Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses thin needles to stimulate energy flow through meridians, addressing issues like pain, infertility, and stress by restoring Qi balance. Our practitioners combine traditional techniques with modern understanding of anatomy and physiology to create effective treatment plans tailored to each patient's specific health concerns and wellness goals.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping improves circulation and detoxifies tissues by creating localized suction on specific body areas. This technique helps alleviate muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and support lymphatic drainage. Our practitioners strategically place cups on meridian points to enhance treatment effectiveness while ensuring patient comfort and safety.
Reiki Healing
Reiki balances energy flow through gentle hand placements that activate the body's natural healing processes. Our certified Reiki master combines this practice with acupuncture to enhance relaxation, reduce stress, and promote emotional well-being, creating a comprehensive approach to holistic health and wellness.
BodyTalk Sessions
BodyTalk uses muscle testing to identify energy imbalances and employs tapping techniques to restore communication within the body's systems. This innovative approach helps address physical, emotional, and mental health concerns through a personalized, science-based framework that complements traditional acupuncture treatments.
ThetaHealing
ThetaHealing utilizes theta brainwaves to promote deep relaxation and facilitate mind-body-spirit connection. This meditative technique helps release limiting beliefs and emotional blockages while supporting physical healing. Our practitioners integrate it with other therapies to create a comprehensive wellness experience for lasting results.

First of all I am grateful that I found this place. I drive by it all the time without thought. The location (the building itself) is full of really good energy and go figure, it was built intentionally to resonate with positive vibration. I went for energy clearing after having experienced emotional trauma and physical strain. Needless to say, Joanna is incredible. She can read you well and apply intention-based practices of reiki, cupping and accupuncture to suite your needs. I am in a much better place now. I do recommend the tea and to sample (or think about purchasing) the products in the

Joanna is magic. I had never gone to acupuncture before seeing her, and she made me feel so comfortable. Acupuncture, and more specifically Joanna, has changed my life. I had chronic back pain from a herniated disc, and with regular sessions my pain is gone. She also has helped with my fertility journey, my attitude, and is just an amazing person to be around. Gentle Heart is the best. Highly recommend. 10/10!!

Definitely the best! A friend referred me to Joanna during a very difficult time in my life when I couldnt find my way out of a toxic negative thought pattern. She helped me reset my energy and attitude using various methods which has completely changed my life. In addition to ongoing emotional and positivity maintenance, I get treatments for a neck injury and other physical aches and pains due to my rigorous fitness lifestyle. I tell everyone Joanna is truly an angel on earth.

I cannot say enough about Joanna. She has certainly changed my life- not only is she an amazing acupuncturist, but her energy, kindness and healing magic are unlike anything else I've experienced. Every time I leave Gentle Heart I feel lighter, more relaxed and so at peace.

I have been getting acupuncture for years with Joanna at Gentle Heart Accupuncture, and I dont plan on stopping anytime soon!!! For me, I get a combination of acupuncture, cupping, and a little bit of massage and its helped me a lot. I like that Joanna is very laid-back and easy to schedule with, and always does a great job. She is very friendly and always offering to help me with whatever pain I may be feeling. I love feeling refreshed once I leave Gentle Heart.

Amazing caring service every time. I needed reset, self-care and preventative physical and mental work to find balance. I go there at regular intervals and benefit from here acupuncture, cupping, massage and body talk and reiki. I've had many other acupuncturist in the past and Joanna is the best I've experienced.

Joanna is fabulous! Truly great at what she does! Always holds space for you to be you and whatever you are going through. I first went to Joanna for inner healing and after our first session I felt joy for the first time in what felt like years! Since then Ive gone for maintenance and even a few aches and pains Ive had along the way. I always recommend her to anyone looking for acupuncture. A truly beautiful soul!
