  • What is TCM Acupunture

    TCM acupuncture involves the insertion of ultra-fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to regulate Qi (life force energy), support the flow of blood, and restore the body’s natural balance.

    Acupuncture

  • What to Expect

    Sessions begin with an in depth conversation about your health and treatment goals. I may examine your tongue, feel your pulse, and ask questions about sleep, digestion, stress, or energy.

    The treatment itself is gentle and relaxing—many clients feel deeply rested, calm, or subtly energized afterwards.
