Our Approach
Holistic & Intentional
We bring an ancient Eastern healing method (Traditional Chinese Medicine or “TCM”) to the modern world.
TCM is a 3,000-year old healing system that seeks to bring the body’s physical, emotional and energetic system into balance through the use of acupuncture, fire cupping, gua sha, moxibustion and medicinal herbs.
We work carefully with each patient to create a treatment plan intended to tap into the body’s innate ability to heal and restore vitality.

FAQs

Acupuncture goes to the root of the energetic Qi imbalance (stagnation, depletion, blockage) that created physical problems in the first place. Once the underlying issue is resolved, the body will heal naturally.
Many people turn to acupuncture and TCM after Western medical treatments (prescription drugs or surgery) have failed to resolve their concerns or created unwanted side effects.

Acupuncture needles are the size of a cat's whisker. You may feel a very short sting, pinch or ache as they are inserted. Some places on the body are more or less sensitive. Needle location is determined based on the treatment needed and patient sensitivity.
Once the needle has been placed, you may feel a tingling or movement of Qi. The feeling will subside and the result can be enjoyable and relaxing. Often people fall asleep once needles are placed.

Don't be nervous :)
We'll start with a consultation to discuss your health goals and then design a treatment plan. We’ll start with acupuncture and, if necessary, provide fire cupping, gua sha, electro-acupuncture and/or medicinal herbs.

A healing timeline depends on the patient and their lifestyle, but every patient should see immediate improvement after the first treatment.
Some conditions can be resolved in 1-3 treatments. Ongoing treatments are helpful to maintain optimal health or if symptoms return.
For long-standing or chronic conditions, an on-going treatment series over several months may be needed.
Fertility and reproductive health issues also require recurring treatments to align the reproductive cycle.
