Acupuncture helps the body to remember how to work by restoring its systems and organs to a healthier state.  When your body is working optimally, you wake up with more energy to create change, from your work performance, relationships, and even how you view your life.  A body that is working is harmoniously is the foundation for a fuller and happier life.

Acupuncture as part of Chinese medicine is a complete medical protocol focused on correcting imbalances in the body that when left untreated can show up as medical conditions.  The treatments work at both the root of the issue – and the branch – how the disharmony is manifesting such as headaches, fibromyalgia, infertility, diabetes, high blood pressure etc.  By treating the root, often several issues are treated at the same time. You may come in for headaches and after several treatments realize that your seasonal allergies have also lessened or resolved.

Acupuncture is a whole body medical approach to bringing balance back to the body.  Side effects are typically reduced inflammation, improved sleep, less anxiety, and overall healthier well-being.

An acupuncture needle is about the thickness of a strand of hair. Most patients who are needle phobic find after the first few insertions, that they are no longer afraid. The treatments are relaxing and many patients fall asleep during treatment.

Acupuncture is incredibly safe and effective when given by a trained and licensed practitioner. The needles our Acupuncturist uses are single-use, sterile needles. All Acupuncturists are trained in clean needle technique. Overall, injuries from acupuncture with a licensed practitioner are very rare.

During your initial visit, your Acupuncturist will review your medical history and do a Chinese Medicine intake – this is an in-depth questionnaire regarding your main complaint and the different systems of your body. You will also have ample time to ask questions.

This session includes the use of the Celluma Light Therapy device, with red light to smooth fine lines and wrinkles or blue light to help combat acne. To complete the experience, we finish with facial cupping and/or gua sha to improve circulation, reduce puffiness, and leave your skin glowing. Following the treatment, you can expect your skin to feel more lifted, refreshed, and radiant. With regular sessions, you’ll notice improved texture, fewer fine lines, and a more even complexion. Many clients also report feeling deeply relaxed and balanced after addressing the underlying body patterns, enhancing both their skin’s appearance and their overall well-being.
