What makes us different? We see the whole you. In a healthcare system that often treats symptoms in isolation, we take a different approach. You have a unique story and we take the time to truly listen and understand that story. Our approach has helped many patients find relief when Western Medicine may not have.

We are here to support you.

Meet Spleen 6, or Sanyinjiao as it's known in Chinese. We also lovingly call this point "three yin crossing."

Why the name? Because it sits right at the crossing point of three major meridians: the liver, spleen, and kidney. This strategic meeting place is what gives it such incredible power to influence multiple aspects of the body at once, making it a staple for our providers.

This beautiful point helps to nourish yin, support healthy digestion, and calm the mind all at the same time.
The body is clear and knowledgable that when we give it the right support, it knows exactly what to do!

Have you experienced Spleen 6 on our treatment table? If you haven't yet, we'd love to welcome you into our clinic so you can feel the magic of this point firsthand. Come see us!

We're excited to offer Celluma light therapy as an add-on to your acupuncture treatment!

This LED light therapy device based on NASA-developed technology uses therapeutic light energy to help your body heal naturally from within. Celluma delivers blue, red, and near-infrared light wavelengths that give your cells the energy boost they need to repair and regenerate.

Celluma helps reduce inflammation and pain, speeds up tissue repair, and boosts collagen production. It can also help with hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and acne.

This gentle, non-invasive therapy requires no downtime and is safe for all skin types and ages. With decades of clinical research backing its effectiveness and an FDA clearance, it’s an excellent addition to acupuncture.

Let us know if you’d like to add a Celluma treatment onto your next session!
