Our mission is to help you improve well-being, because you want to thrive, right?! We use the holistic tools of acupuncture, herbs, and nutrition, along with functional medicine testing and treatment plan to amplify your physical and mental healing potential.
Acupuncture stimulates the central nervous system to release endogenous chemicals that alter hormonal output, pain response, and other biological processes. This stimulation deactivates certain areas of the brain, while increasing the body’s natural opioids and release of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin. This process has a powerful effect: decreasing inflammation, increasing blood flow, balancing hormones, relieving pain, and normalizing an out of balance nervous system.

It's a Lifestyle
People come in for various ailments and goals, and love the results and refreshed feeling they have when they leave. We can improve the imbalances in our body and mind quickly; but to create deep and lasting change cumulative sessions are important. We will find a good frequency for you that fits your schedule and your budget.
What To Expect
Our first consultation is designed to get to know you. We ask detailed questions about your daily routines, including your diet, digestion, sleep patterns, exercise/movement practices, and how you manage stress and pain. Once we get to know you, we address your concerns, track your progress, and provide a continuum of care. Our first visit is 75-90 minutes, and follow up visits are 50-60 minutes. When you schedule your first appointment, please fill out our online health intake. We will use that to guide us through our first and subsequent meetings. You will have acupuncture with each session, along with optional cupping, gua sha, moxa, or estim.
What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine testing is another way to assess a person's physiological strength & weaknesses and guide treatment. Our motto is "Test, Don't Guess!" Chinese medicine is an amazing tool and treatment for many problems that affect our quality of life. And today we are fortunate to have access to many things to improve our health, beyond having ideal nutrition, movement, sleep, and social support.
With Functional medicine we run a battery of tests at the beginning of treatment to see where a person needs support most. Testing can be done with a visit to a lab for a blood draw, or with home test kits. Home test kits are easy, hassle-free, safe, and backed by credible scientific studies over many decades. We test hormones, adrenals, the entire GI system, neurotransmitters and the brain, and toxins. We use DUTCH Complete hormone testing, the GIMAP comprehensive GI test, and the ORGANIX nutrition test. Typically, a functional medicine initial consult is one hour, and follow ups are 30 minutes.
