Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture stimulates the body's natural healing mechanisms through strategic needle placement. This ancient practice improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and activates the parasympathetic nervous system to promote relaxation and pain relief. Our practitioners use this technique to address chronic pain, stress, and various systemic conditions.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations complement acupuncture treatments by supporting internal balance and physiological function. These time-tested remedies enhance immune response, improve digestive efficiency, and help regulate hormonal systems through natural plant-based compounds tailored to individual health profiles.
Functional Lab Testing
Advanced diagnostic testing identifies underlying imbalances in gut health, hormone levels, and immune function. This precision medicine approach enables targeted interventions by revealing specific nutritional deficiencies and systemic inflammation markers that contribute to chronic conditions.
Diet Counseling
Personalized nutrition plans address dietary factors affecting chronic conditions. Our counseling focuses on eliminating inflammatory foods while implementing nutrient-dense alternatives that support cellular health and metabolic function through evidence-based dietary strategies.
Chronic Pain Management
Integrated pain management combines acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle modifications to address chronic discomfort. This multidisciplinary approach targets both immediate symptoms and long-term physiological contributors to pain through non-pharmaceutical interventions that promote natural healing processes.

First time ever consulting with Chinese medicine.
Thomas was warm, compassionate, knowledgeable and patient with me. He answered all my questions and then some. He explained my internal body and it's needs In a way I could understand. He walked me through the whole process. I decided to start with acupuncture, this was my first time. He explained to me exactly what I would feel and he was right. The room was clean and inviting. The music was soft and gentle. I barely noticed that over an hour had come and gone. I would highly recommend coming here weather it's your first time

I found Thomas via Groupon, and went to him for a horrible back strain. I'd tried rounds and rounds of physical therapy and different chiropractors and nothing worked until I found Thomas. Within a couple of weeks, my back starting loosening up until I was pain free and moving like normal again. I've gone back multiple times whenever I have injuries or flareups. I love that the rooms are heated, it helps me relax. I'm really hoping that in person appointments will be available again soon!

Came here with an acute muscle spasm after 2 sessions of chiropractic treatment that weren't very helpful. Thomas WORKS WONDERS. I Left feeling much more relaxed in a little bit more centered. When I came in my body was literally crooked because my muscles were so tight. So grateful that the business is open during COVID-19. I was safely seen while wearing a mask and Thomas had a mask on as well. Looking forward to my next session!

Thomas is an amazing gentle and caring healer. He's helped me eliminate hand cramping in just a few sessions, helped me heal a growth of sorts of the back of my head, I was scared it was serious. And he's helping me recover from runner's knee. Thomas guided me through a detoxing cleanse that really helped my recovery process. I have seen him for acupuncture, acupressure, and cupping and you should too!
