Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatment involves inserting thin needles at specific points to regulate Qi energy flow. This ancient practice addresses pain management, emotional disorders, and chronic conditions by restoring bodily balance. Our practitioners use sterile, disposable needles following strict safety protocols.
Chinese Herbs
Custom herbal formulations complement acupuncture treatments by addressing systemic imbalances. We use concentrated GMP-certified plant-based remedies to enhance Qi quality and treat digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and immune deficiencies without animal-derived ingredients.
Magnetic Therapy
Biomagnetic Pair therapy uses medium-intensity magnets to balance pH levels and address chronic conditions. This non-invasive treatment targets pathogens and supports the body's natural healing processes through electromagnetic field adjustments.
Functional Exercise
Guided Qi Gong sessions combine movement, breathwork, and meditation to enhance energy flow. These exercises improve circulation, reduce stress, and maintain musculoskeletal health through traditional Chinese movement practices adapted for modern wellness needs.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping creates localized suction to release muscle tension and improve circulation. This technique effectively treats chronic pain, reduces inflammation, and promotes detoxification through controlled skin and muscle stimulation.

Report
I have suffered from post herpetic neuralgia from shingles for years. Unable to get relief from the regular medical channels I turned to acupuncture. With such a rich variety of modalities and credentials on their website, I thought maybe something could help me. My experience with Jonathan is no less than astounding. After a 10 minute consultation with him, he shared verbal knowledge of how to completely stop the pain I was having. It hasnt returned since and if it did I know how to safely stop it immediately myself!
Additionally with the acupuncture treatments I sleep better, I feel better

Jonathan is an amazing healer. I have been seeing him for my back and knee. I had surgery on my knee a year ago. I have had ongoing issues with swelling. I tried other various treatments, but it wasn't until I tried acupuncture, that I was able to finally get rid of swelling. My back is still a work in progress, but it is a lot better than it was. Jonathan is very kind and caring. I feel very lucky to have found him. I highly recommend him!
