Traditional Chinese medicine is a holistic healthcare system. It is based on treating the person rather than the disease. Therefore it successfully treats many ailments, a few of its strengths lie in the treatment of gynecology, dermatology, digestion and musculoskeletal issues. Dr. Boughton has drawn on the strengths of TCM by honing her TCM diagnostic skills as well as studying with world renowned TCM practitioners. In Chinese medicine it is said that to be a great practitioner you must be proficient at Chinese Medicine pattern diagnosis and treatment and that disease diagnosis is secondary.
Since beginning her practice in 2003, Dr. Boughton has focused on treating women’s health. As the result of successful treatments, her practice rapidly grew and has expanded to include more obstetrics and pediatrics. Recognizing the genuine need for Doctors of TCM who specialize in pregnancy and women’s health, she is fortunate to have increased her knowledge by studying with several well known Obstetrics specialists: Jean Levesque, Bob Flaws, Debra Betts and Raven Lang. She has also completed extensive studies on women’s health and pediatrics with instructors such as Randine Lewis, Jane Lyttleton, Peter Deadman, Mike Berkley, Diane Cridennda, Dr. Paul Magarelli, Brandon Horn, Wendy Yu, Bruce Robinson, Dr. Verna Hunt, Kiiko Matsumoto and Sharon Weizenbaum.
