Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient practice that harnesses the innate healing abilities of our own body. Thin needles are inserted to specific points on the body to stimulate and balance the flow of energy, or qi, and promote healing. According to traditional Chinese medicine underlying all dis - ease are imbalance and obstructioins to the flow of vital energy. Energetic dysfunction can lead to physical symptoms mental health problems or emotional distress. Acupuncture can correct these imbalance bringing harmony to the body.
Clinical research consistently demonstrates its efficacy for a wide range of ailments. Acupuncture has been proven to improve chronic pain, stress, symptoms of burnout, insomnia, digestive problems, menstruation irregularities, and fertility. Most patients experience a deep relaxation during a session and leave with a restorative sense of calm.

Cosmetic Acupuncture
Cosmetic Acupuncture is a great alternative for individuals who want a holistic approach to looking younger while improving their overall health. It is safe, natural and effective alternative to Botox or plastic surgery with less risk, less expense and without the post-treatment downtime.
What it it?
Your internal state of health is reflected on your face. Cosmetic Acupuncture is a dual treatment – it is a regular acupuncture plus facial rejuvenation session. Body points as well as facial points are used to support the whole system, reduce stress and promote well-being. If you feel good on the inside, you will look better on the outside!
From a western perspective, the insertion of tiny intra-dermal needles within wrinkles and fine lines create micro trauma that stimulates elastin and collagen production. Facial acupuncture treatments also increase blood circulation to the face bringing with it nutrients and a youthful glow. Simultaneously, we are opening lymphatic drainage pathways in the face to reduce stagnation and puffiness.
What does a session look like?
Every cosmetic session begins with dynamic cupping on the back and shoulders. This is foundational. A fascial plane extends from the back through the scalp and can express as excess muscle tension in the face resulting in premature lines and wrinkles. We continue with facial fascial massage to further reduce muscular tension and open up lymphatic drainage pathways. After this, we use acupoints on the body and the face.
You will notice benefits after 1 treatment. For long term changes a course of 8-12 treatments is recommended.
