A Modern Interpretation of Ancient Medicine

Chinese medicine has always been systems-based, personalized, and preventative. We bring that same philosophy into the present, using modern insights, functional testing, and lifestyle integration.

Your session may include:

Acupuncture
Chinese herbal medicine
Cupping therapy
Gua sha
Moxibustion
Nutritional and lifestyle guidance
Functional lab testing when appropriate

This allows us to move beyond symptom management into true root-cause healing.

What Acupuncture Is Actually Doing

Nervous System Regulation

Helps shift the body out of chronic fight-or-flight and into a parasympathetic, repair-oriented state. This supports resilience, emotional regulation, and physical recovery.
Circulation & Oxygenation

Improves microcirculation so optimal oxygen and nutrients reach where it’s needed. This supports cellular repair, energy production, and overall tissue health.
Inflammation Control

Helps regulate inflammatory signaling that contributes to chronic pain, fatigue, metabolic dysfunction, and autoimmune patterns.
Gut–Brain Signaling

Supports communication between the digestive system and nervous system, influencing mood, digestion, immunity, and energy levels.
Hormonal Balance

Supports regulation of the HPA axis and other endocrine pathways involved in stress, sleep, metabolism, and reproductive health.
Immune Function

Supports immune signaling and balance, helping the body respond appropriately to stressors instead of remaining in a chronically activated state.
Sleep Architecture

Improves the quality and depth of sleep by calming nervous system hyperarousal and supporting natural circadian rhythms.
Detox Pathways

Supports the body’s natural elimination systems, including the liver, lymphatic system, kidneys, and digestion, through improved circulation and nervous system regulation.

What Your First Visit Looks Like

A Thorough Consultation

Your first visit begins with an in-depth consultation designed to understand your full health picture. We review your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, stress patterns, sleep, digestion, and goals to identify underlying imbalances and root causes. This is a thoughtful, systems-based conversation.

Personalized Plan

You will leave with a clear, customized care plan outlining recommended treatment frequency, supportive therapies, and next steps. Treatment length varies based on your condition. Acute concerns often respond more quickly, while chronic or complex patterns typically require a more gradual, layered approach over time.

Treatment

Following your consultation, you will receive a personalized mixed modality acupuncture treatment tailored to what your body needs that day. Each session is adaptive and may include supportive modalities to enhance regulation, circulation, and healing. Treatments evolve as your body responds and changes.
