Acupuncture

Used throughout Asia for thousands of years, Acupuncture helps to prevent, treat, and heal the many ailments of the mind, body, and spirit.

Today, we use this Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) not only as a PREVENTATIVE treatment but to broaden the scope of treating the entire problem: root, manifestations and symptoms.

Based on holistic philosophy, one ailment may affect other parts of the body that the patient may not even realize. In TCM, we address the entire body, not just the isolated problem.

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT

Acupuncture works through working the body's Qi.

Qi is the life force or "energy" that runs in every living thing. Whenever there is an ailment ( or an imbalance), it is because the Qi has been "blocked." In order for the human body to function properly, we need Qi to run smoothly therefore balancing the body aka homeostasis.

Using techniques such as Acupuncture, we manipulate the Qi to address the issues of ailment. We use needles that are stainless steel, sterilized, one-time use, disposable needles. They range in different gauges but most used in modern day practices aren't thicker than a human hair. We insert these needles are certain acupuncture points (founds through anatomical landmarks throughout the body), which correspond to different meridians in the body. These meridians are in charge of running the Qi smoothly from organ-to-organ, system- to-system. Any blockage of the Qi found in these meridians will loosen and ensure smooth Qi flow once again.

Auricular Acupuncture

The ear is seen as a microcosm of our entire body. The ear represents an upside down fetus.

Auricular (Ear) Acupuncture is great for those who are afraid of needles or do not like being touched. With more than 200 acupuncture points found in the ear, Auricular Acupuncture is effective at treating PTSD, emotional trauma, sleep functioning, anxiety, and addictive habits. It can also be used to target weight loss, chronic pain, and digestion issues.

Esoteric Acupuncture

Esoteric Acupuncture is a nontraditional form of acupuncture that focuses on spiritual growth and personal self-awareness on a finer frequency. It helps to deal with physical ailments but focuses mainly on emotional and spiritual ailments while elevating the patient to a higher, refined realm of consciousness and flow of energy.

Esoteric acupuncture is great for those seeking additional guidance along with their meditation or religious practices. It is used as a separate treatment from traditional acupuncture (which mainly addresses the physical ailments of the body.)

How does it work?

Esoteric Acupuncture mainly focuses on energy gateways of the body aka Chakras. It helps to balance and strengthen all chakras while opening up the body's channels for acceptance of love. Patients dealing with spiritual awakenings/ doubt, emotionally issues or just want to experience a higher frequency of energy in their life are highly recommended to use esoteric acupuncture.

What to expect

Esoteric Acupuncture treatment times vary from 45-70 minutes. You may feel tingling or numbness or a surge of energy and calmness with the treatment. Needles will be gently inserted throughout the body- because they are inserted much more shallow than traditional acupuncture, the patient will feel a sense of calmness almost immediately.
