Traditional Chinese Medicine & Wellness
ACUPUNCTURE
TCM acupuncture is an ancient healing practice that uses ultra-fine needles to stimulate specific points on the body, restoring balance to the flow of energy, or Qi. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it supports the body’s natural healing processes tonifying the nervous system, relieving pain, reducing stress, improving sleep, balancing hormones, and enhancing overall health without drugs or invasive procedures.
CUPPING
Cupping therapy is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that uses gentle suction to warm and promote the flow of Qi and blood, release muscle tension, and draw out cold and dampness. It helps relieve pain, reduce inflammation, calm the nervous system, and activate deep relaxation, leaving you feeling lighter and restored.
MOXIBUSTION
Moxa therapy uses the gentle heat of burning mugwort to warm the body, stimulate energy flow, and dispel cold from the meridians. Whether used alone or with acupuncture, it can ease pain, boost energy, improve circulation, and support hormonal balance, making it especially helpful for menopausal symptoms, chronic fatigue, and conditions aggravated by cold. The comforting warmth not only promotes healing but also leaves you feeling deeply restored.
TUINA MASSAGE
Tuina pronounced "tweenah" is a complementary and alternative Chinese medicine modality that makes use of rhythmic compression techniques along different energy channels of the body to establish harmonious flow of Qi throughout the body and bringing it back to balance. By applying pressure to meridians, acupoints, and groups of muscles and nerves, tuina removes blockages and works deeply with the positive energy of the body.
GUA SHA
A gua sha tool, which is simply a Chinese ceramic spoon, is used to gently rub across the skin after gua sha oil (a massage oil) is applied. Gua sha is used similar to cupping but may be used across many parts of the body where cups may have difficulty staying in place (ex: arms, neck, foot, or calf). Gua sha is used to treat a smaller and more surface area of the skin than cupping.
YOGA
A Hindu spiritual and ascetic discipline, a part of which, including breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures, is widely practiced for health and relaxation.
NUTRITION
Our nutrition consultations go beyond simple meal plans—we combine Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) wisdom with a Western holistic perspective to address digestion, hormone balance, skin health, and metabolic wellness. This integrated approach provides comprehensive care and the best possible outcomes for each individual.
In TCM, there are no “good” or “bad” foods—only foods that are appropriate or inappropriate for you based on your unique constitution and health needs. Just like herbs, foods carry different energetic qualities that can be warming, cooling, moistening, or drying. For example, Yang-warming tonic herbs and foods can be deeply restorative for someone who is cold and fatigued, but the same choices might trigger irritation or night sweats in someone with Yin deficiency.
Through personalized nutrition guidance, we select the most appropriate foods and herbs for your current state of health, ensuring that your diet works in harmony with your body. Food therapy in TCM is part of a larger system that also includes acupuncture and herbal medicine—helping you restore balance, increase vitality, and feel your best from the inside out.

REFLEXOLOGY
​
Reflexology is a time-honored healing art, with roots in ancient Egypt and China, that applies gentle pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears to restore balance throughout the body. This deeply relaxing therapy supports your body’s natural healing processes, helping to reduce pain and tension, improve sleep quality, enhance circulation, relieve headaches, and build stress resilience. Many people also notice an overall boost in energy and well-being after a session.

SCALP ACUPUNCTURE
Chinese scalp acupuncture is a specialized technique that blends the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern neuroscience. By stimulating specific areas of the scalp that correspond to the brain’s cortex, this powerful therapy can help improve neurological function, reduce pain, and support recovery from both acute and chronic conditions. Patients have experienced benefits for stroke recovery, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, and brain injuries, as well as relief from phantom limb pain, CRPS, and long COVID symptoms. Scalp acupuncture can also improve balance, coordination, communication challenges such as aphasia, and support individuals with autism or PTSD. It offers a natural, drug-free approach to restoring function and well-being—tailored to your unique needs while addressing both root causes and symptoms.
