Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses fine needles at specific points to balance energy flow and stimulate natural healing. This Traditional Chinese Medicine practice treats chronic pain, stress, and various health conditions by restoring bodily harmony. Our licensed practitioners tailor treatments to individual needs, addressing both symptoms and underlying imbalances through personalized sessions.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy applies controlled suction to skin surfaces to increase circulation and relieve muscle tension. This ancient technique helps reduce inflammation, ease chronic pain, and improve respiratory function. Our practitioners use modern cupping methods to complement other treatments, creating comprehensive wellness plans for lasting relief from physical discomfort.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha involves gentle skin scraping to stimulate microcirculation and release muscle knots. This Traditional Chinese Medicine technique reduces pain, improves lymphatic drainage, and enhances skin health. Our practitioners use specialized tools to address musculoskeletal issues and promote systemic healing through targeted pressure and stroking motions during each treatment session.
Ayurvedic Therapy
Ayurvedic therapy combines personalized herbal prescriptions, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations to restore mind-body balance. This ancient Indian medical system addresses chronic conditions through customized wellness plans that include detoxification protocols and stress management techniques tailored to individual constitutions for comprehensive health improvement.
Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine uses plant-based formulations to support the body's natural healing processes. Our practitioners prescribe customized herbal combinations in various forms to address specific health concerns while considering seasonal factors and individual constitution. These natural remedies work synergistically with other therapies to promote long-term wellness and prevent recurring health issues.

At a time of great physical and mental illness in a fit of desperation acupuncture was a unknown uncharted territory for me, but by the grace of God my insurance paid for the first few sessions and it got my into energetic balance. I always feel safe, secure, at peace within the calm tranquility of Merriam Park Acupuncture. I have been seeing Kim for almost a year and she is great, flexible and skilled. Healing is truly her passion and that has been such a source of support during my journey and transition to Healing from within and dealing with my whole wellbeing lifestyle transformation. I always

Adrienne was super awesome. She took the time to listen about my neck pain, and right away suggested some things that would help, like guasha work on the front part of my neck. I will be back again for sure!

Adrienne is so great. I came in because my adrenal glands were low due to the medication I took. She was able to help me feel totally refreshed. She really cares about her clients and wants to help heal people. I love how gentle and patient she is!

First time receiving acupuncture. I was nervous, but the atmosphere is very homey, and Kim made me feel very comfortable. I was getting back spasms every few months for the past 14 years, and most recently, in the worst flare up I've experienced thus far- with spasms off/on for over 4 weeks. I cant say for sure it was the acupuncture or cupping, but since my first appointment, I haven't had a muscle spasm.
