Acupuncture
So lets get you scheduled...
For thousands of years, Acupuncture has been used to promote healing within the body. Today, Acupuncturists attend training as intense and thorough as that of western medicine. If you're curious, come talk to us! We now offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation with one of our acupuncturists. It's your opportunity to really ask questions and find out if this treatment is right for you! This 15-Minute consultation is not required to book your first treatment.
Your first acupuncture appointment will last 75 minutes and will consist of a health history conversation, and your first needle treatment. During this time our main focus is to get to know you and to understand your health concerns so that we can focus treatment on your needs. This is also a great opportunity for you to get a baseline awareness of your daily patterns that we will track together.
Subsequent treatments will last approximately 1 hour. During each session we will begin with a conversation to discuss your progress on your path of wellness and determine the areas for further improvement. The needle treatment is artfully designed for you in that moment to create the opening for new possibilities in your life. These can be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual in nature. It is all connected. We will also discuss practices you can do between treatments to assure the lasting effects you desire.

Cupping for Pain Relief & Relaxation
Cupping can be thought of as “the inverse of massage”. It is similar to the practice of Tui Na, a traditional Chinese medicinal massage technique, using pressure to relieve pain in specific body parts, as well as along acupuncture channels, except it uses suction to achieve a similar goal. It gently pulls on muscle, fascia, and skin to engage several bodily systems simultaneously. The suction and negative pressure can relax stiff muscles, encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system. The cups are generally left on for 10 to 15 minutes, while the patient relaxes, and then oil can be applied, if desired. Cupping is typically combined with acupuncture OR a Swedish or Integrated Massage in a common treatment, but can be used alone, as well.
