Holistic Medicine Modalities

  • Acupuncture

    Acupuncture supports the body's ability to heal and respond to stress. Hair-fine single-use sterile needles are inserted into acupuncture points to unblock energy ("qi") and elicit healing neurochemical and physiological responses, reducing inflammation, pain and promoting relaxation along the way.

  • Moxibustion/Heat Therapy

    Traditionally made from dried mugwort, moxibustion, or “moxa,” is rich in essential oils like cineole and borneol. This heat therapy is applied to acupuncture points and other areas of the body to relieve pain, promote blood circulation, and optimize immune and digestive function. 

  • Cupping & Gua Sha

    Cupping and gua sha both address stagnation and pain to enhance physical mobility. By compressing and decompressing the fascia and muscles, circulation and healing blood flow are increased.

  • Chinese Herbal Medicine

    Chinese herbal medicine is a core part of our practice. We combine modern research with traditional herbal wisdom to safely and effectively treat a wide range of concerns—such as digestive issues, stress and anxiety, sleep problems, women’s health, allergies, pain, and immune support.

  • Dietary Therapy aka ‘Kitchen Medicine’

    We believe food is medicine—and that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Your unique constitution determines which foods best support your energy, digestion, and overall wellbeing. Our practitioners guide you in making personalized dietary shifts to improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and support healthy blood sugar and weight.

  • Therapeutic Supplements

    When it comes to supplements, choices are endless, but we believe less is more. We only recommend high-quality, evidence-based nutrients that target your specific health concerns—such as immune resilience, stress regulation, digestion, hormonal balance, or recovery. Our practitioners carefully assess safety, dosage, and any potential interactions to ensure every supplement fits seamlessly into your treatment plan. 

  • Movement & Meditation

    While exercise benefits everyone, Chinese medicine emphasizes movement that nourishes the mind, body, and spirit. Our practitioners may recommend gentle practices such as Qigong to relieve stress, support longevity and overall vitality. When appropriate, we also incorporate guided imagery and meditation techniques to deepen relaxation and promote holistic wellbeing.

How It Works

If you haven’t had acupuncture before, you may wonder what it’s like, how it all works–and we totally get that! From the moment you book your first appointment, we’re here to make your experience feel easy and supported. 

Book Your Appointment

Once you’re scheduled, you’ll receive a comprehensive intake form to complete, so your practitioner can get to know you—your story, your symptoms, and what you’re hoping to achieve with treatments.

Intake & Assessment

At your visit, we will review your health history, ask (a lot!) of questions, but also answer yours, review any labwork, imaging and other treatment plans, and then gently guide you through traditional assessments, like looking at your tongue and taking your Chinese medicine pulses. 

Treatment

Once complete, it’s acunap time, and needles are placed, heat lamps turned on, calming music plays–and you get to rest your mind and body. 

Your practitioner is always working with you, and together, you’ll co-create a treatment plan that feels nourishing and doable, setting the foundation for healing that unfolds with care and intention.
