Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate energy flow through meridians, restoring balance and promoting healing. This 2,500-year-old practice addresses pain, hormonal imbalances, and emotional disorders by correcting Qi flow disruptions. Patients experience improved circulation and nervous system regulation through personalized point selection.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping creates localized suction to increase blood flow and draw toxins to the surface. This technique alleviates muscle tension, reduces inflammation, and supports lymphatic drainage. Patients receive targeted treatment for chronic pain areas while enhancing overall circulation through traditional glass or silicone cups.
Reiki Healing
Reiki practitioners channel universal life force energy to restore bodily balance through hands-on contact. This Japanese technique reduces stress, accelerates healing, and clears energy blockages. Sessions promote deep relaxation while addressing emotional and physical imbalances through intuitive energy assessment.
Body Talk
Body Talk uses muscle testing to identify energetic imbalances and communication breakdowns within the body. Practitioners address these issues through targeted tapping techniques that reset the endocrine system. This modality helps patients overcome chronic conditions by restoring systemic harmony and self-healing capabilities.
ThetaHealing
ThetaHealing utilizes theta brainwave states to facilitate mind-body-spirit transformation. Practitioners identify and replace limiting beliefs at the cellular level through guided meditation. This technique supports emotional healing, behavioral change, and spiritual alignment through conscious connection with innate healing wisdom.

Report
Once upon a time, I was a skeptic of acupuncture and similar modes of healing. No more. I recently injured my leg and was in so much pain that it was difficult to sleep or walk for several days. Dr. Koota treated me on the day when the pain was at its height, and after the treatment the pain decreased by at least 50%. After a second treatment, the pain was gone and I was back to normal! Dr. Koota has also helped me tremendously with my digestion and overall health through dietary changes. Highly recommend.
