Our Services
Acupuncture
Experience AcuLand with our acupuncture therapy. You will experience relaxation, pain relief, immune support, and long-term healing benefits with this ancient therapy. You will receive 2 rounds of acupuncture on our infrared Gem’s Mat heated tables, with relaxing music with Lara.
Acupuncture and Cupping Therapy
Experience the benefits of acupuncture and the feeling of AcuLand followed by Cupping therapy. Cupping therapy is used mainly for musculoskeletal issues. It provides pain relief, loosens muscles and breaks up facia. It feels like a massage in reverse and “sucks” out all the tension. Cups can be adjusted throughout for the patients comfort and needs. We use fire cupping in our clinic for this purpose.
Acupuncture and Therapeutic Bodywork
Our signature acupuncture treatment - You will not only experience major relaxation and pain relief, this treatment will have you feeling revived and new!
Includes the four steps of treatment. Wellness intake, 2 acupuncture check-ins followed by Therapeutic massage from Lara. Brief cupping is included if applicable for no extra charge
Cupping
Volunteering to get poked with needles brings up fear for some people, so cupping can be a great way to experience Chinese medicine and work up the guts to get some acupuncture. It is a painless modality that feels more like a massage in reverse! Patients report a feeling of ease and fluidity with their range of motion.
Cupping gently breaks up any adhesions that are formed in the muscle and skin layer due to overuse or underuse of muscles. Perfect for musculoskeletal pain, headaches from neck and shoulder tension, low back pain, stubborn coughs, avoiding a budding cold, and aiding in detoxification.
Sculpt and Slim Facial Cupping + Gua Sha
Originally called Gua Sha this ancient Chinese technique is also known as "scraping" or "graston." Gua Sha utilizes a ceramic spoon or jade gua sha tool. Similar to cupping, this modality is generally used to release muscle tension and pain, encourage lymphatic drainage, and promote circulation. Gua Sha can be done gently on the face to reduce puffiness, smooth wrinkles, and encourage circulation. If used a little more vigorously on the muscles and connective tissue it will also encourage circulation as well as break up scar tissue and facia. It is most commonly used for painful areas on the body that need more than massage or muscle release from acupuncture.
Facial Cupping is a wonderful modality to increase circulation and stimulate the lymph system in the neck and face reducing puffiness and fluid retention.
Try this therapy when you are feeling puffy and stuck and it shows on your face.

Microneedling
Microneedling is a non-invasive procedure where the practitioner uses a small pen-like device that makes tiny holes on the surface of the skin that stimulate collagen and elastin to regrow thereby resurfacing the skin in one treatment. Leaving your skin feeling like new, because it is!

Women’s Health Therapy
All of our therapies are effective for Women’s health in a way. When we say women's health, we are referring to all things hormones, mothering, tracking your cycle, recovering from birth trauma, etc.
Acupuncture quickly addresses the nervous system so if you are dealing with prorogued stress, lots of little “t” traumas accumulating, or big life changes, acupuncture provides a wonderful reset.
Massage - You can enjoy a therapeutic massage for relaxation and pain, or you can dive deeper with our Women’s Health Expert, Katie. She provides a unique and effective blend of Maya Abdominal Therapy, Holistic Pelvic Care, and Women’s Health Coaching. She holds an empathetic space for you to navigate hormone changes and trauma.
Cupping - Another wonderful therapy for encouraging detox, moving lymph fluid, and relieving pain. All of these outcomes of cupping set us up for success with our hormones.
Women’s Health Coaching - If you don’t want acupuncture or bodywork but are excited to start on your journey to better health with a focus on hormones, book this appointment.
Functional Nutrition Coaching - If you know you haven’t eaten well and know it is connected to your cycle. This is a great place to start.
