Specialty Treatments

Facial Rejuvenation
Your face is the ultimate reflection of your internal health and emotional well-being. My facial rejuvenation is a safe and effective treatment for revitalizing the face as well as your whole body. Fine lines may be entirely erased, deeper lines reduced and sagging skin firmed. The skin will appear dewy and glow. Fine needles are placed in a variety of points on the body and face followed by facial stimulation and massage with my signature beauty elixir. This treatment stimulates Qi and Blood in facial meridians, which tighten sagging muscles, tonify skin and improve circulation and collagen production. You will see marked improvement with the first treatment.

Beautiful Baby Point
An essential treat for all mothers-to-be. According to ancient Chinese text, stimulating this point in the third and sixth month of pregnancy results in a happy and healthy baby. This treatment involves the needling of one point on the body with a gold acupuncture needle, which is yours to keep for posterity. Tonifying this point minimizes the transmission of toxins from mother to child, increasing the health of the baby by building a strong immune system and fortifies the mother's qi. Ancient text states that the point "gives the child an especially luminous complexion, the child will sleep at night, laugh during the day, does not get sick or if he does, the cure is within a few hours or days, according to the case. The child will have none of the bad characteristics of the parents, but rather a healthy mind, morale and body." Morant, L'Acupuncture Chinoise.

Enhanced Fertility
I create a customized TCM program (acupuncture, herbal blend, diet, fertility education, and mind/body work) to help women conceive and carry to full term. I recommend a 3-month commitment to weekly acupuncture treatments to create correct hormone balancing and prepare the body for a healthy and strong journey to motherhood. This program can be utilized by those who want to conceive naturally, as well as those who are utilizing Assisted Reproductive Technology such as IVF and IUI. Men are also encouraged to receive treatments to improve sperm count, morphology and motility.

Smoking Cessation
My signature treatment is a blend of acupuncture and NAET energy re-balancing, which yields amazing results for those who want to kick the habit. Adherence to a strict 25-hour diet is necessary to reap the full benefit of this treatment. Most people quit smoking after 2 treatments.

Postpartum Wellness
I've developed special treatments to suit the needs of new moms. These treatments help with insufficient lactation, stress, hormone adjustment , mood enhancement, fatigue and strengthening your abdominal muscles to regain your pre-baby body.
