Acupuncture

The ancient art of acupuncture involves inserting fine needles into acupuncture points in order to stimulate the electromagnetic potential of the nervous system to release chemicals or hormones in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. This process activates the body's innate healing system in order to reduce inflammation, pain, and discomfort anywhere in the body.

Sound, Reiki, Aromatherapy, and Crystal Energy Healing

Precision calibrated tuning forks, tibetan and crystal bowls, and tibetan bells are used both on and off the body to access the body's energy systems including the acupuncture meridians and chakras. This can facilitate dynamic and profound shifts on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. 

Energy healing and reiki is a highly intuitive therapeutic approach that taps into the body's innate healing capacity. A practitioner places their hands on or above the body to access energetic information to promote positive change to the physical, mental, and emotional states.

​

Crystal healing therapy adds the unique vibration and wisdom of the earth. Crystals are applied to chakras and acupuressure points in order to change the operational frequency of the organs and energy channels.

Cupping, Gua Sha, and Bodywork

Cupping and gua sha are techniques designed to pull toxin build-up and muscle spasm from the body’s deeper tissue to the surface of the skin. Not only can these techniques pull toxin build-up out of specific areas, but they can also pull fresh new blood into those areas, which vitalizes and restores proper blood flow.

​

Therapeutic Bodywork may be added to your acupuncture session for an additional fee.
