**Services**

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is system of complementary medicine that involves pricking the skin or tissues with needles, used to alleviate pain and to treat various physical, mental, and emotional conditions. Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a complementary medicine based on the diagnosis and manipulative treatment of misalignments of the joints, especially those of the spinal column, which are held to cause other disorders by affecting the nerves, muscles, and organs. Customized Nutritional Coaching

As unique individuals, there is no such thing as a "one nutrition plan fits all". Learning the basics of nutrition and how your body works enables you to work out the exact right way YOU need to eat to achieve your health goals. Nutrition Response Testing℠

Nutrition Response TestingSM is a tool that helps us determine the underlying causes of ill or non-optimum health. And with this tool, we can determine the exact right supplements and doses your body needs to heal and repair. The body has an amazing ability to heal and repair itself if you give it what it needs to do its job. Pregnancy Care

We believe as mothers, our greatest gift is to give our children the best health right from the start. Beginning early on in pregnancy, parents have to make decisions that will affect their child forever. Our purpose is to support you on this journey, and to provide education and a wealth of resources including: Whole Food prenatal supplement programs, Acupuncture, Certified Webster Technique physicians (for the alleviation of back and joint pain due to pregnancy, and for optimal fetal positioning), and Certified Prenatal massage therapists. Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is manual manipulation of soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) to enhance a person's health and well-being. There are dozens of types of massage therapymethods (also called modalities). If you would like to schedule a consultation to find out how our services can help you

Help kids eat better with 3 simple tips! 🥦🍎💪

1️⃣ Serve protein & veggies first at meals — starches and processed foods can come later.
2️⃣ Keep healthy snacks visible and accessible: nuts, fruit, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, or clean protein bars.
3️⃣ Teach kids to read nutrition labels! Show them how to spot processed ingredients and check sugar content.
