Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves inserting sterile stainless steel needles into specific meridian points to restore qi flow and promote natural healing. This clinically proven technique effectively treats chronic pain, anxiety, digestive issues, and women's health concerns. Our practitioners use individualized diagnosis based on tongue and pulse analysis to create targeted treatment plans that address root causes rather than symptoms.

Electro-Acupuncture

Electro-acupuncture applies gentle electrical currents through acupuncture needles to enhance treatment effectiveness. This modality is particularly beneficial for chronic pain management and fertility support, helping regulate qi and blood flow. Patients experience mild vibrating sensations at treatment sites while benefiting from accelerated healing responses through combined electrical and traditional acupuncture stimulation.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy uses controlled negative pressure to release muscle tension and improve circulation. Glass or plastic cups create localized suction that draws stagnant blood and toxins to the surface for lymphatic elimination. This treatment leaves temporary marks indicating toxin levels while providing immediate relief from tightness and improving range of motion in affected areas.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Customized herbal formulations address systemic imbalances using time-tested combinations of medicinal plants. Each prescription combines base formulas with 3-5 modified herbs tailored to individual diagnoses. This approach treats underlying conditions rather than symptoms alone, supporting long-term wellness through natural botanical compounds that complement acupuncture treatments and lifestyle modifications.

Moxibustion

Moxibustion applies heat from burning mugwort herb to specific acupuncture points, enhancing yang energy and qi circulation. This warming therapy proves particularly effective for fertility support, breech presentation in pregnancy, and digestive disorders. The penetrating heat stimulates meridian activity and complements needle treatments to reinforce therapeutic outcomes through combined thermal and energetic effects.

Nicole is amazing! She listens and really tailors her treatment plan to what you need long term and can adjust on the fly if issues arise. She is very knowledgeable about pre and post natal care. Really appreciate all her help to have a happy and healthy baby! Wish I could see her more!

I've had a great experience with Nicole. She's been thoughtful and helpful throughout our appointments. I love that she has appointment times in the early evening. She's easy to communicate and schedule with and very responsive. Everything about working with her has been seamless. I'd highly recommend her.

I worked with Nicole before she opened her Seattle location. It was an absolute pleasure getting to know her and working with her during a difficult time in my health. She not only gave me treatment during my appointments but researched my condition and gave me many helpful suggestions for my diet and lifestyle that would better my situation overall. She is very thorough in her treatment and is an outstanding person as well!
