Acupuncture + Chinese Medicine

Acupuncture is a central practice within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a systems-based approach that understands the body as an interconnected whole. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, acupuncture works to support balance across physical, emotional, and physiological systems.

Treatment involves the gentle stimulation of specific points along the body’s meridians—pathways that influence circulation, nerve signaling, and the body’s regulatory processes. In TCM, these pathways are associated with the flow of qi (pronounced “chee”), often described as the body’s vital energy. When this flow is supported, the body is better able to regulate, repair, and respond to stress.

In addition to hair-thin needles, treatment may include complementary techniques such as cupping, tui na (therapeutic manual work), moxibustion (gentle heat therapy), herbal recommendations, and dietary or lifestyle guidance, depending on your individual needs.

ACUPUNCTURE + FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

This integrative session combines the regulatory support of acupuncture with the investigative lens of Functional Medicine—offering both immediate ease and long-term insight. Acupuncture works to release holding patterns and restore the body’s natural flow, while Functional Medicine looks at deeper systems and root causes, connecting symptoms to larger patterns of imbalance.

Your visit includes a comprehensive intake and acupuncture treatment, along with individualized guidance on next steps—whether through lab testing, dietary shifts, herbal support, or lifestyle changes. Together, these two frameworks offer a powerful path back to vitality. Functional Medicine-only treatment is also available, learn more.

ACU-LIFT (COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE)

Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as facial acupuncture, is a holistic approach to skin health and radiance. Like traditional acupuncture, it works by inserting ultra-fine, sterilized needles into specific points on the face and body to enhance the production of collagen, increase blood flow, stimulate immune responses that reduce inflammation, and activate any number of functional points that have various responses, like reducing jaw tension or relieving anxiety.

During your Acu-Lift session, you’ll receive a full facial acupuncture treatment tailored to your skin’s needs, alongside supportive body points to encourage overall balance. The experience is deeply calming and revitalizing. In addition to acupuncture, your session includes Celluma infrared LED light therapy to help reduce inflammation and boost cellular repair, as well as microcurrent stimulation—a low-level electrical treatment that helps tone facial muscles, lift the skin, and enhance radiance. Expect to leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and visibly renewed.

CUPPING

Cupping therapy is a time-honored technique used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to promote circulation, release muscular tension, and support the body’s natural detoxification process. In this practice, special glass cups are applied to the skin using fire cupping, where a brief flame creates suction that gently pulls the skin upward.

Depending on your needs, your practitioner may use moving cupping (gliding the cups over the skin with oil to ease muscular tightness) or static cupping (leaving the cups in place to draw out stagnation in a specific area). Both methods encourage blood flow, reduce inflammation, and promote deep relaxation.

Cupping can be added to an acupuncture session or booked as a stand-alone treatment.

30 minutes / $85

Mild circular marks may appear post-treatment—these are normal, temporary signs of stagnation being released and typically fade within a few days. Staying hydrated and avoiding intense exertion afterward can help support your body’s recovery.

We advise speaking to a medical doctor if you have questions about your suitability for Cupping.
