Services
Acupuncture
Our community acupuncture sessions use strategic point selection to address pain and health conditions. Treatments occur in a group setting with recliners and massage tables, allowing patients to receive care without direct needle insertion at injury sites. Distal points on arms and legs effectively treat other body areas through energetic pathways.
Cupping
This traditional technique uses controlled suction to release muscle tension and emotional stagnation. By drawing stagnant energy to the skin surface, cupping promotes toxin elimination and improved circulation. Patients receive ten-minute sessions targeting specific areas of concern while experiencing immediate pain relief.
Celluma Light Therapy
Our light therapy sessions utilize specific wavelengths to stimulate cellular repair and collagen production. This non-invasive treatment accelerates tissue healing while reducing inflammation. Patients benefit from enhanced skin regeneration and pain relief through targeted light energy application.
Herbal Remedies
We provide customized herbal formulations using premium quality ingredients from trusted suppliers. Our practitioners create personalized blends to complement acupuncture treatments and address specific health needs. These time-tested remedies support systemic balance and long-term wellness through natural botanical compounds.
Nutritional Supplements
Our curated supplement program features professional-grade products from leading brands. Practitioners recommend targeted nutritional support to enhance treatment outcomes and address individual deficiencies. These science-backed formulations work synergistically with acupuncture to optimize patient health.

Questions
What should I wear to my acupuncture appointment?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows access to arm and leg acupuncture points. Avoid tight garments that restrict movement or circulation.

Our $30–50 sliding scale allows patients to choose their payment level based on financial ability. Initial visits include a $5 consultation fee for treatment planning.

We accept workers' compensation with authorization. For private insurance, we recommend verifying coverage details before treatment. Patients receive documentation for potential reimbursement.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, check, debit cards, and major credit cards. Unfortunately, we cannot process American Express or Discover payments at this time.
What's the cancellation policy?

I loved both of them! They helped me get out of a real bad Cluster Headache cycle and Digestive issues. I'm in Idaho now but would recommend 100%!
