Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a holistic health technique that stems from TCM practices in which trained practitioners stimulate specific points on the body by inserting thin needles into the skin to improve the flow of Qi energy throughout the body.

What is Tuina?
Tuina (推拿) massage is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that addresses patterns of disharmony in the body through improving the overal Qi energy flow throughout the body. Though a relatively new practice in the West, tuina massage has been practiced in China for over 2,000 years. Tuina works by applying pressure to acupoints, meridians, and groups of muscles or nerves to free the flow of Qi energy throughout the body. This allows the body to naturally heal itslef and leads to improved overall health and vitality.

Other Services
In addition to tuina massage, we also offer:
Cupping
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. It can treat pain, inflammation, and help to improve blood flow, relaxation, and overall well-being.
Guasha
Guasha is an ancient healing technique where a smooth-edged instrument is used to apply strokes on the skin in the area of pain or on the back parallel to the spine. This helps to promote the smooth flow of blood in the area, thereby relieving pain.
Our massage practitioners are also trained to perform Shiatsu, Thai, and Reflexology Massage.
