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!

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.

Chinese 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 and lab consultations for supplements is suggested in order to find appropriate doses and protocol for the individual.

Regenerative Medicine & Advanced Healing Support

Regenerative medicine represents an evolving field focused on supporting the body’s natural capacity for repair, recovery, and tissue regeneration. Depending on your individual goals and health history, regenerative approaches may be considered as part of a comprehensive wellness and recovery plan.

My approach combines the principles of Chinese medicine with an understanding of emerging regenerative therapies, helping patients explore appropriate options and make informed decisions about their care.

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 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.

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 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 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.

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.

​
