Private Acupuncture Session
After the initial intake, pulse and tongue reading, relax peacefully on a massage table in a private treatment room while the needles are inserted and retained for 25-35 minutes. Other Traditional Chinese Medicine modalities may be included as applicable, such as gua-sha, cupping, or moxibustion. A full body acupuncture session is $70 and lasts around an hour.
Cupping
Cupping is the application of a small glass bowl to the skin using a vacuum suction. It decompresses the tissue, allowing fresh blood and lymph to flow to the area to promote healing. Cupping is included in a private acupuncture session as applicable. Click on the links below for examples of cupping.
Gua-Sha
Gua-Sha is the scraping of the skin, generally using an Asian soup spoon. Similar to cupping, it increases circulation, getting rid of the old stagnant blood and drawing in fresh blood to promote healing. Gua-Sha is included in a private acupuncture session as needed.

Herbal Consultation
Chinese herbs and acupuncture often go hand-in-hand in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Most herbs are derived from flowers, seeds, leaves, roots, barks, fruits and peels. Herbs can compliment the effects of an acupuncture treatment, continuing to promote the body to heal itself naturally. I offer herbs in granule form (which can be mixed with water to drink like a tea) and capsule (pill) form.
