Acupuncture is a holistic therapy that uses tiny, sterile needles to restore health and balance to your life. Acupuncture takes an “entire body” approach to health and wellness, meaning the practice views health as an interconnected whole. Instead of simply treating one isolated problem or symptom, your acupuncturist will employ practices that focus on improving your overall health.

Herbs are a safe and natural treatment for many common health conditions. Chinese herbs are prescribed by our board certified herbalists and are dispensed as formulas, specially created to treat your symptoms as well as your constitutional diagnosis. Herbal Medicine consults are included in all traditional acupuncture treatments. The price of herbs is not included.


Massage Therapy

Our board certified massage therapists offer a variety of therapeutic massage and bodywork techniques and will work with you to attain your health and wellness goals. Each massage is customized to your individual needs, including but not limited to lymphatic drainage, deep tissue, sports massage, Swedish, trigger point work, and pregnancy massage.


Natural Beauty + Rejuvenation

Let's talk about radiant aging, rejuvenation, and holistic skin care! Cosmetic acupuncture, or 'facial rejuvenation', lets you keep your skin as youthful as your spirit. Hailed as a natural substitute for botox, cosmetic acupuncture is a non-invasive procedure that smooths fine lines, firms skins tone, and provides you with numerous benefits associated with healthy skin.


Light Therapy

Naturally improve cellular health and accelerate the body’s own healing abilities to feel and look better. Light therapy can increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, kill acne bacteria, decrease inflammation, improve skin tone, and also ease muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasm, and arthritis.
**Can be added on to any regular treatment**

He also incorporates his knowledge of sports medicine and Kinesiology to help recommend stretches and changes in everyday life to help clients maintain a more pain free lifestyle. Russ specializes in Swedish, deep tissue, pregnancy and trigger point massage.
