Holistic Healing for the Modern Body
Acupuncture is a time-tested therapeutic art that uses ultra-fine needles to stimulate specific points along the body’s energy pathways, or meridians. By activating these points, acupuncture improves circulation, releases muscular and emotional tension, regulates internal systems, and promotes deep states of calm and healing.
Whether you’re managing chronic pain, hormonal imbalance, anxiety, fatigue, or just need to reset your nervous system, acupuncture meets you where you are—treating both root causes and surface symptoms for lasting results.
We Specialize In:
- Stress, anxiety & burnout recovery
- Hormonal balance, fertility & menstrual health
- Chronic and acute pain (neck, back, joints, TMJ)
- Digestive imbalances (IBS, bloating, acid reflux)
- Headaches, migraines & sinus pressure
- Insomnia & sleep regulation
- Fatigue, brain fog & immune support
- Postoperative & injury recovery
- Long COVID & post-viral syndromes
- Emotional well-being & trauma healing
Why Japanese Acupuncture?
For clients who are sensitive, anxious about needles, or simply prefer a more subtle approach, we offer Japanese-style acupuncture, a method known for its gentle touch, shallow needling, and highly refined diagnostic techniques. Japanese acupuncture often uses thinner needles, fewer insertions, and moxibustion (herbal heat therapy) to tonify the body’s energy without overstimulation.
This style is ideal for:
- Children and needle-sensitive adults
- People with chronic illness or low energy
- Patients with autoimmune or complex conditions
- Those looking for a deeply calming, meditative session
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Your session begins with a thorough intake including pulse and tongue diagnosis, symptom discussion, and a review of your emotional and energetic patterns. We then create a custom point prescription and gently place needles according to your needs—either using TCM, Japanese-style, or an integrative blend.
Most clients find the treatment deeply relaxing. You may feel warmth, a gentle wave, or a floating sensation as the energy shifts. Many patients fall into a restful, dream-like state—what we call an “acu-nap”—and leave feeling grounded, energized, and clear.
Common Questions About Acupuncture
Does it hurt?
Not at all. The needles are as thin as a strand of hair. Most clients feel a tiny pinch, if anything, followed by a calming sensation. Japanese-style acupuncture is especially known for its pain-free approach.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your goals. Acute issues may resolve in 3–6 sessions, while chronic or complex conditions often benefit from a longer series. Your practitioner will guide you with a personalized treatment plan.
Is acupuncture safe?
Yes, when performed by a licensed practitioner. We use sterile, single-use needles and follow strict safety protocols. Acupuncture is safe for all ages and is commonly used in conjunction with Western medical care.
Can I combine acupuncture with other treatments?
Absolutely. Acupuncture pairs well with cupping, herbal therapy, microneedling, chiropractic, and IV therapy. It enhances the effectiveness of most healing modalities by regulating the nervous system and promoting circulation.
