Services
Acupuncture Treatments
Our acupuncture sessions use traditional Chinese techniques combined with modern bioWestern principles to address pain, chronic conditions, and energy imbalances. Treatments incorporate Gua Sha and cupping therapies as needed, with sessions lasting 60-90 minutes. Patients experience tailored point stimulation using both traditional needles and alternative methods like laser therapy for those sensitive to needles. This service addresses musculoskeletal issues, emotional health, and systemic wellness through proven, time-tested approaches.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Customized herbal formulations combine classical Chinese medicine with modern supplement science to support healing and wellness. Our apothecary offers teas, tinctures, and micro-pills tailored to individual diagnoses. Each prescription undergoes professional quality control and includes detailed dosing instructions. We specialize in creating synergistic blends that complement acupuncture treatments, with pricing reflecting the complexity and quality of each formulation. Patients receive ongoing guidance for optimal herbal integration with their wellness plans.
Spiritual Ceremonies
Shamanic spiritual ceremonies address energetic imbalances through cord removal, soul retrieval, and ancestral healing practices. These sessions require preparatory coaching and follow-up integration support. Ceremony types include clearing blessings, vow renouncing rituals, and spirit animal determination. Conducted in-person or via telehealth, these services emphasize energetic purification and protection through traditional practices adapted for modern healing needs while maintaining cultural authenticity and ritual integrity.
Functional Medicine Testing
Our functional medicine approach incorporates advanced diagnostic testing through Quest Diagnostics to identify physiological imbalances. These lab analyses inform personalized treatment protocols combining traditional Chinese medicine with evidence-based interventions. Services include hormone panels, nutritional assessments, and systemic health evaluations that guide both herbal prescriptions and acupuncture treatment strategies, creating comprehensive care plans based on objective clinical data.
Private Healing Days
Custom-designed healing days combine multiple therapeutic modalities in an immersive wellness experience. Each session integrates acupuncture, herbal medicine, and spiritual healing elements tailored to individual needs. The day-long program includes ceremonial bookends using sacred smoke and personalized follow-up care. This intensive format allows uninterrupted focus on healing processes through sequential therapies that address physical, emotional, and energetic aspects of wellness in a structured yet flexible format.

Absolutely wonderful! From the initial walk into the clinic you feel a sense of peace and comfort. Dr. Cliff walks you through process but also allows space for the beauty of acupuncture to unfold! My first experience with acupuncture was a spiritual and emotional ride but definitely worth it in the long run. Highly recommend Dr. Cliff !
