Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments use fine needles to restore qi flow in meridians, addressing chronic pain and illness. We diagnose energetic blocks and insert needles at strategic points to stimulate healing. Patients report immediate relief and improved emotional wellbeing, with sessions lasting 30-45 minutes.
Moxibustion
This ancient technique applies heat from artemisia leaves to acupuncture points, treating cold-related conditions. It improves circulation and supports patients experiencing physical or emotional coldness. Sessions combine moxa with needle therapy for enhanced effectiveness.
Chinese Herbs
Custom herbal prescriptions balance deficiency and stagnation using thousands of years of TCM knowledge. We provide concentrated powders or capsules after diagnosis, often combining Western herbs and consultations with partner practitioners.
Acupressure
Acupressure addresses skeletal imbalances and offers needle-free alternatives through targeted pressure. Zero Balancing techniques gently realign joints while maintaining patient comfort, ideal for those seeking non-invasive options.
Guidance
We provide personalized recommendations for rest, diet, exercise, and spiritual practices to support healing. Our patient-centered approach emphasizes practical lifestyle changes over rigid rules, helping patients identify destructive patterns and cultivate joyful habits.
