Traditional Acupuncture + Herbal Medicine

Acupuncture is a holistic therapy that uses tiny, sterile needles to restore health and balance to your life.

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.
