Acupuncture


How We Can Help

Looking to find balance and restore your health? Acupuncture is the perfect modality to help your body find harmony among today’s hectic demands.  With the insertion of acupuncture needles at certain points, the body and nerves become stimulated, resulting in increased motor function, improved emotions, increased circulation and much more. Acupuncture works through stimulating the energy flow through the whole body with the end goal of finding Qi, one’s vital life force. Come in for an acupuncture treatment and feel you energy run free!

 

 


Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicinal technique that harnesses your body’s self-healing capabilities and natural bodily functions by stimulating specific points. Acupuncture promotes the flow of energy along meridians throughout the body, releasing “Qi” and balancing both yin and yang. When all these forces are balanced, the body is healthy. However, when these channels are blocked and out of balance, pain, lack of function or illness may occur. Through stimulating the body’s various systems, acupuncture can restore proper function and act as a form of preventative medicine for a healthier, happier future.

Psychotherapy


Psychotherapy

A psychotherapist is a trained mental health professional who specializes in providing therapeutic support and treatment for individuals experiencing psychological and emotional difficulties. They work closely with clients to help them understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and to develop healthier coping mechanisms and strategies for managing their challenges.

Psychotherapists employ various therapeutic approaches and techniques based on their training, experience, and the needs of their clients. They create a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients can openly express their concerns and explore their inner world. By establishing a strong therapeutic alliance, psychotherapists foster trust and encourage clients to delve into their experiences, beliefs, and past traumas.

One of the key roles of a psychotherapist is to listen actively and attentively to their clients. They seek to understand their clients’ perspectives and gain insights into their thought patterns and emotional responses. Through this empathetic understanding, psychotherapists help clients gain clarity about their challenges and develop alternative perspectives and solutions.

Psychotherapists use evidence-based interventions and treatment modalities to address a wide range of mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship problems, and more. They may utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, humanistic therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, or other specialized therapies depending on the client’s needs and the therapist’s expertise.

In addition to conducting individual therapy sessions, psychotherapists may also facilitate group therapy, family therapy, or couples therapy. They may collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as psychiatrists or social workers, to ensure comprehensive and integrated care for their clients.

Overall, a psychotherapist is a compassionate professional who supports individuals in their journey toward emotional healing, personal growth, and improved mental well-being. By providing guidance, validation, and evidence-based interventions, they empower their clients to make positive changes, enhance their self-awareness, and lead more fulfilling lives.

Cupping


How We Can Help

Need some flow in your life? Does your never ending “to do list” leave you feeling stressed, tired and yearning for some sweet relief? With the ultimate goal of enhancing circulation and reducing tension – cupping may be your saving grace! Through reducing stagnation, promoting blood flow and the release of toxins, Cupping can alleviate fatigue, decrease stress, pain and much more. Release that trapped energy and help your body reach it’s maximum potential, try Cupping today!


Cupping is a treatment whereby an object creates suction to the surface of a patient’s skin. The process ascends the blood to the superficial layer of the skin, which then promotes more blood flow to the deeper areas. Parts of the body that darken the most after treatment are in most need of additional attention. Indicative of more issues that a patient is dealing with, depth and darkness of the marks can emphasize certain meridians, giving us insight into a patient’s constitution.

Natural Pet Care Advice


How It Works

Animals were born to be wild, living in nature and eating foods from natural sources. Today, pets are inundated with environmental toxins, and fed food full of chemicals and fillers – ingredients that would not be part of a natural diet. Take the natural approach to your pet’s nourishment, supplementation and healing by harnessing the powers of holistic nutrition and herbs.


Since animals were created to live in nature, they respond exceptionally well to herbs and nutrients found in their natural habitat. By feeding pets the appropriate food and supplementing their diet with the correct herbs, it is possible to treat many ailments affecting your pet, from skin disorders, to emotional problems, and digestive disorders.


  • Balance glandular problems
  • Better digestion
  • Clearing skin issues
  • Decreased attitudinal problems (anxiety, aggression, etc.)
  • Encouraging longer life expectancies
  • Preventative Health
  • Resolving chronic infections
  • And much more!
