Acupuncture & Acupressure
Micro- needling & Cosmetic Acupuncture
The use of acupuncture has been documented for centuries and it is regularly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Acupuncture involves the use of small, disposable, single use, sterilized needles to pierce the skin’s surface to a specific depth. Needle location often follows meridians; which are the channels or pathways in the body based on TCM. Acupuncture seeks to release the flow of the body's vital energy or "qi" by stimulating points along energy pathways.
We offer Needle-less laser pen acupuncture or acupressure for adults and children with
needle aversions.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
These acupuncture treatments are focused mostly on the points of the face; addressing existing fine lines, discoloration, puffiness, and sagging. It’s like having a mini face lift!
Acupuncture works to improve overall circulation in the entire body but also increases circulation to the particular site where the needles are placed. Acupuncture has been shown to increase collagen production at the site of the needle. Too much or too little of key hormones can affect the state of our skin, leading to acne, dryness, and decreased elasticity. Acupuncture and herbs work to balance hormones leading to healthier looking skin.
Micro-Needling / Collagen Induction Therapy
Micro needling treatment promotes natural production of collagen and elastin fibers responsible for skin's structure and elasticity. As we age, these fibers break down causing wrinkles and sagging.
The microneedle pen utilizes extremely fine, sterile needles that penetrate the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production without permanent injury to the skin. Ask for our brochure for more information!
Wellness Exam, Telehealth and
Nutrition Response Testing
We offer full body assessments during your appointment. We order and interpret labs and imaging to assist with a diagnosis. Based on our thorough history intake, evaluation, labs, TCM diagnosis system review and symptom analysis we come up with a treatment plan to get you back in balance.
Nutrition Response Testing is a non-invasive system of analyzing the body in order to determine the underlying causes of ill health. When these causes are corrected through safe, natural, nutritional means, the body can repair itself in order to attain and maintain more optimum health.
Nutrition Response Testing is precise and scientific. It is based on decades of successful clinical outcomes helping sick people restore their health naturally—without drugs, without surgery, non-invasively, and often relatively rapidly.

Supplements, Herbs & Stem Cells
Herbs and whole food supplements can be a powerful adjunct to acupuncture care. They are used to strengthen, build and support the body/organs or to clear it of excess problems like a cold, fever or acute pain. Supplements should always be prescribed by a licensed health care practitioner who has adequate training in nutrition. Taking random supplements is like guessing, hoping you will address existing imbalances. Over supplementation is common these days and can injure the body. Muscle testing for supplements is suggested in order to find appropriate doses and protocol for the individual.
We also offer oral STEM CELL therapy. Stem cell therapy, also known as regenerative medicine, promotes the repair response of diseased, dysfunctional or injured tissue using stem cells or their derivatives. Stem cells have the potential to treat a wide range of diseases. Stem cell therapies may offer the potential to treat diseases or conditions for which few treatments exist. Sometimes called the body’s “master cells,” stem cells are the cells that develop into blood, brain, bones, and all of the body’s organs. They have the potential to repair, restore, replace, and regenerate cells

Lab tests and Imaging
Licensed acupuncturists are allowed to order laboratory tests and to perform functional medicine and interpretation of these labs. Some acupuncturists work with low cost labs where they can order diagnostic tests for their patients who do not have insurance or have high deductibles to meet.
We can order low cost MRI, X-ray and ultrasounds through Wave Imaging and Simon imaging.
Labs and other tests are ordered through LabCorp.
If you're frustrated with high insurance costs, no insurance or Doctors that keep telling your labs are "normal" when you know there is something wrong, then let's talk. Functional Medicine Doctors read labs differently than traditional MD's.
Gua Sha
Gua sha is intended to address stagnant energy, called qi, in the body that practitioners believe may be responsible for inflammation. Inflammation is the underlying cause of several conditions associated with chronic pain. Rubbing the skin’s surface is thought to help break up this energy, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
Bodywork
Therapeutic bodywork is a structured type of healing through the use of different styles of touch, whether it is on the skin or deeper to the muscle. Touch is a type of communication that we use everyday interacting with one another. The therapist uses touch to listen to your body and customize the style of massage or release for your particular need. By using different techniques the therapists hands are tools that helps to facilitate healing in your body and mind.
Cupping
Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.
Cupping can also treat asthma, acne, cough & dyspnea, facial paralysis, lumbar disc herniation and much more.
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese form of alternative medicine called energy healing. Based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. Reiki practitioner uses gentle touch or places their hands just above your body to help guide this energy in a way that promotes balance and healing.
If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
Using Reiki is not dependent on your intellectual capacity or spiritual development and therefore is available to everyone.
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to benefit from Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a complementary or alternative medicine.
It's based on a series of ideas developed in the 1790s by a German doctor named Samuel Hahnemann.
A central principle of the "treatment" is that "like cures like" – that a substance that causes certain symptoms can also help to remove those symptoms.
Many homeopathic remedies consist of substances that have been diluted many times in water until there's none, or almost none, of the original substance left. Homeopathy is used to "treat" an extremely wide range of conditions, including physical conditions such as asthma and psychological conditions such as depression.
*Homeopathic constitutional treatment is offered on a limited, as needed basis at the clinic. To learn more please send us a text or email.
Sound Healing /Meditation Classes
Practitioners will sometimes provide sound therapy as an alternative treatment for problems such as anxiety, chronic pain, sleep disorders, and PTSD. Sound therapy places listeners in a meditative state, in turn, allowing them to de-stress, relax, and heal.
Singing bowl vibrations can have various physical, emotional, and spiritual effects on the mind and body. Sound therapy can be a great additional or alternative treatment to a number of physical or mental problems or just added relaxation to meditation, reiki or yoga classes.
*Classes offered based on request or during the year as space becomes available. Text or email to schedule a private class.
