Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture restores energetic balance by addressing qi blockages through strategic needle placement. This traditional Chinese medicine practice treats musculoskeletal pain, digestive disorders, emotional conditions, and neurological issues by stimulating the body's natural healing processes. Patients receive personalized treatment plans targeting specific symptoms while promoting overall wellness through regular sessions.
Psychotherapy
Our psychotherapy services combine cognitive, somatic, and relationship-based approaches to address emotional challenges. With over 31 years of clinical experience, we help clients explore destructive thought patterns, process trauma, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Sessions focus on building self-awareness and fostering personal growth through empathetic, client-centered care.
Auricular Therapy
Auricular therapy targets specific points on the ear to alleviate anxiety, cravings, and chronic pain. This technique stimulates endorphin production while addressing energetic imbalances affecting the entire body. It's particularly effective for addiction recovery, PTSD symptoms, and stress-related conditions through both needle and non-needle methods.
Medical Hypnoanalysis
Medical hypnoanalysis combines psychotherapy with guided hypnosis to uncover subconscious origins of emotional distress. This short-term therapy helps patients reframe limiting beliefs and break negative behavioral patterns. Sessions focus on expanding self-awareness and developing new mental pathways for lasting personal transformation.
Medical Qi Gong
Medical qi gong balances vital energy through non-contact hand movements above the body. This gentle therapy addresses subtle energetic imbalances affecting physical and emotional health. It's particularly suitable for sensitive individuals, children, and those preferring minimal physical contact during treatment sessions.
