Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves precise needle placement at specific meridian points to restore energy flow and stimulate the body's natural healing processes. This ancient practice effectively treats pain, stress, and various health conditions by addressing imbalances in the body's energy systems. Our treatments combine traditional techniques with modern medical understanding for optimal results.
Nutritional Counseling
Personalized nutrition plans address individual health needs through targeted dietary modifications. Our counseling focuses on identifying food sensitivities, optimizing nutrient intake, and developing sustainable eating habits that support overall wellness and complement other treatment modalities for maximum effectiveness.
Allergy Elimination Therapy
This specialized treatment combines JMT and NAET methodologies to permanently reduce allergic responses through energy meridian rebalancing. By addressing the body's energetic relationship with allergens, we help patients achieve lasting relief from environmental and food-related sensitivities without pharmaceutical interventions.
Energy Healing
Energy healing sessions focus on restoring balance to the body's vital energy (qi) through non-invasive techniques that complement acupuncture treatments. This approach enhances overall wellness by addressing energetic blockages that may contribute to physical or emotional imbalances.
Herbal Medicine
Customized herbal formulations support treatment goals by providing natural alternatives to pharmaceutical medications. Our evidence-based approach combines traditional Chinese herbal knowledge with modern safety standards to create effective, personalized supplement regimens for various health conditions.

Jack is super nice and uses his skills to help pain and heal areas that I didn't know needed fixing! I will/would recommend anyone who has muscle, back or any body/head pain to him. This is my first time doing anything in Eastern Medicine related and it fells awesome to be able to walk, sit and laydown with no pain.

Jack's work is miraculous and life changing. I have worked with many holistic practitioners over my 8 year battle with chronic illness and none of them were quite like Jack. You will know exactly what I mean by this once you meet him. He has an amazing energy about him that is also very calming. Since working with Jack over the past few weeks my life has improved significantly. I am calmer, happier, less stressed in my body, I feel more balanced, my chronic pain has decreased and my energy has gone up!
He is at the top of his game and very invested not only in the work he does but the person he does the work on. I've been in debilitating pain for 7+ years and my pain is now half of what it usually is, when my pain goes down my energy goes up. Jack has also helped me figure out many other chronic health issues I was dealing with daily that no other medical doctor could figure out. The man is amazing! I cannot express my gratitude enough. I truly believe the universe sends you exactly who you need to help heal your body and soul.

Jack is highly skilled and trained. I am 51, did a series of 10 Acupuncture Facials with him as I prefer natural beauty over Botox and fillers. The treatment smoothed my fine lines as well as scars from childhood. Also, my overall skin tone, brightness and plumpness has improved so much. I also go to him to relieve pain and overall balance of my meridians. I have sent many friends to him. They all love him and keep sending their friends. Jack is a true gem!

Jack is nothing short of a feel good magician! He is definitely a master of his craft. I feel like a million bucks the minute I get off of his table. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment. You deserve it.

Awesome results. The acupuncture and cupping session was great. But my rt thumb was super painful with the arthritis and jack also worked his magic on it. 24 hours later and the pain level went from a 9 down to maybe a 1-2 and the thumb was frozen at the base of hand and now I have full range of motion without pain. Awesome results jack!
