Services
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use fine filiform needles placed at strategic points to regulate hormones, nervous system function, and circulation. Combining classical techniques with modern advancements, we incorporate complementary therapies like cupping and moxibustion. Patients receive personalized treatment plans targeting pain management, stress reduction, and systemic imbalances.
Tui Na
This traditional Chinese therapeutic massage employs rhythmic compression techniques along meridians to restore circulation and energy flow. Practiced for over 2,000 years, our practitioners use specific hand movements to address musculoskeletal issues and enhance acupuncture effectiveness. Sessions focus on releasing tension patterns contributing to chronic pain or mobility limitations.
Functional Lab Testing
We utilize specialized labs like Boston Heart Diagnostics and advanced tools to identify hidden health imbalances. Testing covers hormonal profiles, cardiovascular risks, digestive function, and heavy metal exposure through non-invasive methods. Results guide targeted interventions, including customized supplementation and dietary adjustments based on scientific evidence.
Herbal Medicine
We combine time-tested herbal formulas with modern nutraceutical research for personalized treatment protocols. All remedies come from practitioner-grade lines tested for purity and potency. Patients receive tailored formulations to address inflammation, hormonal disorders, and immune system weaknesses while monitoring effectiveness through follow-up diagnostics.
Lyme Disease Treatment
Our Lyme management combines Western lab testing with Eastern energy assessments to detect co-infections and systemic weaknesses. Treatment integrates antibiotics with natural therapies like ozone therapy and detoxification protocols to manage symptoms and strengthen immunity. Patients receive ongoing monitoring through specialized functional tests.

Report
After a few rounds of steroids, my Rheumatologist recommended a chemo drug to "treat" my overactive immune system (autoimmune- colitis, connective tissue disease, etc.) and I chose SOPHIA instead. Dr. Ken, Dr. Chris, and Dr. Eli are an exceptional team and their natural, integrative, science-based approach works with and heals the body. Within a couple of weeks I experienced tremendous symptom relief and a path to transformational healing.

The staff and Doctors are amazing! They have brought my pain level down from an 8 to a 3 in my back. I have suffered for many years with my back pain and the acupuncture works. I recommend Sophia to anyone and everyone that suffers from pain.

Caring, compassionate and competent. They care for the whole person not just the problem area. They helped me when everyone said there was no treatment.

Our family's visits to Sophia natural health center have resulted in nothing but positive experiences. We presently have a total of five (5) people from our family under their care, feeling the rewards of natural healing. Appointment times are accurately maintained, the patient is not kept waiting and these doctors listen, which is unusual in these times we live in. I've personally gone in with back pain and left without it. Annoying cold symptoms were treated with acupuncture and natural supplements and within two (2) days I felt complete relief. Treatments have increased energy within our bodies, our minds. We joined their program wanting to feel better and appreciate a better quality of life and Sophia Natural health center has focused and performed completely upon that.

I strongly recommend Sophia! I've battled with arthritis for over 30 years. In addition, I've had neck pain, weight gain and allergies. In less than 5 months, I've lost 20 pounds and have significantly less arthritic pain. I've learned how to eat healthy, relax and take care of myself. The doctors are knowledgeable and compassionate. The staff is friendly and helpful. I have NEVER felt this amazing. Sophia has changed my life for the better!

Dr. Ken and Dr. Bruce are amazing. They keep you informed about your treatments and your progress and with them you know you are in great hands! The staff is always on top of things. It is great to know that there is a local, safe, alternative medicine facility in our area.

I recently had an consult at the SOPHIA Natural Health Center and feel it is necessary to share my experience. The staff was warm, caring and friendly. I felt as though they were genuinely concerned with my well being. The feeling of well being was present. IT was a GREAT experience. I have begun my healing with the support of SOPHIA.

The allopathic community should take note, that it is entirely possible to integrate alternative methodologies along with standard treatments. Sophia Natural Health is a smart place to start. First off, the staff is welcoming, smart and wonderful, but Kenneth Hoffman is brilliant at seeing the long view while treating the every day. He is also very practical and down to earth. They are very good at acupuncture and allergy related issues, hormone balancing, pain management, for starters. You can also get a thermagram at Sophia. Do the research folks, it's smarter than a mammogram. I highly recommend trying Sophia Natural Health BEFORE seeing an allopathic doctor.

Whether you have an issue the traditional "western" medical system has failed to acceptably address or are just "not feeling very well" Sophia is an excellent place to visit. I had a great experience there and know of several others who have as well.

I saw somebody's recommendation and it sparked my curiosity so I made a appointment. I was very impressed from the minute I walked in. The staff were all very nice. I was well informed about what my visit would be like and I felt very comfortable. I believe it is everything I was hoping it would be. I have had some acupuncture treatments to start and learning more about the process in healing. Love It!!!!
