Services
Acupuncture
An ancient Asian healing modality meant to restore your body’s balance and ease tension trapped within its tissues, leaving you with a deep sense of calm, bliss and clarity. A gentle cascade of hormonal and energetic changes will envelop your body after slim, sterile acupins are set softly within the skin to rest. As the serenity sets in, your body taps into its hidden reserves of healing and melts away the heavy effects of stress and injury your body has picked up in daily life: leaving you feeling light like a lotus floating carelessly upon a simmering ocean.
Acupressure
Ideal for those of you seeking a non-invasive approach, acupressure is a gentler, hands-on therapy that uses focused touch, rather than acupins, to stimulate the same points on your body. This little change makes a large impact as it allows the treatment to calm and rejuvenate you in situations where the acupins alone are neither prudent nor practical to fully immerse you into the treatment’s restorative waters.
Cupping
An ancient therapy practiced all over the world that uses suction to slowly slacken tightened tissue. Specialized cups of glass or plastic will be placed on the skin above selected areas of tension or injury. Then, utilizing either fire or suction, the air in the cup is suddenly removed, providing your skin with a warm gentle tug. As the cups are set, the gentle pulling slowly frees any knotted muscle fibers constricting your blood flow and keeping you tense. In time, a rush of endorphins flood to the area, bringing it a rolling wave of bliss and relief that lingers pleasantly even after the cups come off.
*Note: Three types of cupping—Glass, Plastic and Heart shaped— are available
