Acupuncture + Moxa
Acupuncture for all aspects of health and wellbeing including stress relief, immune system health, sleep, women’s health, fertility, pain relief, and more.
Orthopedic acupuncture focuses on injury and pain and incorporates modern understandings of anatomy and physiology to promote tissue repair and enhance performance. Orthopedic acupuncture uses techniques like trigger point needling, “dry needling,” and electrical stimulation (E-STIM) to repair injury and alleviate pain and dysfunction.
Facial acupuncture helps relieve facial tension and promotes collagen and elastin production for healthier skin. Facial/ cosmetic acupuncture can improve complexion and skin tone as well as reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and soften deeper lines.
Moxibustion (moxa) is a form of heat therapy that can be applied with acupuncture when appropriate to enhance the effects of acupuncture treatments.

Cupping, Gua Sha, and Tui Na
Cupping, Gua Sha, and Tui Na are types of manual therapy that aid in pain relief for musculoskeletal conditions, increase blood flow to areas to allow for accelerated tissue repair, and enhance immune system function. They can all be part of acupuncture treatments to enhance the effects of treatment.
Cupping is a technique that creates a negative pressure in order to decompress tissues, increase blood-flow and lymphatic drainage and relieve tension.
Gua Sha utilizes tools with a blunt edge to apply strokes of varying pressure to tissues depending on the area treated and the goals of treatment. It can be utilized in cosmetic acupuncture as well as orthopedic acupuncture and for the purpose of immune and general health.
Tui Na is a specialized form of Chinese Medicine massage used to mobilize tissue and enhance the flow of qi and blood throughout the body.

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Appointments Types + Rates
NOTE: Sliding scale available for acupuncture appointments
Acupuncture Appointments
Initial appointment: $185
appt time: 90 minutes
(initial appointments are longer to allow time for a thorough intake of health goals, health history and initial assessment. We take this time to cover your health history in-depth, go over treatment options, answer any questions you have, and get on the same page about your health and wellness goals.)
Subsequent appointments: $125
appt time: 60 minutes
Acupuncture appointments can also include orthopedic acupuncture, “dry needling,” cupping, gua sha, and herbal and nutrition consultations depending on your needs to help you meet your health and wellbeing goals.
In my acupuncture practice, I’ve worked with people to deeply address:
- stress relief, immune system health, and sleep
- women’s health, cycle regularity, fertility and postpartum care
- injury and pain relief
- emotional balance such as improvements in depression and anxiety
- addiction and recovery support
- fatigue and energy levels
- and more
Traditional Chinese Medicine gives us tools to work on deep levels through treating both what we refer to as the root (underlying cause) and the branch (the symptoms), so there’s opportunity to deeply resolve the imbalances that lead to the symptoms you experience.
Feel free to ask me any questions you have about acupuncture for your specific health goals.
Facial Acupuncture
$185 (packages available, inquire for details)
appt time: 90 min
We tend to hold tension as well as layers of the impact of our experiences in our face. Facial acupuncture can help you release this holding as well as create enhanced blood flow, improve skin health, and promote elastin and collagen production, while contributing to greater general health and balance. Facial/ cosmetic acupuncture can improve complexion and skin tone as well as reduce the appearance of fine lines and soften deeper lines.
Facial acupuncture treatments also include a facial gua sha massage as well as acupuncture for overall balance. Whole body-mind health is a key factor in healthier skin and complexion. For best results, herbal, nutrition and lifestyle factors can be addressed in these sessions as well.
Herbal Consultation Only:*
Initial appt: $125 (60 minutes)
Follow-up appointments: $65 (30 minutes)
Comprehensive health and wellbeing review with a treatment plan based on Chinese herbal recommendations, as well as nutrition and lifestyle suggestions, as appropriate.

Cupping Only:*
