Our approach acknowledges the intricate connection between physical symptoms and emotional well-being, creating a safe space for deep healing.

Acupuncture for Sexual Trauma & PTSD Support:
Beyond the pelvic floor, acupuncture can be incredibly effective in calming the nervous system, reducing anxiety, improving sleep and amelioriating symptoms of PTSD. We offer a holistic approach to help you process trauma, build resilience, and restore a sense of calm and safety in the body and mind.

Embracing Change :
Eastern medicine seeks to address imbalances through each phase of the menstrual cycle, including the periods of our lives when we stop menstruating. We aim to address not just the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, but to embrace the change and ease the journey.

Pelvic Floor Acupuncture
Reclaiming our sacred spaces
Pelvic floor acupuncture focuses on the muscles, tendons and other structures surrounding the pelvic floor. This modality provides localized relief and can address such conditions as pelvic pain, vaginal dryness, chronic constipation and postpartum recovery. Please feel free to utilize the complimentary 15 minute phone consultation to see if this modality is right for you.
Craniosacral Therapy
Cerebrospinal fluid circulation
Craniosacral therapy focuses on structures and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) which surround the brain and spinal cord. Subtle movements help improve CSF circulation which can improve chronic headaches, reduce spinal tension and help process trauma.
Acupuncture
Needle Therapy
Acupuncture works by stimulating the immune system. When an acupuncture needle is inserted into the skin, it triggers a site specific immune response to occur. Immune cells respond in the body in order to improve blood flow and reduce muscle tension. This modality is ideal for addressing chronic pain, soft tissue injuries and relaxing the central nervous system.
​
Electro-acupuncture, also known as "e-stim acupuncture" can assist with chronic nerve pain, such as sciatica, by the use of combining regular acupuncture with electrical stimulation.
Myofacial Release
Gently release fascial restrictions
Myofascial release therapy is a gentle modality that relieves tension and pain by alleviating fascial restrictions. Fascia is a connective tissue that is found in, around and between the majority of structures in our bodies. These structures include: the muscles, bones and organs. Alleviating fascial restrictions can allow you to move more freely and reduce overall body pain.
​
​
Nutrition
Overall nourishment
Access individualized nutritional coaching and meal plans in order to promote overall wellbeing. Whether you have dietary restrictions, want to lose weight, or just want to eat a more healthy, well balanced diet; this modality can be used daily to improve overall lifestyle choices.
Cupping Therapy
Myofascial decompression
Cupping therapy involves placing cups on the skin to create suction, promoting blood flow, reducing inflammation and aiding in relaxation. Cupping alleviates muscle tension and improves overall circulation.
