AcuMassage is a 75-minute session that blends acupuncture with targeted bodywork to release tension, restore circulation, and regulate the nervous system.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many acupuncture sessions will I need?
It depends on your condition and goals. Acute issues may resolve in a few visits, while complex or chronic concerns may require a series. I’ll make recommendations after your first session.

Do you offer packages or memberships?
Yes. I offer packages and monthly memberships for acupuncture, AcuMassage, and integrative care. These are ideal for ongoing support and include savings per session.

Can acupuncture and herbs be combined?
Yes—and I recommend it, especially for chronic or systemic conditions. Acupuncture treats the energetic and structural imbalances, while herbs work on internal physiology. Together, they’re a powerful medicine.

What’s the difference between Acupuncture and AcuMassage?
Acupuncture focuses on internal balance and nervous system regulation. AcuMassage includes acupuncture plus hands-on work to address physical tension and stagnation. It's great for clients who need both energetic and physical release.

Do cupping and Gua Sha hurt?
They may leave temporary marks, but most clients find them relieving, not painful. I adjust pressure and intensity to your comfort level.

Can I do this alongside Western care?
Yes. These therapies integrate well with conventional medicine. Just let me know what treatments or medications you’re currently using.
