Acupuncture

Acupuncture treats many conditions and is part of a comprehensive diagnostic system with an emphasis on treating the whole person.

Herbal Therapy

Chinese herbal medicine is a time tested, effective and gentle way to treat many common illnesses.

Qi Gong

The art of qi gong consists of three aspects: gentle movements, relaxed or regulated breathing, and focused awareness.

Cupping

Cupping involves the placement of sterilized glass or silicone cups on areas of the body to bring about various therapeutic effects.

Nutrition

Healthy eating is the means to improve the quality and length of your life. There is no one correct diet for all.

Functionally Integrated Medicine

F.I.M. starts with the patient’s individuality first, using specialized tests to understand root causes rather than the symptoms of the disease.

Trauma Informed Therapy

We utilize gentle techniques that are a perfect match for the needs of trauma survivors to restore balance and regulation. The method works below the level of cognition and helps people feel more embodied and become more present and self-aware.

Massage

Massage therapy provides relaxation, useful rehabilitation, and health maintenance.

Craniosacral therapy (CST)

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on technique that uses touch to improve the function of the craniosacral system.The goal is to restore balance to the nervous system and surrounding structures, and to release tension around the body's connective tissue network.

PHILOSOPHY

By achieving balance, harmony, and vitality

One can more easily experience the richness/beauty of life; once we feel this we share it back with the world. The common denominator of this experience is the fully intelligent being and the sense of love & gratefulness.
PRACTICE

We create a safe and vibrate context for healing.

The therapy we give fuels the body’s ability for self-balance and opens the doors to one’s own vitality. We strive to facilitate the individual’s capacity & awareness of the present moment, as well as a culture of self-evaluation & self-improvement.
