Acupuncture
Acupuncture stimulates natural healing through ultra-fine needles at specific points, triggering biochemical responses that reduce pain and inflammation. This FDA-recognized treatment improves circulation and nervous system function while promoting deep relaxation. Patients experience relief from chronic conditions and stress-related disorders through personalized session plans.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations combine 3,000-year-old Chinese medicine principles with modern science. We prescribe plant-based remedies in various forms to address systemic imbalances and chronic conditions. Each formula treats both symptoms and underlying causes through synergistic ingredient combinations tailored to individual constitutions and health goals.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping uses controlled suction to increase circulation and release muscle tension. This detoxifying treatment draws impurities to the surface while delivering oxygen-rich blood to stagnant areas. Patients benefit from immediate pain relief and improved range of motion through both stationary and gliding cup techniques.
Aroma Therapy
Certified organic essential oils are applied to acupuncture points for emotional and physical healing. This aromacupoint therapy addresses stress-related conditions and chronic pain through olfactory and dermal absorption. Patients experience mood elevation and symptom relief using pure, unadulterated plant extracts in customized treatment combinations.
Light Rejuvenation
Energy Light Rejuvenation combines microcurrent and colored light therapy for non-invasive facial toning. This needle-free treatment reprograms facial muscles and stimulates collagen production using Chinese medicine principles. Patients achieve youthful appearance and systemic relaxation through sessions that address aging and stress indicators.

I was a patient of hers several years ago when she was practicing in San Diego. Physical therapy, cortisone shots, and medications did not help my tennis elbow, but 12 sessions with Roberta did! I had some shoulder pain but found out she moved to Arizona so I'm pretty bummed. I tried another acupuncturist but it just wasn't the same. San Diego's loss is Prescott's gain!

After reading all of Roberta's stellar reviews from Yelp, I made an appointment for my mom who has been suffering from back pain for years. This was my mom's first treatment from an acupuncturist so she was a bit nervous and didn't know what to expect. After my first conversation with Roberta I knew my mom would be in excellent care. She is very comforting, knowledgeable, and she truly cares about her patients. What a blessing she has been to my mom! After just 3 sessions, she feels so much better. Roberta is truly The Best! Thank You so much for taking excellent care of my mom!

First off I want everyone to know that Roberta is simply the best acupuncturist ever! I believe I went to her for about two years in San Diego. Every single visit was extraordinary and I left there feeling a deep sense of gratitude and relaxation. From the moment I walked in the door I felt relief. Her beautiful smile and sense of peace radiates through her presence and being. I never felt so pampered and loved as I did with Roberta. I haven't been able to find anyone like her since.

Roberta is simply amazing! She is so very kind and intuitive and just being in her presence is healing. She gives a wonderful spa treatment with her acupuncture sessions. Her space is warm and inviting and the energy is really great. She has really helped me with seasonal allergies and with my plantar fasciitis. You haven't had acupuncture until you have had it with Roberta. She adds so much more into her sessions that you would have to pay more for if you went anywhere else.
