Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments use sterilized disposable needles to stimulate energy flow through meridian pathways. This ancient practice addresses chronic pain, stress, and internal imbalances by restoring Qi circulation. Our practitioners combine traditional techniques with modern medical understanding for comprehensive care.
Qigong Instruction
Taoist qigong classes teach energy cultivation through movement, breathwork, and meditation. These practices enhance vitality, improve flexibility, and promote emotional balance. Both group classes and private instruction focus on traditional Nei Gong techniques for physical and spiritual development.
Chinese Herbal Therapy
Custom herbal formulations address specific health concerns using time-tested Chinese medicinal combinations. Our practitioners prescribe decoctions, powders, and capsules to support digestion, immunity, and overall wellness while considering individual constitutional needs.
Tui Na Massage
Tui Na therapy combines acupressure and energy work to release blockages in meridian pathways. This specialized massage technique improves circulation, relieves muscle tension, and restores energetic balance through targeted manipulation of qi flow.
