Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the stimulation of specific points located throughout the body, via the insertion of very fine needles, in order influence physiological function of the body and promote healing. Scientifically-speaking, acupuncture triggers the release of neurotransmitters and regulates levels of hormones, which in turn reduces pain, calms, nourishes, balances and heals the mind, body and spirit.
Cupping
A technique that uses small glass or plastic cups as suction devices, placed on the skin to disperse and break up congestion by drawing congested blood, energy or other humors to the surface.

Nutritional Counseling
Asian/Chinese medicine includes a vital nutrition component. It is a unique way to look at nutrition, because it not only addresses what type of foods one should choose, but also the season in which it is being consumed, the temperature at which it’s consumed, or how food is cooked or prepared, and what you are combining with it. These factors, united with a thorough examination of the person’s constitution, allow the consultation to be extremely precise in its recommendations. For example, kale, the superfood champion, has the highest nutrient density of any food out there, but many people have difficulty digesting it, and find it makes them bloated and gassy – so for them, it is not-so-super. Come in and find out how this ancient art can benefit you.
