Expensive products rarely cross the skin barrier and foundations are hiding what’s already there. Why not book a microneedling session and get that naturally healthier brighter stronger skin?

Wellness is now a trendy term: Don’t get caught up in the hype.

For your consideration- what does wellness mean to you? What are you trying to achieve in your wellness journey? If it means identifying the root cause:

Question your providers: Are they offering a whole-body (root level) approach or just “Band-Aid” solutions?

True wellness treats the whole system: A rash needs more than just a steroid; consider gut function and lymphatic drainage.

Acupuncture, or Chinese Medicine, utilizes ancient wisdom to address the root cause of health issues, helping you achieve lasting wellness.

Crystal sound bath journey infused with vagus nerve stimulating auricular acupuncture:

🌟Enjoy this afternoon of self care. An opportunity to slow down, restore and rebalance with a blend of crystals singing bowls and the powerful and ancient practice of acupuncture.

🌟 Rachel will then guide you into deep rest with magic of the singing bowls. (Cystral singing bowls resonate a vibration frequencies that balance the calm side of our nervous system, to help induce feeling of calmness, relaxation and wellbeing

🌟We cannot wait to host you in the relaxation lounge with PEMF and infrared mats, and nourish your body with organic teas.

❄️ Winter is here, and with it comes the yin energy of the season. This is a time of introspection and rest, where we turn inward to recharge and rebuild our energy for the coming year. ❄️

At the modern acupuncturist and , we understand the importance of aligning our bodies with the natural rhythms of the seasons.

⛄️ During the winter months, we focus on treatments that support the kidneys and bladder, as these organs are associated with the water element and yin energy. By addressing imbalances in these areas, we can help our patients feel more grounded, centered, and at peace during the colder months.

⛄️Some of the benefits of acupuncture during the winter include improved immunity, reduced stress and anxiety, and increased energy levels.

⛄️By stimulating specific acupuncture points, we can help the body release toxins, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. This can lead to a stronger immune system, better sleep, and a greater sense of well-being overall.

🤎 If you're feeling run down, anxious, or just need a little boost this winter, we invite you to visit our clinic and experience the healing power of acupuncture, massage therapy or aesthetics - looking at you organic facial. Our team of experienced practitioners will work with you to create a customized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals. ❄️

Patient care is my number one priority. I feel unbelievably lucky I’ve found this medicine, and I feel the weight to represent it in the best possible light. Every person who I treat I want to feel listened to, cared for, and to feel a shift after every session. Healing can take time, it can be a journey, and while I have these very high expectations I know for some, that shift may not come for a few sessions in. Know that I’m your biggest advocate, I think about different treatment approaches and research different avenues to tap into the neurofunctional pathways to achieve healing from both a physiological perspective, and energetic. I will always be striving to be the best at what I do, not out of ego, but out of a drive to help you holistically in every possible way. Thank you for being here, for listening, and entrusting me with your care. ❤️
