Acupuncture is a core part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that uses ultra-fine needles to gently stimulate points along the body’s meridians (energy pathways). This helps restore balance to the flow of Qi (energy) and blood, supporting your body’s natural ability to heal. From a modern perspective, acupuncture can calm the nervous system, improve circulation, and trigger the release of natural chemicals that reduce pain and improve mood.

 Acupuncture can support a wide range of concerns, including:

• Chronic pain – back, neck, shoulder, joint, and muscle pain

• Hormonal imbalances – menstrual issues, PMS, menopause, fertility support

• Headaches and migraines

• Digestive issues – bloating, IBS, acid reflux, constipation

• Stress, anxiety, and depression

• Insomnia and sleep disturbances

• Emotional challenges – grief, burnout, trauma recovery

• Autoimmune conditions – such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and more

• Complicated internal medicine cases – when symptoms are complex, multi-system, or not responding to conventional care

• Respiratory concerns – allergies, asthma, lingering coughs or colds

• Preventative care and seasonal alignment – staying balanced with the rhythms of nature

• General wellness – to feel more grounded, energized, and connected to yourself

Most patients find acupuncture gentle and relaxing. The needles are thinner than a human hair, and you may feel a quick pinch, gentle tingle, or wave of warmth. Many patients even fall asleep during their sessions

We’ll begin with a detailed conversation about your health history, lifestyle, and goals. Your first treatment may include acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, bodywork, or other supportive techniques, depending on your needs that day.

 Everybody is different. Some patients notice improvement after one session, while others need a series to see lasting changes. We’ll create a plan together that supports your health goals and works with your schedule.
