Acupuncture is a holistic health modality rooted in ancient Chinese medicine, where hair-thin needles are inserted into specific points on the body to promote natural healing, reduce pain, and improve overall wellness. Acupuncture has a rich history dating back thousands of years in Chinese medicine. It is believed to have originated in China around 2,500 years ago and has since evolved into various styles and techniques. The practice is rooted in the concept of Qi (pronounced 'chee'), the vital energy that flows through the body along pathways called meridians. Today, acupuncture is practiced worldwide and has integrated with modern medical practices. It is valued not only for its ability to alleviate pain and treat various health conditions but also for its holistic approach to wellness, addressing both physical and emotional aspects of health.

Holistic Skincare is an approach to skincare that considers the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than just focusing on individual symptoms or skin issues. This philosophy emphasizes the interconnectedness of physical health, emotional well-being, and environmental factors, recognizing that these elements influence skin health. I use products made from organic, non-toxic ingredients that nourish the skin without harmful chemicals while tailoring skincare routines to individual needs, skin types, and personal lifestyles, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. It is important to addressing factors like diet, hydration, sleep, stress management and overall wellness--acknowledging their significant roles in skin health and vitality.

Similar to my holistic approach to skincare, I practice bodywork in a way that considers the whole being versus seeing you as separate parts. Thus, my intake form for massage is a bit more thorough than most. Additionally, I go beyond just treating the muscles and incorporate techniques that access and influence the fascia, nervous system, and meridian system. Every session is a blend of various styles and approaches including Thai massage and stretching, Swedish/Deep Tissue, acupressure/marma points, cupping & hot stones. Please note that all massage prices are all-inclusive and include gratuity for your convenience. Additional tips are graciously accepted but never expected.
