Brief Targeted Acupuncture for Pain & Stress

Dealing with Pain/Stress/Injuries/Insomnia/Cravings? Targeted Auricular Acupuncture uses points on the ear to activate neuro-hormonal reflexes. Improves blood flow to injured areas, releases muscle tension and activates the body's endogenous opioids (natural pain-killers). Can be a great introduction if you are new to acupuncture.


Restorative Individual Acupuncture

First Session? Need more time for questions? Multiple symptoms or Concerns? Feeling Depleted? Individual Acupuncture sessions include more time to understand your needs and balance underlying systems using the TCM model.


Guided Group Meditation with Acupuncture (One Needle Meditation)

Amped up? The pace of modern life wearing on you? Cultivate inner peace by calming an over-active nervous system. Relax into a guided meditation (with optional acupuncture) to get into the zone.


Guided Group Tonglen Meditation (No Acupuncture)

Want to connect more to the bigger picture? Tonglen Meditation is an ancient practice of transmuting suffering into compassion.


Psychiatric Medication Management

Need a solid foundation to build upon? Straightforward mental health medication management assisted by acupuncture for relief from distressing symptoms. Determine if medications are the right fit for you. No controlled substances. Not in network with any insurance.


Guided Journeying/ Inner Resourcing

Ready to have it all? Three part session that begins with goal setting and deep relaxation- allowing you to enter a trance/altered state of consciousness to connect to the part of you that knows the answer. Can be explained by Theta State/Flow State for those who prefer such terms. Overlaps with mental performance training. Leverage the part of the mind described by Shamans and Sages.


Trauma Integration Psychotherapy with Acupuncture

Feeling stuck in the past? Want relief and hope? Ego psychology trauma integration (parts work) assisted by self hypnosis and acupuncture. Designed to identify and meet unmet needs- NOT a re-telling or re-living type of trauma therapy. Targets all types of trauma (even unspeakable trauma) or conflicted/painful parts of your life.
