Aesthetic Acupuncture
Aesthetic acupuncture combines traditional needle techniques with modern skincare to improve muscle tone, brighten complexions, and reduce wrinkles. Patients experience enhanced skin radiance and overall wellness through customized treatments incorporating jade rollers, gua sha, and aromatherapy. This non-invasive approach promotes collagen production and energetic balance, addressing both cosmetic and systemic health needs.
Integrative Microneedling
Microneedling uses microchannels to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity. Procell devices ensure minimal discomfort while enhancing product absorption. Combined with acupuncture and essential oils, this treatment addresses acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and aging signs, delivering both immediate and long-term skin health benefits through holistic protocols.
Trigger Point Release
This technique targets muscle knots causing migraines, joint pain, and chronic conditions. By combining acupuncture with manual release, it alleviates tension patterns and restores energy flow. Treatments address individual pain points through personalized assessment, offering relief for repetitive strain injuries and stress-related muscular discomfort without pharmaceutical intervention.
Tuning Fork Therapy
Tuning forks use vibrational frequencies to reduce pain, improve sleep, and promote relaxation. Sound waves penetrate deep into tissues, breaking energy blockages and inducing meditative states. This non-invasive modality complements acupuncture sessions, particularly benefiting patients with anxiety, insomnia, and chronic stress conditions through gentle, resonant healing.
Cupping & Gua Sha
Cupping creates suction to increase blood flow, while gua sha uses friction to release toxins and muscle tension. These techniques alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and support respiratory health. Temporary markings indicate detoxification processes, with patients reporting immediate relief from chronic stiffness and improved mobility following sessions targeting specific areas of concern.

I started receiving acupuncture at 7 weeks pregnant! I was severely nauseous and was having horrific migraines. Diana's treatments have helped me immensely and I will be continuing treatment with her as time goes on. She has helped me with aromatherapy tricks along aide the acupuncture which has been a great experience! Her pillow for pregnancy makes laying down super comfortable and peaceful! Ample parking and ducked off the street so it feels nice and private.

Dianna has a comforting energy and is great at what she does. When I told her I had never tried acupuncture before she was very patient and thoroughly explained everything to me as she went along. I have continued going back to her for almost 2 years now. She has a lot of experience and knowledge from her many years of being an acupuncturist and it shows!

Diana is incredible. I was recommended to her by a very high level massage therapist, and now about 7-8 sessions later. I can see why. Everytime I go, I feel like she goes above and beyond to dive into what I'm going through, where I'm at, and how she can best serve me. She definitely feels more like a friend, than a "practitioner". Obviously, a tremendous amount of professionalism, but also a genuine care you don't get in traditional medicine.
When I first came to the sessions, I did almost all cupping, scraping, and dry needling to relieve muscle tension. But as of the last 4-5 sessions, it's been almost all emotional/ Qi energy movement. Coming from a background of energy work, I trust very few people with my energy. However, her intuition and gentle nature makes it very easy to relax and move into higher vibrational states. I've made this almost a weekly practice, it feels like a complete reset every time I go. I would recommend her to everyone that is thinking about acupuncture for emotional relief, or physical relief. She is incredible at both. Thanks always Diana

I have been receiving top quality care from Diana for years. She is extremely knowledgeable on integration of eastern and western medicine. She treated my internal chi medicine while treating my sports medicine injuries with trigger point therapy. She has a wide range tools to help treat you and compassionate care that makes you feel safe to drift off during your treatments. Look no further. Opal acupuncture is a great place for monthly up keep or for first first acupuncture treatment.
