Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments use fine needles to stimulate energy flow and blood circulation for pain relief and overall wellness. Our practitioners address both immediate symptoms and underlying health imbalances through customized sessions that may include moxibustion, cupping, or electrical stimulation. This ancient practice helps manage chronic conditions, post-injury recovery, and stress-related disorders while promoting natural healing processes.
Functional Nutrition
Personalized nutrition plans combine East Asian dietary principles with modern functional medicine to improve digestion and energy levels. We analyze blood chemistry and dietary habits to create customized programs addressing nutritional gaps through whole foods, supplements, and meal timing strategies. Our approach emphasizes mindful eating and sustainable lifestyle changes for long-term health benefits.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations use traditional East Asian remedies to support organ function and immune health. Our extensive pharmacy includes tablets and teas containing Chinese herbs that address specific health concerns while nourishing the body's systems. These natural remedies complement acupuncture treatments to enhance detoxification, hormonal balance, and overall constitutional strength through evidence-based botanical medicine.

The treatment I have received here has been excellent, especially through the use of electroacupuncture. As someone who is uncomfortable with needles, this treatment is surprisingly comfortable. Normal acupuncture is very relaxing for me and the only way I can describe electroacupuncture is to liken it to putting on a nice warm blanket; it is a surprisingly soothing treatment.

I have been working with Susannah for almost a year now and have seen significant improvement in my asthma symptoms and sinus problems. Susannah has guided me through changes in diet and exercise as well as beginning a regular meditation schedule. I now have almost no asthma symptoms and have not had a significant cold or sinus headache in the past year. I feel healthier and stronger than I have in many years.
