Welcome to our Center

If you’re like most people, you may not think about your health until you are feeling sick and experiencing symptoms. We all too often allow our own wellness, both physical and mental, to take a backstage to life’s daily responsibilities. Or we find ourselves too busy taking care of others, children, spouse, and elderly parents to take the time to think about our own health. Our goal is to use the tools of Traditional Chinese Medicine and our experience to help you get to the root of your health problems and move you along the path toward optimal health and vitality, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

We use alternative medicine techniques including acupuncture, acupressure, cupping, gua sha and Chinese herbal remedies to improve the health of people dealing with conditions such as arthritis, allergies, asthma, joint & muscle pain, back pain, migraines, headaches, digestive disorders, neurological disorders, infertility, depression, stress, addictions, weight problems, etc. as well as provide pain management for chronic conditions.

Serving the Baltimore County area, the Active Life Acupuncture and Wellness Center is conveniently located next to the Timonium State Fairgrounds. Patricia West and Denise Demback, licensed acupuncturists and Chinese herbalists, bring 20 years of combined experience in holistic healing, acupuncture and Chinese herbs to the center.
