Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a 2,000+ year old Traditional Chinese Medicine practice that treats a wide range of conditions by gently stimulating specific points on the body with fine needles.
This activation supports your body’s natural healing abilities, helping restore balance and bring the system back into a state of harmony.
New Patient Initial Acupuncture Treatment
The initial visit includes an in-depth health history intake from both an Eastern and Western Medicine perspective.
Tongue and pulse diagnosis are evaluated and followed by an acupuncture treatment where you rest for 30-40 minutes while the needles do their work.
Depending on your condition, other modalities such as electro-acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, or moxibustion may be used.
Herbal medicine, nutrition and supplements may also be suggested.
During the first visit we determine how your body needs support and then create a treatment plan based on your health goals.

Cupping
Cupping is a manual therapy that uses suction cups placed on the skin to create gentle negative pressure.
This "inverse massage" lifts the muscle and fascia, helping to increase circulation, relieve muscle tension, and reduce inflammation. Cupping is commonly used for pain management, but it also supports immune function and may be beneficial for conditions such as the common cold, asthma, bronchitis, and fever.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha, also known as "scraping therapy," involves using a smooth handheld tool to gently scrape the skin.
This technique helps break up stagnation, increase blood flow, and stimulate tissue repair. While traditionally used for muscle and joint pain, Gua Sha has also been shown to support recovery from fever, cough, asthma, and migraines.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is burning of the herb mugwort (Ai Ye) near acupuncture points to warm and stimulate them.
This warming therapy helps promote circulation, relax the nervous system, and support the flow of Qi. Moxibustion is especially helpful in conditions involving cold, such as fatigue, digestive discomfort, and pain.
Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine offers a natural approach to treating a wide range of conditions without the side effects often associated with pharmaceuticals.
Herbal formulas are carefully customized to your unique presentation, using single herbs or combinations. Remedies may be provided in the form of teas, tinctures, pills, or capsules.
Nutrition Therapy
I believe that food is medicine. The nutrients we consume interact with our DNA and can influence whether certain health conditions develop—or are prevented.
Through dietary counseling and targeted supplement recommendations, I create healing plans tailored to your body’s specific needs, offering practical guidance and resources to support optimal wellness.
