Services
Traditional Chinese Medicine
We treat the human body as a whole, incorporating body, mind, and spirit to address the root causes of disharmony. This holistic system uses acupuncture, moxibustion, tuina, shiatsu, and lifestyle changes to treat conditions like chronic pain, stress, allergies, and digestive issues. Our approach helps patients achieve lasting balance and overall wellness.
Acupuncture
We use extremely fine needles placed at specific sites to stimulate the natural flow of qi and encourage balance. Depending on your particular circumstance, needles may be retained or inserted and removed quickly. This targeted treatment regulates your body's energy to promote physical health and healing.
Moxibustion
We use small cones of a gently smoldering herb placed near or on the skin to warm specific regions and acupuncture points. This technique is designed to stimulate circulation and induce a smoother flow of blood and qi. The gentle warmth supports the body's natural healing processes.
Cosmetic and Facial Acupuncture
We offer a less invasive and less costly alternative to surgical procedures for increasing physical and facial appearance. Utilizing the Mei Zen technique, we balance your total health by evaluating water intake, diet, exercise, and lifestyle factors. We recommend an initial series of 10 treatments within 5 weeks, followed by maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 weeks.
Rejuvanessence
Also known as the Fingertip Facelift, Rejuvanessence uses a light touch from the pad of the finger to release connective tissue in the skin's layers. This process releases stored stress, tension, and emotions to restore the skin's elasticity and flexibility. We also stimulate acupuncture points on the head to release healing energy, leaving you deeply relaxed.
