Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses fine needles at specific points to restore energy flow and promote healing. This ancient practice effectively addresses chronic pain, stress, and various health conditions. Our practitioners combine traditional techniques with modern medical understanding to create customized treatment plans for lasting wellness benefits.
Massage Therapy
Our massage therapy sessions target muscle tension and improve circulation through specialized techniques. Certified therapists address specific pain points while promoting overall relaxation. Treatments range from 60-90 minutes with customized approaches for sports recovery, stress relief, and chronic pain management in a calming environment.
Rolfing
Rolfing reorganizes connective tissues to improve posture and body alignment. This hands-on therapy addresses chronic tension patterns through systematic bodywork. Sessions help enhance movement efficiency, relieve pain from compensation patterns, and promote better body awareness through our specialized 3- or 10-session packages.
Cupping
Cupping therapy uses controlled suction to increase blood flow and release muscle tension. This traditional technique effectively treats chronic pain, respiratory conditions, and sports injuries. Our practitioners combine cupping with other therapies for enhanced recovery, leaving temporary marks that indicate improved circulation in treated areas.
Virtual Consultations
Virtual consultations provide personalized herbal medicine guidance and health planning from home. Patients receive comprehensive assessments and customized treatment recommendations through secure video sessions. This service supports ongoing wellness journeys for both local and remote patients seeking expert holistic care.

Questions
What conditions do you treat with acupuncture?
We treat chronic pain, stress, allergies, digestive issues, headaches, and men's health concerns using acupuncture. Our personalized approach addresses both symptoms and root causes.
How does cupping therapy work?
Cupping creates suction on specific body areas to increase blood flow, release muscle tension, and promote healing. It effectively treats chronic pain, respiratory conditions, and sports injuries.
Do you accept insurance?
We provide superbill receipts for potential insurance reimbursement but don't directly bill insurance carriers. Check with your provider about out-of-network acupuncture coverage.
What's the difference between Rolfing and massage?
Rolfing focuses on structural alignment through connective tissue work, while massage targets muscle relaxation. Rolfing creates long-term posture improvements, whereas massage provides more immediate muscle relief.

Ted is a lifesaver! I had tried getting relief from my peri-menopause and hip pain for years. I was so frustrated with not having any luck or improvement with my regular practitioners, ibuprofen, massage therapy, or yoga stretches, I tried acupuncture. Wow! After my series of visits paired with an herbal prescription, my mobility greatly increased and the hip and menstrual pain is so minimal and infrequent. Plus, I rarely use ibuprofen anymore! With his love for & dedication to the art of acupuncture and his professionalism & down to earth nature, I highly recommend Ted for pain management. Thanks Ted!
