Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses sterile stainless steel needles placed along meridian pathways to restore energy flow and treat pain, inflammation, and systemic imbalances. Our practitioners combine traditional techniques with modern neuroscience understanding to address conditions like chronic pain, migraines, and emotional disorders. Each session includes personalized point selection based on pulse diagnosis and patient-specific needs.
Herbology
Custom herbal formulations containing 3-15 ingredients from our pesticide-free materia medica target root health issues. We prescribe classical formulas modified for individual constitutions, using tinctures, tablets, or raw herbs for digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and chronic conditions. Our practitioners ensure safe herb-drug interactions for patients using conventional medications.
Tuina
Tuina combines acupressure and therapeutic stretching to release muscle tension and improve circulation. This 2,000-year-old technique effectively treats musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries, and stress-related conditions through both deep-tissue and gentle approaches tailored to patient comfort levels during in-clinic sessions.
Cupping and Guasha
Cupping creates therapeutic suction to release fascial restrictions while Guasha uses smooth instruments to break up toxin accumulations. These techniques provide immediate pain relief for acute injuries and chronic conditions by restoring circulation and reducing inflammation through visible, temporary skin markings that fade within a week.
Telemedicine
Our distance healing sessions use video consultations to assess energy imbalances and deliver meridian-based treatments. Patients receive herbal recommendations, essential oil protocols, and movement therapy instructions during 90-minute virtual appointments that combine classical Chinese diagnostics with modern telehealth convenience for remote wellness support.
