Testimonials
Report
Carolyn did a combination treatment of hot cups for my lower back pain and acupuncture for some other issues. She has a very intuitive touch and at the end of the appointment I was floating on a cloud. Slept for 9 hours straight when I got home and woke up feeling brand new! Carolyn is an excellent practitioner!

During your acupuncture visit, you may receive tui na for a few minutes before or after acupuncture in order to support the effectiveness of the treatment. Tui Na is a powerful form of medical massage based on the same traditional Chinese medical principles as acupuncture.
Tui Na, which literally means "pushing, grasping, " involves manual techniques such as brushing, kneading, roll/pressing, traction, range of motion, and rubbing along the affected meridians to improve the circulation of qi and blood in the meridians and muscles.Tui Na is particularly effective in the treatment of both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, such as structural misalignments and sports injuries, as well as internal diseases.
