Acupuncture is a part of traditional East Asian medicine that is thousands of years old. Thin needles less than half of a millimeter thick are placed into the body to release endorphins and neurotransmitters, improve blood circulation, and take the body from a sympathetic state to a parasympathetic state. 

There are dozens of different kinds of acupuncture which pull from a wide variety of traditions across the world. I utilize a wide variety of methods, such as Master Tung’s points, Five Element acupuncture, Yin Yang theory, and Motor Entry Point (MEP) needling.

Herbalism is one of the oldest forms of medicine, with evidence showing that humans have been using plants as medicine as far back as 60,000 to 80,000 years ago! The oldest written evidence of medical plants being used to create drugs is on a Sumerian clay tablet almost 5,000 years ago. 

Thanks to modern research and science, we can understand how medical herbalism works on a molecular level. This allows professional herbalists to prescribe herbs that will work with your natural biome alongside any pharmaceuticals you may be taking

Cupping is a traditional technique that is used when cups are placed over the skin to create suction. The suction is either created with glass cups using small amounts of heat to remove the air inside or by using a pneumatic cup with a mechanical tool. 

Cupping has been practiced for generations in a variety of cultures all over the world including China, Eastern Europe, and Egypt. It’s primarily used to stimulate blood flow and relieve muscle tension, but it was also used in traditional medicine to promote healing, remove pathogens, and remove stasis in the body

Gua Sha is a traditional technique which involves scraping the skin with a smooth tool-edged tool to promote blood circulation, release muscle tension, and boost lymphatic drainage.
