Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a safe and effective healing modality that has been practiced for thousands of years. Originating from traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture involves the insertion of thin stainless steel needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow and promote balance within the body. Acupuncture points are connected by meridians (energetic pathways) through which Qi flows throughout the body. These meridians transport qi and blood to the cells, tissues, and organs. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, the body’s natural inclination to re-balance is triggered. The immune system, the autonomic nervous system, respiratory, lymphatic, among many more systems in the body are stimulated during acupuncture. Studies reveal that clients with a myriad of complaints respond well, with positive results. Many seek treatment for symptoms that Western medicine cannot explain or diagnose. While diet, lifestyle, apd rest play a huge part in wellness, many find that receiving acupuncture alone can help with issues that limit their well-being.
How does it work?
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body, known as acupoints, which correspond to different organs and systems within the body. By inserting needles into these acupoints, acupuncturists can help to regulate the flow of Qi (pronounced "chee"), or vital energy, throughout the body. Acupuncture releases endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, to provide pain relief and improve circulation and blood flow; it reduces inflammation and promotes healing, and regulates the nervous system to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine are systems of medicine that prod the body to remember to return to homeostasis (the ability to heal itself).

Microneedling
Unlock your Skin's Radiance--Microneedling for Facial Rejuvenation, The Natural Way
Where ancient wisdom and body-balancing meets modern skincare innovation. My microneedling treatments are designed not only to repair and rejuvenate your skin, but also to align with, balance, and harmonize the body's natural energy systems, inspired by the principles of acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of fine needles to create tiny punctures, or “channels” in the skin’s surface. Just like other methods in the system of acupuncture, these ‘micro-injuries’ stimulate the body's natural healing and immune responses, leading to increased collagen and elastin production (renewing the natural elasticity, glow and ‘plump’ of the skin); stimulating and harmonizing free flow of qi (life force), blood, and fluids… all in keeping with the aim of acupuncture in general: FREE FLOW! The serums I use are based on Chinese medicine herbal formulas, Apple Stem cells, and other organic, natural formulas that are easily absorbed through the process of microneedling.

My Approach
I take a holistic approach to rejuvenative skin and health care, recognizing that the health, vitality, and harmonization of the skin and scalp is deeply connected to your body's energy systems. Microneedling is not just about surface rejuvenation; it's about harmonizing your skin with your body's internal balance. Depending on how each client presents, I can incorporate body acupuncture, facial acupuncture, suggestions and recommendations for lifestyle and diet support. Microneedling is also a great way to unwind scar tissue, from acne scars on the face, to body scars that cause pulling or pain, Microneedlng can easily be done alongside a more typical acupuncture treatment. See the pricing page for more details!
Incorporating the principles of acupuncture into microneedling treatments, I target specific facial acupuncture points and meridians to enhance the flow of Qi to your skin. By aligning the micro-needling process with these energy pathways, we optimize the effectiveness of the treatment, promoting EXTERNAL RADIANCE and INTERNAL HARMONY.
