ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture has evolved over thousands of years as a component of traditional Chinese medicine. You don't need to have a physical condition to benefit from acupuncture. I consider your body as a whole intelligent system, and not just your symptoms. By insertion of very thin sterile needles at specific points, acupuncture stimulates the natural healing ability of the body through biochemical responses.
Many report a sense of deep renewal and relaxation following a treatment. Acupuncture can help to relieve chronic pain symptoms and promote recovery from surgery or injury, address mental and emotional stress conditions including depression, insomnia, and anxiety, hormonal imbalances, fertility outcomes, and safely support all phases of pregnancy including labor induction.
An acupuncture treatment may include fire cupping to loosen local fascia and to promote blood flow, improving circulation and cellular metabolism. Moxibustion therapy is sometimes used to improve cell enzyme activity by its thermal effect. It consists of burning dried mugwort leaf, non-directly, to stimulate acupuncture points on the body.
FACIAL REJUVENATION ACUPUNCTURE
Facial acupuncture is a gentle needling procedure with minimal side effects. It can target excess fluid retention, reduce jaw and forehead tension, address overall complexion, and boost collagen and elastin production. Included is an optional gua sha facial massage using organic cold-pressed rosehip oil and finished with a gentle fragrance-free PH balancing toner.
LABOR INDUCTION ACUPUNCTURE (Birth Preparation Cervical Ripening)
Labor induction acupuncture begins at week 36 or week 37 of pregnancy with 1-2 sessions per week until labor. Labor induction acupuncture, also known as cervical ripening, refers to a series of gentle treatments to assist in the softening of the cervix necessary for cervical dilation and the passage of the fetus that typically begins prior to the onset of labor contractions.
IVF SUPPORT
In vitro fertilization (IVF) can be emotionally and physically strenuous. Regular acupuncture treatments before egg retrieval and during the transfer process can help to lower stress hormones to benefit the IVF outcome. Following an initial appointment, we will work together to create a treatment plan up until and 1 week after the embryo transfer.

Although most of us are aware of the benefits of enjoying nutritious foods, the range of conflicting information available can be confusing. Each individual is unique, and there is no one size fits all. We will work together to identify and correct nutritional causes of symptoms or disease and imbalances.
The initial consultation includes an in-depth analysis discussing your physical symptoms, diet, and lifestyle. During the follow-up appointment, we review together specialized suggestions in regards to your goals. You will have recipe ideas and self-inquiry exercises to track your success as we integrate principles of Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine.
