Services
Acupuncture
A therapeutic practice based on traditional Chinese medicine where very fine needles are inserted into specific points on the body to influence the flow of energy (often called Qi) and stimulate natural healing responses.
Acupressure
A related method to acupuncture that does not use needles. Instead, gentle but firm pressure is applied with the hands, fingers, or specialized tools to the same points used in acupuncture, with the goal of reducing tension, improving circulation, and restoring balance.
Orthopedic Acupuncture
A modern application of acupuncture that focuses on the treatment of musculoskeletal pain and injuries. This treatment includes acupuncture at motor points and trigger points combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to have a greater effect on the musculoskeletal system.
Earseeds
A form of auricular therapy connected to acupuncture in which tiny seeds (traditionally from the vaccaria plant, or small metal beads) are placed on taped patches at specific points on the outer ear. These seeds provide ongoing, gentle stimulation of acupuncture points to support relaxation, pain relief, or other targeted benefits.
Experience the harmonious blend of ancient healing practices and modern wellness techniques, where each treatment is tailored to restore balance and vitality.
