Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine

A fundamental pillar of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture Therapy uses precisely placed needles along meridian pathways to produce therapeutic physiological responses in the body that can alleviate pain, promote healing, balance hormones, boost the immune system, regulate the nervous system, improve fertility, and provide overall emotional wellness. Acupuncture can be effective on its own or as a complementary treatment to conventional medicine.

A holistic approach to facial rejuvenation that works to harmonize the internal systems that enhance your outward vibrance. Combining therapeutic acupuncture with a series of very fine needles in the face, aesthetic acupuncture can reduce signs of aging and stress in the face and leave you feeling renewed mind, body, and soul.
*for prime results, recommended 2x/week for 5 weeks.

In conjunction with acupuncture, LED therapy is included in this treatment to do double duty on acne, fine lines, sagging skin, and more.

Esoteric acupuncture is an approach to acupuncture that blends ancient wisdom of sacred geometry, the chakras, and traditional Chinese medicine to harmonize mind, body, and spirit. It invites you to settle into a deep meditative state that will expand your level of consciousness and reveal your unique inner calling.

Gua Sha is an ancient Chinese healing tool that enlivens the skin by increasing blood flow, relaxing the muscles and underlying fascia, leaving the face feeling rejuvenated, refreshed, and glowing.

In this visit, we address facial concerns using both acupuncture and LED therapy to do double duty on acne, fine lines, sagging skin, and more. Due to the short nature of this visit, we only treat the face so it is recommended to book as a tune-up between regular Facial Rejuvenation or TCM Acupuncture sessions.

*Express Facial Acupuncture is a subsequent visit. Must have an initial appointment first

If this is your first visit, please book an Initial ‘Traditional Chinese Acupuncture’ appointment
In this appointment, we can address a recent injury or any muscle/joint pain, tension, and stiffness. Using a combination of localized acupoints, cupping, gua sha, electro-acupuncture, soft tissue work, and moxibustion, the aim is to speed up recovery time by breaking down scar tissue, releasing fascial restrictions, and improving circulation to promote healing.

This appointment is for patients who have already had their initial intake and are experiencing a flare up of a condition/complaint we were previously or are currently working on.

Craniosacral therapy is a very gentle hands-on therapy designed to completely relax and soothe your nervous system. Using a light touch to release the fascia (the connective tissue surrounding every part of your body), CST is designed to free up stuck energy, improve lymph and blood circulation and release tension. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, grounded and more connected to your inner self.

A combination of Craniosacral Therapy and Traditional Chinese Acupuncture

Cupping is an ancient Chinese healing practice that helps to release tension and pain in the muscles, restore the fascia and move stagnant lymph, blood and Qi (energy) in the body.

Using a vacuum-like suction, the cups gently draw the fascia and muscles upwards and then are either retained for a short duration or are glided along the body. It is especially suitable for any kind of musculoskeletal pain, inflammation, cellulite and colds/flus.

*Please note that cupping leaves painless bruise-like marks that can last anywhere from 3-7 days.

Chinese Medicine can be used to treat a wide range of childhood ailments from newborns to teens. Treatments are gentle and specifically tailored to each child’s needs. During this initial, appointment we will review your child’s health history, develop a treatment plan, and leave enough time for a treatment. For paediatric patients, we use a non-needle acupuncture technique, called Shonishin, in conjunction with herbal medicine, diet and lifestyle recommendations, and bodywork. With Paediatric Chinese Medicine we can address frequent illness, pain and injury, mental-emotional conditions, issues with sleep, digestive concerns, and much more.
