EACH MERIDIAN TELLS A STORY

THERAPIES WE USE IN YOUR CARE

Fine, sterile needles are placed at specific points to regulate energy (Qi), support nervous system balance, reduce pain, and promote healing from the inside out.

These traditional manual techniques use suction cups or a smooth tool to increase circulation, release tension, and aid in lymphatic drainage and detoxification.

A gentle electrical current enhances stimulation through the needles, commonly used for chronic pain, nerve recovery, and musculoskeletal conditions.

tui na

A hands-on approach combining massage, acupressure and mobilization to support structural alignment and unblock energy pathways.

auricular acupuncture

Specific points on the ear are stimulated using tiny needles or ear seeds, often used to support pain relief, mood regulation, cravings, and sleep.

We may prescribe tailored herbal formulas and dietary guidance to correct root imbalances, aid digestion, soothe the mind, and boost vitality.

WE OPEN WITH FLOW
