ACupuncture

Acupuncture is a cornerstone of Chinese medicine that has been practiced for thousands of years to restore balance and promote healing. It involves the gentle insertion of fine, sterile needles at specific points along the body’s meridians—pathways of energy known as Qi. By stimulating these points, acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system, improve circulation, release endorphins, and encourage the body’s innate ability to heal itself.

How It Works
Modern research shows that acupuncture influences the brain and body by reducing inflammation, regulating hormones, calming the stress response, and improving blood flow. It is commonly used to address pain, stress, digestive health, sleep disturbances, reproductive wellness, and overall vitality.

What to Expect
Before your first session, we’ll discuss your health history, current concerns, and wellness goals. During treatment, you’ll relax in a quiet, calming environment while the needles are gently placed—most patients find the experience deeply restful, with many drifting into a “healing nap.” Afterward, you may feel a sense of calm, improved energy, or lightness in your body. Some people notice changes immediately, while others experience gradual improvements over a series of treatments.

After Your Appointment
Following your session, we recommend staying hydrated, eating balanced meals, and allowing yourself time to rest if possible. You may feel energized, relaxed, or even need extra sleep as your body rebalances. Acupuncture works cumulatively, so regular sessions often provide the most profound and lasting results
