We commonly treat sports-related pain, acute sprains and strains, chronic joint pain, and muscular tightness.

Our goals are simple:
If you’re injured → get you back to the sport you love as quickly as possible
If you’re not injured → help you perform better by removing muscular inhibition and soft tissue adhesions

We use a combination of:
✔️ Acupuncture techniques (dry needling/trigger point, motor point, electro-acupuncture)
✔️ Soft tissue work (cupping, gua sha/Graston)
✔️ Topical herbal formulas
✔️ Targeted exercises and stretching when needed

Not every condition requires every therapy, but having these tools allows us to choose the best path for you.

A recent patient came in with consistent pain and tightness in her shoulders and neck.

She connected it to a car accident years ago and noticed that stress makes it worse.

She described her posture as “guarded” since the accident and said she struggles to let her shoulders relax unless she is actively thinking about it.

Her treatment plan included:
✨ Dry needling to release trigger points in the shoulders and neck
✨ Acupuncture to calm the nervous system, bring blood flow to the tissue, and move Liver Qi
✨ Herbal medicine with one formula for immediate pain and circulation and another to support the stress response and prevent tension from building back up
✨ Home care with stretches, exercises, and mindfulness techniques to help the nervous system create healthier patterns

We will follow up in a week to check in and adjust the treatment as needed. Healing is not only about loosening tight muscles. It is also about helping the body and nervous system shift into a state where lasting change is possible. ❤️

If you’re lying awake in bed for more than 20 minutes… get up.

It might sound counterintuitive, but staying in bed while your brain spirals can actually train your body to associate your bed with *stress*, not sleep.

This is known as the 20-minute rule and it’s one of the most effective behavioral shifts for improving sleep.

Here’s what to do:

🕯️ Get up

📖 Move to a dimly lit room

📚 Do something quiet and screen-free (read, journal, breathe)

😴 Return to bed *only* when you feel sleepy again

If you have trouble sleeping, book a session and give your nervous system a real chance to unwind, not just at bedtime, but all day long. We can add sleep-promoting herbal formulas to your bed-time routine as well to make sure you get a good night’s sleep. ✨

From period pain to burnout, herbal medicine helps support resilience, energy, and hormone regulation. Your symptoms are signals, and herbs can help bring your body back to balance.

Book your session and we’ll create a custom protocol that meets your body’s current needs!

If your hip flexors always feel tight, no matter how much you stretch, it might not be just your muscles.

Stress, posture, and hormones all impact the psoas, one of your body’s key “fight-or-flight” muscles. For women especially, anterior pelvic tilt and deep core tension can be a sign of nervous system dysregulation, not just physical strain.

That’s where we would recommend dry needling, acupuncture, and cupping.

These tools help your body release held tension from the inside out.

You cut screen time. You sip sleepytime tea. You try to wind down… and you’re still waking up exhausted.

Sometimes, poor sleep isn’t about what you’re doing at bedtime, it’s about what your nervous system’s been holding onto all day.

Here’s what we recommend:

✅ Morning sunlight within 30-60 minutes of waking

✅ No caffeine 8-10 hours before bed

✅ Cool, dark, and quiet sleep environment

✅ Try the 20-minute rule: can’t sleep? Get up and reset

✅ And most importantly-regulate your stress response

Acupuncture calms your system at the root, so your body isn’t wired when it’s supposed to rest. ✨
