Acupuncture is a powerful tool for soothing and supporting the nervous system—helping the body shift out of stress and into a state of rest, repair, and balance. By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture can regulate the autonomic nervous system, calm overactive stress responses, and promote the release of neurotransmitters like serotonin and endorphins.

This makes it especially helpful for teens and adults experiencing anxiety, sensory overwhelm, sleep disturbances, or chronic tension. Over time, regular treatments can help rewire patterns of dysregulation and support a deeper sense of calm, resilience, and overall wellbeing.

Caring for the nervous system is essential because it’s the foundation of how we experience, process, and respond to the world. When the nervous system is out of balance—whether due to chronic stress, trauma, sensory overload, or lack of restorative rest—it can affect everything from sleep and digestion to mood, immunity, and focus. For both kids and adults, a dysregulated nervous system can show up as anxiety, irritability, fatigue, behavioral challenges, or physical symptoms like pain and tension.

Supporting the nervous system through practices like acupuncture helps the body return to its natural rhythm of regulation—moving from survival mode into a state of healing, growth, and connection.

From your first period to your last, acupuncture offers a safe, effective, and time-tested way to ease hormonal fluctuations and the discomfort they can bring. When combined with customized herbal support, it becomes a powerful tool for addressing the root causes of hormonal imbalance—not just the symptoms. Over time, this approach can help regulate cycles, reduce mood swings, cramps, and fatigue, and create more ease throughout each phase of your cycle. Your period shouldn’t feel like a monthly disruption—it should be something your body moves through with balance and resilience.

If you struggle with PMS or PMDD, regular acupuncture can be a true game changer. It helps reduce the intensity of mood swings, energy crashes, and physical discomfort by supporting hormonal balance and calming the nervous system. With the added support of customized herbal medicine, this holistic approach can ease pain, improve emotional resilience, and help you feel more like yourself again.

Acupuncture is a safe and effective way to ease many of the common discomforts of pregnancy, support emotional well-being, and help prepare the body for labor and birth. In the postpartum period, it can be a powerful tool for recovery—supporting hormone regulation, easing mental and emotional stress, and addressing lactation challenges with compassion and care.

As we age, the experiences and emotions we carry can become deeply imprinted on our faces, leading to fascial adhesions that may impact both our physical and mental well-being. Facial acupuncture works to release these adhesions, restoring the natural movement and expression of the face. By gently stimulating key points, this therapy helps restore balance, allowing for greater emotional expression and a renewed sense of vitality and harmony.

A study published in Frontiers in Psychology states, "Facial expressions not only reflect emotions but can also influence our mental state, helping to reduce stress and improve overall psychological well-being."

Facial acupuncture is a holistic and rejuvenating approach to enhancing facial health and natural beauty. This treatment promotes improved circulation, collagen production, and lymphatic drainage, which helps reduce signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. In addition to its aesthetic benefits, facial acupuncture addresses underlying concerns like puffiness, skin congestion, and uneven texture, promoting a healthy and radiant complexion. This non-invasive, natural treatment supports overall well-being by balancing the body’s energy, leaving you with a refreshed, youthful appearance that reflects your inner vitality.

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, has become a popular skincare treatment for its ability to rejuvenate the skin by promoting natural collagen production. In recent years, a holistic approach to microneedling has gained attention, offering a more integrated, health-conscious way to support skin health while respecting the body’s natural healing processes.

Holistic microneedling merges the proven benefits of traditional microneedling with the ancient principles of acupuncture, addressing not only your skin's surface but also the deeper, underlying factors that influence both your skin's health and your overall well-being.

Holistic microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin’s surface, triggering the body’s natural healing response. This process leads to the production of new collagen and elastin—two essential proteins that keep skin firm, smooth, and youthful. Beyond skincare, holistic microneedling is also effective for promoting hair regrowth by stimulating blood circulation to the scalp and encouraging the regeneration of hair follicles. The key difference between traditional microneedling and holistic microneedling lies in the approach. We start every Holistic Microneedling session with a thorough consultation and review of your concerns and goals for treatment as well as take the time to review the best aftercare plan for skin type. Prior to starting microneedling our acupuncturist carefully chooses customized acupuncture points to support your skin’s health and vitality from the inside out. We then preform the treatment using high quality topicals that are absorbed approximately 2000% more than when applied without microneedling.
