holistic wellness services to support your body’s innate ability to heal
My approach
Traditional healing, acupuncture, herbal medicine, whole foods nutrition, and self-care strategy are the life-giving practices I know and trust. I have witnessed the impact of holistic wellness not only in myself, but also in the patients I have helped live fuller, healthier lives through these modalities.
We all have an innate ability to heal and live vibrant, dynamic lives, and I am dedicated to supporting you in that process.
acupuncture
Initial (75 minutes): $140
Follow-Up (60 minutes): $110
Acupuncture offers a holistic approach to wellness, addressing a wide range of concerns from stress and anxiety to fertility and pain. This ancient Chinese healing technique involves inserting very thin needles into specific points that stimulate your body’s natural healing abilities, promoting balance and well-being.
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that energy, or “qi,” flows through your body along specific pathways. Acupuncture unblocks these pathways to restore function, vitality, and balance.
An acupuncture treatment is a relaxing experience, and a gentle yet effective way to address health concerns and improve your sense of well-being.
-
During your intake, I ask questions about your medical history, lifestyle, and current concerns, then I check your pulse and examine your tongue to gain insights into your overall health. I tailor a personalized acupuncture treatment specific to your needs, and insert very thin, sterile needles into specific points on your body. You retain the needles and rest for around 20-30 minutes. You may experience sensations such as warmth, tingling, or heaviness around the needles. Some people feel so relaxed, they even take a nap! After the needles are removed, you may feel relaxed and energized. If needed, additional techniques like cupping, moxibustion, or gua sha can be used.
-
A standard acupuncture appointment includes a detailed intake, an acupuncture treatment, and a selection of cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, and/or herbal recommendations, when applicable. All treatments are tailored to your individual needs.
-
For your acupuncture appointment, it's best to wear a comfortable top and loose-fitting pants that can be rolled up above the knee. The majority of points used are located on the lower legs and feet, forearms, the abdomen, and sometimes the back.

Venus Delight Acupuncture Spa Facial (90 minutes): $225
Facial rejuvenation (or cosmetic) acupuncture is a specialized form of acupuncture with a unique focus on addressing skin concerns and promoting a healthy glow.
Facial acupuncture specifically targets concerns like fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin tone and texture, enhancing facial contour, reducing puffiness, and relaxing facial muscles.
In essence, facial acupuncture offers a holistic approach to beauty, combining the ancient wisdom of acupuncture with modern skincare techniques.
All facial acupuncture appointments include LED red or blue light therapy and a gua sha sculpting massage.

Facial acupuncture is a cosmetic treatment focusing mainly on the face and neck. While the focus will be your skin, your treatment will always be grounded in body points to balance your specific constitution. Facial acupuncture sessions include an intake, body and facial acupuncture, LED red or blue light therapy, and a facial gua sha massage.
-
Though subtle results are seen immediately, I generally recommend one full course of cosmetic acupuncture consisting of 10 sessions scheduled 1x/week or 2x/week, along with monthly or seasonal maintenance treatments for quicker, lasting results. For an elevated spa experience, kick off your course of cosmetic acupuncture with the Venus Delight Acupuncture Spa Facial.

cupping
30-minute cupping session: $70
Fire cupping is an ancient healing modality that involves applying heat to a glass to create suction. This suction helps to increase blood flow to the area, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing.
The cups leave temporary, circular marks on your skin, which can vary in color depending on the intensity of the treatment. While they may look a bit dramatic, they usually fade within a few days to a week.
Cupping is a relaxing and effective way to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and manage stress.
-
Yes! If needed, cupping may be included in your acupuncture session, especially when addressing shoulder, upper back, and/or lower back pain.

Reiki Add-On (30 minutes): $70
Reiki is an energy healing technique for stress reduction and relaxation. It's a gentle, non-invasive practice where a practitioner places their hands lightly on or above different parts of your body.
Think of it as a way to recharge your body's energy. Reiki practitioners channel energy into your body to promote relaxation, ease stress, soothe physical discomfort, and promote healing.
A Reiki session is a deeply relaxing experience, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
