Acupressure
An alternate technique derived from acupuncture. In acupressure, physical pressure is applied to acupuncture points by the hand, elbow, or with various devices. Similar to massage, but the pressure is emphasized on certain parts of your body to promote healing. Read More
Aroma Acupoint Therapy
Aroma Acupoint Therapy, or AAT (as we like to call it) is a gentle, completely safe and yet profoundly effective treatment modality that utilizes the energetic potential locked within pure essential oils. Treatment involves placing particular oils on specific acupoints or reflex zones on the body in order to trigger energetic changes in the individual that will bring her back to a state of balance. Aroma Acupoint Therapy works on the basis of mutual resonance through the systematic and intentional combination of essential oils and acupoints, resulting in a more significant clinical effect than using either of these treatment methods alone. Essential oils available for purchase.
Pediatric Acupuncture

Cupping
Chinese cupping therapy traditionally uses heated glass jars to relieve acute symptoms. It is a process of suctioning or vacuuming sections of the body’s meridian system for the purpose of drawing out toxins, pain management, increasing blood flow, and promoting a healthier flow of chi energies.

Trigger Point Acupuncture
This treatment is particularly effective for clients experiencing muscle and joint pains resulting from injuries, chronic orthopedic onditions, and any pain resulting from repetitive strains and stress. Additionally, it is a great solution for athletes, yoga practitioners, dancers, personal trainers, cross-fit enthusiasts and other people with active lifestyles.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a warming treatment that involves burning an herb called mugwort. It is used to warm regions of the body and acupuncture points in order to stimulate circulation. Read More
Auricular Acupuncture
Auricular acupuncture is the stimulation of acupuncture points on the external ear surface for the diagnosis and treatment of health conditions in other areas of the body.
Craniosacral Therapy
Through this gentle therapy, very light movements are applied to the skull to mobilize the cranio-sacral rhythmic flow of fluid. Treatment is based on the theory that cerebrospinal fluid ebbs and flows within the membrane around the brain and spinal cord, increasing or decreasing pressure on the cranium in the process.
Orthopedic Acupuncture
A combination of classic Traditional Chinese Medicine and Japanese Meridian Theory, with structural and myofascial techniques for the treatment of pain, soft tissue injuries, postural imbalances, and other general systemic disorders. Read More
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. Read More
