ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a technique designed to improve health that has been practiced for thousands of years. Acupuncture helps to harmonize the overall function of the body. It is especially helpful for regulating the nervous system, which reduces stress. This may greatly improve many different health conditions.
HERBAL MEDICINE
Herbs have been the most effective form of medicine for most of human history. Plants contain hundreds of specific phytochemicals that have multiple effects in the body. Many plants have their greatest benefits when combined with other plants in specific formulas.
BODYWORK
Cupping involves the placement of specifically designed cups on the body to create suction. This may increase blood flow and cell regeneration. In addition, cupping improves the movement of Qi, a subtle energy in the body, which may improve many other health conditions.

ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a technique designed to improve health that has been practiced for thousands of years. Acupuncture helps to harmonize the overall function of the body. It is especially helpful for regulating the nervous system, which reduces stress. This may greatly improve many different health conditions. Acupuncture treatments use extremely thin sterile needles to stimulate specific points on the body to affect the subtle energetic system in amazing ways.
Each person who comes to receive acupuncture is unique, with different goals and lifestyle history. Therefore, our treatments are specifically designed to best fit individual needs and health patterns.
Your first appointment includes a deep review of your health history and lifestyle patterns. In addition, at your first appointment you will receive a treatment designed to light your path forward to future transformation. Future treatments will continue to be adjusted according to your specific needs and presentation.
Interestingly, there is often a main theme to an individual’s health patterns and habits. Once this is discovered then treatments may rapidly progress and transformation becomes a possibility.
Do you struggle with one of these health challenges?

You want to feel healthy, free, and powerful in your body. You seek a more complete understanding of weight loss and simple ways to achieve your goals.
- PURPOSE: You do not like your job and you feel a loss of creativity in your life. You know you are meant for more, but are unsure of what. You want a life of passion, vision, and purpose.

HERBAL MEDICINE
Herbs have been one of the most effective forms of medicine for most of human history. Plants contain hundreds of specific phytochemicals that have multiple effects in the body. Importantly, many plants have their greatest health benefits when combined with other plants in specific formulas.
Classical Chinese herbal medicine has been practiced for thousands of years. During this time, careful observations of health patterns over many generations helped establish an amazing system of knowledge. Using this system, a detailed analysis of tongue, pulse, and health history allows us to discover the potential root cause of your health challenges. Subsequently, special herbal formulas designed to heal the root cause of your suffering are prescribed.
Our approach to herbal medicine focuses providing excellent care. There are three main ways we are better than many others:
- Attention to detail: We ask questions others do not, which can help discover the hidden cause of your symptoms. We spend more time and focus on analyzing the tongue and pulse to discover underlying health patterns. We get a detailed health history and look at your lifestyle and habits. In addition to our extensive training in Eastern medicine, we have independently studied Western medicine for thousands of hours.
- Passion For Herbs: We love herbs and know specific formulas designed for complicated health conditions. This passion and deep knowledge of herbs gives us the ability to ask amazingly specific questions that help determine the best herbal formula for you.
- Patient Care: We also love providing quality care and making sure you have a great experience with herbs. As health changes, formulas can be modified with specific individual herbs that have a good history of treating certain symptoms.

Is This You?
- Emotional Stress: You have challenging emotions and depression or anxiety.
- Physical Problems: You have fatigue, digestive, hormonal, or menstrual problems.
- Insomnia: You experience difficulty sleeping deeply and wake up tired.

Herbal Time Commitment
Herbal medicine can improve both chronic and acute health conditions. For example, certain formulas may significantly shorten the length of a cold or improve allergies.
However, since chronic health conditions often take a long time to fully appear, then improving these conditions also takes longer. It is important to realize powerful and sustainable health benefits take time.
Many people in today’s society are used to unnatural pills with strong effects. Unfortunately, these same Western medications also often have harmful side effects that reduce quality of life. In contrast to Western medicine, most Eastern herbal medicine is natural and gentle, with fewer side effects. This gentler and more gradual approach means herbal formulas take longer to provide their full benefits.
Therefore, a three month commitment to regularly taking the prescribed herbal formula is necessary for you to experience the power of this medicine. Because herbal medicine beautifully supports acupuncture treatments, it is recommended you regularly receive acupuncture treatments while you are on your formula. Depending on your health condition and goals, acupuncture treatments can be as frequent as twice a week or as infrequent as twice a month.
Obviously, individual health results will vary depending on many factors, such as your health history, lifestyle, nutrition, commitment, and ability to make important lifestyle changes.
We are here for you on your health journey. We have seen amazing health transformations and know the power of making the right changes at the correct time.

BODYWORK
Cupping involves the placement of specifically designed cups on the body to create suction. This may increase blood flow and cell regeneration. In addition, cupping improves the movement of Qi, a subtle energy in the body, which may improve many other health conditions.
Cupping has a rich history. It has been practiced in many different cultures, including ancient Egypt, Greece, and China. Even the father of medicine, Hippocrates, recommended using cupping for many different health conditions.
Gua sha is another powerful technique that may stimulate blood flow and cell regeneration. Patients often report muscular pain significantly improves following a few gua sha sessions. To perform gua sha, the skin is lubricated with a relaxing oil and then repeatedly pressed with a special tool using smooth strokes.
The literal translation of gua sha is “to scrape petechia.” The appearance of petechia, which appears as sand-like bruising, is a desired effect of this treatment. This indicates the breakdown of tiny capillaries in the skin, which may stimulate increased blood flow and cell regeneration in the area.
Cupping and gua sha are typically offered separately from acupuncture treatments. These treatments are more frequently used for muscular pain, especially in the back, neck, and shoulders.
