Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a core therapy within Chinese Medicine that uses very fine needles placed at specific points on the body to support the body’s natural healing processes. Treatments help regulate the nervous system, improve circulation, reduce pain, resolve inflammation, promote tissue healing and restore balance across the various body systems. It is common to experience states of deep rest and repair during sessions. Each treatment is tailored to the unique condition and constitution of the individual, supporting both immediate relief and long-term healing.

Commonly treated: pain, neuropathy, injury, stress and anxiety, mental and emotional imbalance, hormone imbalance, digestive conditions, allergies, sleep issues, environmental illness, menopause, fertility, pregnancy and postpartum care, migraines, chronic inflammatory conditions and acute and chronic illness.

Meridian Therapy is a refined style of acupuncture and bodywork focused on balancing the body’s meridian or channel system. It emphasizes subtle palpation of pulses, abdomen and channels to identify root imbalances and treat using gentle needling or non-insertive techniques, moxibustion and touch.

Classical Acupuncture draws directly from the classical sources of acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and emphasizes foundational principles of qi transformation and channel theory and a profound understanding of human physiology. It focuses on root-level healing and harmonization through precise diagnosis, palpation and needling to address constitutional patterns, complex illness patterns, and foster the body’s innate self-healing.

Pulse Diagnosis utilizes traditional pulse reading with nuanced, layered interpretation of qualities at multiple depths of palpation of the pulse. It reveals detailed insights into organ function, emotional states, constitutional patterns, inflammatory responses, immune responses, traumas, disease processes, early detection of illness and disease etc. This precise, integrative tool enhances accurate diagnosis and guides personalized treatment in acupuncture and herbal prescription.

Pediatric Acupuncture uses very gentle techniques to support children’s health and development. Treatments are adapted to each child’s age, comfort with minimal or no needle insertion. A teishin, a smooth, rounded instrument stimulates points without penetrating the skin. Sessions are brief and calming.

Moxibustion Therapy involves burning refined mugwort (moxa) near or on acupoints to deliver gentle, penetrating warmth. It stimulates qi and blood flow, supports tissue healing, immune response and tonifies deficiency and weakness. Valued for its precision and comfort in Japanese styles, it can be utilized for the treatment of numerous conditions.
