Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used forms of medicine in the world. Originating in China more than 2,500 years ago, acupuncture is currently one of the most thoroughly researched, practiced, and respected forms of complementary medicine available anywhere.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, your overall health is determined by the quality of the Qi (energy) flow through the natural pathways of your body, known as "channels" or "meridians". Acupuncture uses a variety of techniques, including placing very thin sterile needles into specific points on the body, to stimulate and improve your Qi flow.
The many benefits of acupuncture may include:
Group acupuncture is available in two ways, for private parties of 4 or more people, and as publicly scheduled.
Electroacupuncture is a highly effective holistic treatment for pain, nausea, muscle rigidity, and chronic ailments. In practice, it is actually very similar to traditional acupuncture. Using the exact same system of Chinese Medicine, I insert very thin and sterile needles into specific points along the meridians of your body. I then attach the needles to a device that delivers gentle electrical pulses between two points, it feels similar to a TENS unit. This helps restore the healthy flow of Qi (energy) through your body, removing any blockages and clearing out stagnant areas, thus creating a stronger and clearer experience of health and well-being.
Tuning forks are a form of vibrational and sound healing. You don't even have to be hearing to get the benefits!
Though the chakra system comes from India, not China, it still pairs well with acupuncture and is non-invasive.
Tuning forks are activated then moved around your body and head, and sometimes touched to acupunture points to direct qi and alter the vibrational frequency of the meridians. You'll walk away with a renewed sense of self.
Acupressure is based on one the most ancient principles of healing — that simply touching a specific point on the body will release stress and improve health in the body. In an acupressure session, I apply firm pressure, or a "needle" that does not break the skin, directly to these "points" on your body, which relieves your muscle tension and improves your circulation. This simple and powerful technique has been shown to very effective in treating headaches, backaches, and even insomnia.
Additionally, acupressure seeds (ear seeds), or magnets may be applied to the ears or body points for powerful lasting effects.
Cupping has been a part of Chinese Medicine for over 2,500 years. It relieves aches and pains, improves blood and lymphatic circulation, and also helps with respiratory and digestive issues, and some mobility. I simply place a specialized "cup" onto specific points on your body, and then use suction to draw your skin up into the cups. It doesn't hurt — it draws fresh blood to that area of your body, which facilitates the cleansing and strengthening of your Qi (energy). The end result is a greater overall sense of health and well-being.
Shiatsu is a Japanese form of massage therapy performed over soft clothing, no undressing, no sticky oils! The word Shiatsu comes from two Japanese words — "shi" (finger) and "atsu" (pressure). In addition to the direct stimulation of pressure points along the energy pathways of your body, gentle stretching techniques are applied over a wider area of the body to integrate the point work and encourage the flow of Qi (energy) throughout the body. Shiatsu is a meditative healing art that honors the body, mind and spirit.
Please wear soft clothing with long sleeves and legs, such as leggings and undershirt.
Moxibustion, or Moxa, is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that involves the burning of the herb Mugwort, on or near the body to facilitate healing, and health through warmth. Moxibustion has been used for healing purposes throughout Asia for thousands of years. The purpose of moxibustion, as with most forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is to strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of Qi (energy); and enhance your overall vitality and health.
Among other benefits, a landmark study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1998 found that 75.4% of women suffering from breech presentations before childbirth had fetuses that rotated to the normal position after receiving moxibustion at an acupuncture point on the bladder meridian, along the pinky toe.

I let go of judgement and use education and positive encouragement to empower you to make the changes that will boost your quality of life.
Although Gua Sha is an ancient healing technique used by Chinese Medicine practitioners for thousands of years, it is relatively unknown in the West, only recently gaining popularity with facial gua sha. It is recognized throughout Asia as a highly effective treatment for chronic pain conditions, stress, fatigue, and a host of other ailments.
Please note, I do not do facial gua sha at this time. I use it on body areas to loosen stuck tissues.
First, Gua Sha oil is applied to a specific meridian (energy pathway) on your body. I then use a smooth round-edged object (such as a spoon) to apply short brisk strokes to that area. This creates red patches of skin (called "Sha"); detoxifying your blood and restoring the healthy flow if Qi (energy) to the area. There is no pain involved, and the Sha will fade in 2 to 3 days. But the sense of health and vitality you experience from it will last much longer.
