Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at key points to balance energy meridians, promoting natural healing. We use techniques like electro-acupuncture, cupping, and moxibustion to address pain, allergies, anxiety, and chronic conditions. Our licensed practitioners tailor sessions to individual needs, combining ancient Taoist principles with modern diagnostics for effective, personalized care.
Facial Rejuvenation
Facial rejuvenation treatments like microneedling and cupping enhance skin texture and reduce wrinkles. These non-surgical methods stimulate collagen production and improve circulation, addressing acne, rosacea, and aging signs. Sessions combine infrared therapy and gua sha for detoxification, leaving skin radiant and revitalized through natural, minimally invasive techniques.

Herbal medicine utilizes ancient formulas to balance body systems and treat chronic issues. We prescribe customized blends of tinctures, capsules, or powdered herbs, complemented by aromatherapy and flower essences. These natural remedies support immune function, detoxification, and emotional well-being, addressing conditions from digestive disorders to stress-related ailments.
Therapeutic Bodywork
Therapeutic bodywork includes Swedish, deep tissue, and prenatal massage to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. Techniques like shiatsu and reiki restore energy flow, while craniosacral therapy addresses nervous system imbalances. These treatments reduce stress, enhance flexibility, and promote overall wellness through hands-on, holistic care.

Report
A couple of days after Christmas 2021 I had taken a fall and severely damaged the muscles in my back trying to stop myself. I dealt with it for a day and tried to make a Dr's appointment but got back logged till the end of January. So I was looking into alternatives as I'd never done acupuncture before. I was able to schedule an appointment easily on their web site same day even though I understand that's not typically the case.
I walked in like a 80 yr old with a fuzed spine, and although I was worried at first I was able to get calm in a few minutes. They were able to even stop my leg from twitching while the needles were in with some strategic needles in my foot. Honestly once you get past not being able to move much it's kinda relaxing in a way. The cupping services also felt strange but seemed to really move some tension away from the worst areas. I left with a noticeably lesser bend in my back and my recovery accelerated faster than normal in the following days after. 5/5 would go again.
