    Acupuncture, Dry Needling & Herbs

    Acupuncture and herbal medicine have been used for centuries to support the body's innate intelligence in healing and maintaining optimal health.

    The healing principle is based on the premise that the body's life force energy, called Qi, is balanced and optimized when flowing freely and smoothly like a gentle river. Disruption to the flow of Qi can cause health issues.

    Acupuncture is the insertion of thin needles into specific points throughout the body to guide the Qi back into balance, stimulate healing, and promote ease and relaxation.

    Dry needling, also known as ashi point needling in Chinese Medicine, is a therapeutic technique designed to address muscle dysfunction and promote overall health. This process involves the insertion of sterile acupuncture needles into trigger points—tight, knotted areas within muscles that are causing discomfort, limited movement, and imbalances in the body. Dry needling helps to release the fascial muscle tension, improve blood circulation, and restore the natural function of the affected muscle tissue.

    A complete assessment of the body/mind/spirit is made through a comprehensive health history, pulse, and tongue diagnosis.

    Healing and wellness plans are then designed and implemented for your specific goals and needs over a series of sessions.

    Electro-stim acupuncture, gua sha, cupping, and moxibustion may be applied in your session.

    Holistic Skin Rejuvenation

    Beautiful, radiant skin originates from within.

    Microneedling (aka Collagen Induction Therapy) is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates your body to improve conditions such as lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, loose, sagging, or crepey skin, dry/rough skin texture, enlarged pores, melasma, hyper and hypo-pigmentation, hair loss, and stretch marks with very little downtime.

    Nano-needling is used to promote and sustain the skin rejuvenation effects in between microneedling sessions by boosting the absorption of skincare serums, and can also reduce dark circles and puffiness under the eyes with zero downtime.

    LED Light Therapy or light-emitting diode therapy, is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that exposes skin to different wavelengths of visible light to address a variety of skin conditions including: wrinkles, acne, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, wound healing, and hair loss and boost overall radiance with absolutely no downtime.

    3-6 sessions are recommended to attain the maximum benefits.

    We use only 100% non-toxic, bioadaptive, all-botanical stem cell formulations customized specifically for your skin, and TOMA Essential Skin Therapy products.
