Services
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use fine needles to stimulate energy flow and promote healing for chronic pain, migraines, and musculoskeletal conditions. This ancient practice helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and restore balance to your body's systems. Patients experience lasting relief from both acute and chronic conditions through personalized treatment plans.
Reflexology
Reflexology sessions apply targeted pressure to foot reflex points corresponding to different body organs and systems. This non-invasive therapy helps alleviate stress, improve circulation, and support overall wellness. Our practitioners use precise techniques to address specific health concerns through this holistic foot-based treatment.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy creates therapeutic suction to release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain. This traditional technique effectively treats back pain, sports injuries, and chronic muscle stiffness by promoting circulation and accelerating natural healing processes in soft tissues.
Auricular Therapy
Auricular therapy targets specific points on the ear to address pain management, addiction recovery, and stress reduction. This specialized acupuncture technique offers effective solutions for quitting smoking, weight management, and emotional wellness through precise stimulation of ear reflex points.
Needle-Free Face Lift
Our non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatment uses microcurrent technology to lift and tone facial muscles without needles. This pain-free procedure reduces fine lines, improves skin texture, and enhances natural radiance through gentle electrical stimulation that revitalizes facial tissues.

Report
I have received great treatments from Shelley for years for stress. I always leave feeling so peaceful and relaxed. Now I am undergoing chemotherapy and I see her weekly to keep my energy flowing and organs healthy. I always look forward to my sessions with her and feel more energetic and well afterwards. the docs are really happy with how I am doing under the chemo and i know her sessions are helping me stay strong and giving my body a chance to heal. Thank you!

Report
After 5 sessions with Shelley my long standing shoulder pain is completely gone. I had never had acupuncture previously and have been very happy with the results. It's been a month since the last session and zero pain has returned. Couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend Shelley's service.
