About Acipuncture Services
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to promote healing and balance. It is based on the concept of energy flow, or Qi, within the body. By stimulating these acupuncture points, the therapy aims to restore the natural balance and flow of energy, thereby alleviating pain, reducing stress, and enhancing overall health and well-being.
Our acupuncture services are performed by highly trained and licensed acupuncturists who personalize each session to address your unique health concerns. Whether you are seeking relief from chronic pain, stress reduction, or support for various health conditions, our acupuncture treatments can help you achieve optimal health and vitality.
I find joy by doing almost any outdoor activity, including hiking, running, and exploring with our furbabies. I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I also strive to live mindfully and intentionally by creating uplifting routines and relaxing rituals.
