Heal what aches.
Acupuncture
Discover resilience.
Acupuncture is a classical treatment used to optimize organ function, regulate the nervous system, and stimulate the body’s innate healing capacities. Treatments involve the insertion of sterile hair-fine needles, application of heat to specific points, and manual manipulation of channel pathways along the body.
The efficacy of acupuncture treatment is rooted in our refined skills as diagnosticians and clinicians. Our work is informed by formal training in constitutional five-element theory and Shen-Hammer pulse diagnosis, and enriched by rigorous and ongoing studies of human development and classical acupuncture theory.
Every aspect of your treatment is intentional and thoughtfully considered through the lenses of both Eastern medicine and Western scientific research.
The Starting Point
Each person comes to acupuncture with unique goals and circumstances. Our treatments are customized to address them.
Initial treatments support individual concerns and lay the groundwork for deep health: nervous system regulation, improved digestive function, balanced energy, and emotional stability.
Ongoing treatments build strength and vitality, and serve as preventative medicine for a lifetime.

Is this you?
Acupuncture is often transformative if one of the following resonates:
EMOTIONAL STRESS: You wrestle with difficult emotions and seek an approach that supports both the physical and mental aspects of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress.
BURNOUT: You are burnt-out, stressed, tired, achy, and yearn for health and vitality that radiates to all aspects of living.
HORMONAL IMBALANCE: You struggle with menstrual or digestive difficulties, irregular moods and cravings, or insomnia/disturbed sleep patterns.
PREGNANCY: You would like to prepare for conception, address fertility issues, or support your body for a healthy pregnancy and birth.
PHYSICAL AILMENTS: You experience musculoskeletal pain and imbalances, fatigue, and/or difficult sleep that disrupts your life.
YOU HAVE EXHAUSTED OTHER OPTIONS: You have explored conventional medical approaches that either didn’t work or worked for a short time, you feel there is a deeper component to your condition that nobody has addressed, or you are looking for a natural medicine as an alternative to pharmaceuticals.
Treatment Duration & Maintenance
Each person and case is unique. Treatment duration varies based on your health history, goals, and level of commitment to the process. This medicine can be used to address acute symptoms and stressors that interfere with daily work/life rhythms, or it can be used for a lifetime of preventative care.
Sometimes, symptoms can disappear after one or two treatments. Other times, releasing a long-held pattern takes more time and attention. During the course of treatment, people often find that their preferences and habits naturally orient to those that generate health and well-being, and that seemingly unrelated aspects of their lives and health improve.
If you have questions about expected treatment duration or any other aspect of care, please schedule a free consultation. We would be happy to answer your questions!
