the cartilage in my knee and Lora started working on that too and I no longer have ANY pain in my knee. Lora is a healer and is kind and compassionate. All she wants to do is make everyone feel better and she does!!!

My name is Ann and I have been a dental hygienist for over 40 years. My sciatic nerve and pyriformis muscle was causing pain and discomfort for months before I saw Lora. My pain and discomfort has significantly improved since my first visit. I also began to participate in her Qigong classes that she offers. Lora is very pleasant, professional and knowledgeable , and I highly recommend seeking her out! I am definitely on the road to recovery and I'm having better days. Thank you Lora!

I have been seeing Lora since June of 2023. From the moment I entered her clinic, I felt reassured by her warm and professional demeanor. Lora took the time to listen attentively to my concerns, demonstrating genuine empathy and a holistic understanding of my needs. Her technique and expert knowledge made each session both relaxing and effective. Thanks to her tailored treatments, I have experienced significant improvements in my health and well-being. I highly recommend Lora to anyone seeking a compassionate and experienced acupuncturist who truly cares about her patients' healing journey.

As a woman in my late 60s and dealing with medical issues regarding my back and sleep I was in a funk. I knew I wanted to do something to raise my spirits. My husband and I agreed that celebrities who have had "work" done look like they went through wind tunnels. I didn't want a facelift I just needed to be refreshed. Being a believer and recipient of acupuncture in the past I did my intel and found Lora Todd owner of Return to Balance Acupuncture. I met with Lora for a consultation and she explained to me what cosmetic acupuncture can achieve and boy was she right. After having her preform her plan and program I am VERY happy to say that I have achieved the results I was looking for. My skin looks brighter, healthier and younger than it has in years. I definitely will continue to have Lora treat me and I recommend this treatment for anyone who needs a youthful " lift" but not willing to have a facelift.

Lora is incredible! I came to her about a year ago after being told I was at risk of a health condition. After explaining the situation, Lora put a plan together through a series of targeted treatments. I was, and continue to be, diligent with these treatments which has improved the severity of my condition. After seeing my doctor for follow up testing they were blown away with the results to a point they took the test again and even asked multiple times if I had been taking medications, I smiled and said acupuncture. If you’ve been on the fence, give it a shot because Lora is amazing!
