Well-Being starts with balance
Vibrant health is a result of dynamic balance, while health issues and disease stem from disharmony in the body, lifestyle, or environment. Acupuncture and Eastern medicine can help you have more vitality, less pain, and better overall well-being.
Acupuncture sessions include a thorough health history and discussion of your health goals. The treatments are gentle and attentive and may include acupuncture, gua sha, heat therapy, nutrition guidance and more.
