Our acupuncture treatments use fine needles to stimulate specific points on the body, promoting natural healing and pain relief. This ancient practice helps regulate bodily functions and reduce stress. Patients experience improved circulation and nervous system balance through personalized treatment plans.

Aimee is such a beacon of light and a sweet healer. I have seen her for acupuncture and I always feel rejuvenated and at ease in my body, mind and spirit after our visits. Her modern spaces makes me feel relaxed and I love how quiet the room is for my treatments. I am really looking forward to trying Reiki from her next and healing up my whole being on another level.

Aimee is fantastic at what she does. Not only that, but she is so calm and kind, and her energy feels warm and inviting. I went to her initially for general wellness and so looked forward to my sessions of relaxation and connection with her. In the past year and change, Ive gone to her while trying to conceive my first child, during pregnancy (omg go to her if youre pregnant! And go often. I swear she helped me with so many things and especially helped toward the end of pregnancy to gently nudge my body to go into labor), and postpartum. I also went as soon as she opened up during the pandemic

If you haven't experienced the magic that is acupuncture, do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Aimee. Her office space is warm and inviting and her personality is even more so. She provides a wonderful initial consultation to discuss your body and needs and tailors the session from there. The experience was so calming, relaxing and simply wonderful. I walked out of her office floating. Aimee also specializes in fertility and helping clients achieve their dreams of having a baby. She is a wealth of knowledge in helping you achieve your best healthy self and she truly cares for clients

I have known Aimee Ruiz for over 8 years, both as a colleague and a practitioner. I have been in the healing arts field for more than 26 years and I can wholeheartedly say that Aimee is a woman with a gift. I have seen her for both acupuncture and reiki. During her sessions Aimee is grounded and present. I left my reiki session feeling lighter and more in my body. Aimee is a healer that walks her talk, genuine. You would be blessed to work with her.
