Acupuncture Treatment
Acupuncture addresses musculoskeletal pain, chronic stress, allergies, and reproductive health concerns through strategically placed needles. Our practitioners use Traditional Chinese Medicine principles to promote natural healing and pain relief. Clients report improved sleep, reduced inflammation, and enhanced emotional balance after regular sessions.
NAET Allergy Elimination
NAET treatment alleviates allergies through acupressure and energy balancing techniques. This non-invasive method targets sensitivities to food, environmental factors, and chemicals. Patients experience reduced sinus issues, digestive improvements, and decreased dependency on medication after completing treatment protocols.
Reiki Energy Healing
Reiki sessions promote relaxation and emotional healing through gentle energy transfer techniques. Practitioners channel universal life force energy to reduce anxiety, manage chronic pain, and restore balance. Many clients use Reiki alongside conventional treatments for stress-related conditions and emotional trauma recovery.
Neuro-Emotional Technique
NET addresses chronic physical symptoms linked to unresolved emotional stress through muscle response testing and meridian stimulation. This mind-body approach resolves tension patterns related to anxiety, headaches, and digestive issues. Patients gain tools to recognize and release stress triggers during treatment sessions.
Biomat Far-Infrared Therapy
Biomat therapy uses far-infrared energy to improve circulation, reduce joint pain, and promote muscle recovery. The device delivers heat therapy combined with negative ion technology to enhance cellular health.

Report
I had exhausted medical and physical therapy routes and still had issues of pain and mobility. My doctor said okay to my trying acupuncture and I was lucky to have someone refer me to Teri. She is very knowledgeable about various types of treatments, as well as being kind, caring, and thoughtful about her work. I don't react to things like the majority of people, so it has been a bit of trial and error to find what works for me.
While I was disappointed that acupuncture wasn't miraculous (at least for me), I have continued to improve with Teri's help and for that I'm very grateful. Teri also does NAET treatments. My daughter had multiple food allergies and went through a series of NAET treatments many years ago with a different practitioner. The process seemed strange and yet it made a significant difference in the quality of her life. If Teri is as intelligent and thoughtful about NAET as she is about acupuncture, it's something worth trying for allergy problems.

I started seeing Teri 2 years ago for knee pain. At that point it would hurt to walk even a mile, even though I had completed physical therapy three times. Within months of regular treatments from Teri, I was walking with much less pain, and today, I feel barely a twinge, if even t hat. She's also been able to help me with other issues, such as stress and sleeplessness. Teri is a wonderful acupuncturist - listens compassionately, her treatments are extremely effective and I can't recommend her more highly.

Teri is the best practitioner I've had yet. I first heard of NAET through family friends and was rather skeptical about the practice, but I have not felt this physically and emotionally healthy since I can remember. The first NAET/acupuncture treatment I had with Teri was completely painless and stress-free, and I walked away feeling surprisingly energized, rested and centered.
Teri is down-to-earth, transparent and welcomes all questions, challenges and concerns.
She's constantly adjusting her schedule meet with all patients, and is an honest and trustworthy practitioner. She is comfortable staggering or suspending treatments if they truly aren't needed and doesn't try to push things solely for business profit. I also value that she makes time in her full schedule to educate herself on the latest medicinal breakthroughs through conferences, re-certification, new certifications, etc.
She takes the time to educate patients on her treatment processes and the intricacies of their health conditions. She equips patients to knowledgeably advocate for their own bodies, health and well being.
