Beauty that radiates from within ✨ isn't just a philosophy - it's the foundation of 's approach to skincare: ⬇️

In a world filled with quick fixes and synthetic solutions, we offer something different: and that work with your body's natural healing wisdom to create lasting, authentic beauty.

Our microneedling and facial acupuncture treatments don't just improve what you see in the mirror - they support the foundational health that creates genuinely glowing skin:

✨ Enhanced Collagen Response: Both treatments stimulate collagen production through different pathways, creating a synergistic effect that significantly boosts your skin's regenerative capacity.

🌿 Holistic Healing: While microneedling works on the skin's surface structure, acupuncture addresses the underlying imbalances that contribute to skin aging and dysfunction.

🎯 Customized Treatment: Every session is tailored to your unique constitution and skin concerns, following TCM diagnostic principles combined with modern skincare science.

💫 Cumulative Benefits: Regular treatments create lasting improvements in skin health, tone, and resilience, not just temporary enhancement.

Fall = the Metal Element in 🍂 What does that mean? ⬇️

As summer's expansive energy gives way to autumn's golden embrace, teaches us that this isn't just a seasonal shift—it's a powerful opportunity for renewal and release.

✨ Fall is governed by the METAL ELEMENT:
• Qualities: Clarity, refinement, letting go
• Energy direction: Downward & inward
• Primary organs: Lungs & Large Intestine
• Emotion: Grief (the healthy kind that helps us process)

Just like trees naturally shed their leaves, our bodies are designed to release what no longer serves us: physically, emotionally, AND spiritually.

The Metal element teaches us that true strength comes from knowing when to hold on and when to let go.

Are you feeling autumn's call to turn inward and reflect? That's your Metal element speaking!

Suffering from hip, low back, or buttock pain? It might be your gluteus medius! This key muscle helps stabilize your hip and pelvis—but overuse, injury, or trigger points can cause pain that radiates to your back, thigh, or even knee.

Acupuncture and dry needling target trigger points in the gluteus medius, releasing tension, improving circulation, and stimulating your body’s natural pain-relieving response. Studies show these techniques offer effective relief for low back pain and improve quality of life, especially for athletes, runners, and anyone who sits for long periods.

Ready to move without pain? Consider acupuncture as a natural, effective way to address gluteus medius pain and get back to doing what you love! Learn more & reserve your appointment with Jeanne via bio link! ⭕️ Empirical Point Acupuncture

Emotions ARE Energy In Motion ⚡️ When emotional energy gets stuck - often due to stress, trauma, or daily overwhelm - it can create loops of anxiety, anger, or sadness, even when there’s no clear trigger. In acupuncture, we see this as blockages in the body’s energy pathways, or meridians. By gently releasing these blockages, we help emotions flow freely again, restoring balance to both body and mind.

If you’ve been feeling "stuck" emotionally, remember: emotional release isn’t just healthy, it’s essential for TRUE well-being. Let’s get your energy moving!

Looking for a natural way to refresh your complexion and smooth fine lines? Facial acupuncture is an ancient practice now embraced by modern skincare routines. Using ultra-fine needles, this treatment stimulates specific points on the face and neck, boosting local blood flow and encouraging your skin’s natural healing process.

Beyond just appearance, facial acupuncture helps increase hydration, elasticity, and collagen production, leading to firmer, more radiant skin. The treatment is gentle. Most people describe it as a subtle sensation rather than pain, and is tailored to each individual’s needs. Plus, it supports your skin’s resilience against environmental aging factors.

Session options include facial rejuvenation acupuncture and microneedling. Learn more and reserve your appointment via bio link ⭕️ Empirical Point Acupuncture
