Services
Korean Hand Acupuncture
This specialized technique stimulates corresponding points on the hands to balance brain signals affected by repetitive lifestyle patterns. Small needles target nerve endings to address sleeping problems, hormonal imbalances, and mental fatigue. Regular sessions improve energy flow and help manage stress-related conditions through the body's natural reflex systems.
Body Acupuncture
Using 361 standardized meridian points, this traditional method treats pain management and circulation issues. Effective for skin conditions like eczema and scars, it improves local blood flow to accelerate healing. The technique addresses both physical symptoms and underlying energetic imbalances to promote holistic wellness through neurologically-mediated responses.
Cupping Therapy
This negative pressure technique enhances blood circulation in muscles and joints while reducing inflammation. By creating localized suction, it helps detoxify tissues and improve nutrient exchange in blood vessels. The therapy addresses chronic tension patterns and circulation issues, with visible marks indicating areas needing continued treatment for optimal recovery.

Questions

Acupuncture effectively treats chronic pain, stress-related disorders, sleep disturbances, and circulation issues. It also helps with post-surgical recovery and unexplained symptoms related to nerve circulation.
How does cupping therapy work?
Cupping uses negative pressure to increase blood flow in targeted areas. This reduces inflammation, promotes detoxification, and helps resolve chronic muscle tension patterns through improved circulation.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Initial consultations include health history review and personalized treatment planning. Sessions typically last one hour with needle placement or cupping application based on your specific needs and comfort level.
Do you accept insurance?

How often should I schedule treatments?
Acute conditions may require weekly sessions, while chronic issues often need 4+ sessions. Treatment frequency adjusts based on individual progress and response to therapy.
