Cupping, Ionic Foot Detox, Nutritional Counseling, Qi Gong/Taiji Relaxing Acupuncture Clinic offering affordable health care.

Acupuncture is a process so it is rare that a problem will be resolved in just one visit. I strive to make treatments affordable allowing patients to continue with care to get well and stay well. I treat general conditions such as pain syndromes, acute and chronic conditions. For those who are interested in 'speeding the process' I am certified in acupuncture injection therapy using vitamins, homeopathics and herbs. I also offer 10 week facial rejuvenation and weight loss packages that include an entire program. Acupuncture treatments provided in a comfortable and relaxing setting. In addition to acupuncture I also offer weekly Qigong (Chinese yoga) classes at the clinic. Call the clinic for times available. About the Practitioner

We are excited to welcome Alexis to the AIP family of practitioners!! She can be reached at 231-747-0047 for questions and appointments.

🌿 Hi friends, I’m Alexis!

I’m the owner and massage therapist behind Solstice Therapeutics, and I couldn’t be more excited to share this journey with you. Starting this practice has been a dream of mine, born out of a love for helping people feel more balanced, cared for, and at ease in their own bodies.

My approach combines medical massage techniques with therapeutic, relaxation-focused care; so whether you’re dealing with pain, tension, or just need a quiet moment to recharge, I aim to create a space that feels supportive and healing.

A little about me outside of massage: I grew up right here in West Michigan and love being close to the lakeshore. When I’m not in the massage room, you’ll probably find me reading, tending to my garden, cooking up something fresh in the kitchen, or getting lost on a nature trail. 🌸

Thank you so much for supporting me as I build this business, it means the world! I can’t wait to meet you, hear your stories, and help you feel your best. 💛

With gratitude,
Alexis
