Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body. It is believed to stimulate the flow of energy (Qi) and restore balance within the body. The benefits of acupuncture include pain relief, reduction of inflammation, stress reduction, improved sleep, and enhanced overall well-being. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as chronic pain, migraines, anxiety, insomnia, and digestive disorders.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbs are natural substances used in TCM practices to restore balance and promote health. They are believed to offer benefits such as enhanced vitality, immune support, stress reduction, pain relief, and hormonal balance. TCM herbs are used in personalized treatment plans based on individual needs. They can support digestion, address emotional imbalances, and possess anti-inflammatory properties.

An infrared sauna is a type of sauna that uses infrared heaters to emit infrared light experienced as radiant heat which is absorbed by the surface of the skin. Traditional saunas heat the air around you, while infrared saunas penetrate deeper into the skin, resulting in a more intense sweat at a lower temperature.

Here's a breakdown of how an infrared sauna typically works:

1. Infrared heaters: These heaters emit infrared light, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation that's beyond the visible spectrum but can be felt as heat. Infrared saunas usually contain several of these heaters placed strategically around the sauna to evenly distribute the heat.

2.Penetration of heat: Unlike traditional saunas, where the air is heated first and then indirectly heats the body, infrared saunas emit infrared light directly onto the body, penetrating the skin more deeply. This can result in a more intense sweat at lower temperatures, typically around 120°F to 140°F (50°C to 60°C).

3. Health benefits: Proponents of infrared saunas claim various health benefits, including improved circulation, relaxation, detoxification, and even weight loss. However, scientific evidence supporting these claims is still somewhat limited and ongoing.

Safety considerations: While infrared saunas are generally considered safe for most people, it's essential to follow guidelines regarding duration and temperature to avoid dehydration and overheating. Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as cardiovascular problems or pregnancy, should consult a healthcare professional before using an infrared sauna.

Integrated acupuncture sessions are grounded, hands-on treatments that combine acupuncture with somatic awareness, palpation, and supportive touch. These sessions are guided by how your body presents in the moment, not by a preset formula.
Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, this work listens for patterns across the nervous system, muscles, connective tissue, and internal systems. Touch and palpation are used as primary tools for gathering information and supporting change, allowing the body to shift in ways that feel sustainable and integrated.
Sessions may include acupuncture, acupressure, gentle hands-on techniques, and periods of stillness. The pace is slow and responsive, creating space for the body to soften long-held tension, reorganize protective patterns, and settle into greater regulation.
This approach can be supportive for:
• Pain and tension patterns
• Stress, anxiety, and nervous system overwhelm
• Fatigue or burnout
• Digestive or hormonal concerns
• Emotional holding connected to physical symptoms
• Times of transition or recovery
Each session is collaborative and adaptive. There is no expectation to perform, explain, or push through discomfort. We follow what your body is ready for, allowing change to unfold through awareness, touch, and time.

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on treatment that supports the nervous system and the body’s natural capacity to regulate and restore balance. Using light touch, the practitioner works with subtle rhythms and restrictions throughout the body; particularly around the head, spine, and sacrum. This work can help release deep patterns of tension, settle an overactive stress response, and support a sense of safety and ease in the body. Sessions are quiet and slow, allowing the system time to soften rather than push or force change. Craniosacral therapy may be supportive for those experiencing stress, overwhelm, headaches, jaw or neck tension, fatigue, sleep difficulties, or feeling “stuck” in their body despite other approaches. Sessions are clothed and focused on listening to the body, meeting it where it is, and supporting gradual, sustainable shifts.
