Services
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use fine needles to stimulate energy flow and promote natural healing. This ancient practice effectively addresses pain, stress, and various health conditions by restoring bodily balance. Patients experience improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and enhanced overall wellness through personalized treatment plans.
Facial Acupuncture
This specialized treatment combines facial rejuvenation with internal health benefits. By targeting specific points on the face and body, we improve skin tone while addressing underlying health concerns. Patients notice reduced fine lines and improved facial circulation while experiencing systemic wellness benefits.
Pain Management
Our pain management approach addresses musculoskeletal issues through acupuncture and trigger point therapy. We target both symptoms and root causes of chronic pain, helping patients reduce reliance on medication. Treatments focus on improving mobility and accelerating recovery from sports injuries or repetitive strain conditions.
Women's Health
Specialized treatments support women's health throughout all life stages. We address menstrual irregularities, fertility challenges, and menopausal transitions using holistic approaches. Our care includes hormone regulation and support for women discontinuing birth control, promoting natural balance without pharmaceutical intervention.
Pediatric Treatments
Gentle, effective treatments for children aged 5-16 address various health concerns. Our approach uses minimal needle contact for quick, comfortable sessions. We treat common childhood issues while supporting overall development and immune function through safe, non-invasive techniques.

Treatment plans vary by condition. Acute issues may resolve in 1-3 sessions while chronic conditions typically require 5-10 treatments for lasting results.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows access to arms, legs, and torso. We provide draping for privacy and comfort during treatment sessions.

I've been going to Catherine's sessions for months now and I can definitely began to see changes even after a month. She's not only a great listener but cares about your overall health. I would recommend her to anyone living close or far or even visiting the place is neat and cozy and the energy is very calming and positive - she's awesome!

I came to see Catherine for my frozen shoulder and I was in pain with limited range of motion. I only had two weeks as I was visiting family in town, but those two weeks were very therapeutic. While my range of motion is still limited, I'm no longer living with shoulder pain (if you're suffering from a frozen shoulder, you know what a relief it is). If I were a local, I'd keep on visiting as I think I would see more improvements. I'll definitely be back on my next visit to Miami.

I've been going to Catherine Hollingsworth from Red Sage for the past two months and she is simply amazing. I've been to several acupuncturists throughout the year and she's been the best, by far. She's very patient and really takes the time to get to know her patients and their ailment. I had a difficult time recovering from childbirth and a few sessions with Catherine have made such a huge difference. My energy levels are almost back to normal!
