Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
Chinese Medicine is an ancient method of diagnosing and treating illness and disease. Treatment is focused on restoring balance and harmony in the body. Thin, sterile needles are used at specific points to support energy channels, and harmonize “Qi” or energy in the body. In addition, Chinese herbs are sometimes utilized to enhance the healing effects of acupuncture.

Bowen Therapy
Bowen Therapy is a simple yet effective body-balancing system. Through gentle inputs to the body, Bowen Therapy stimulates energy flow and releases tension, strains and blockages, and supports the body to re-balance and heal. There is no manipulation or adjustment of hard tissue during a session—the treatment is very gentle, relaxing and safe for all ages.

Cosmetic Acupuncture
Treat yourself to younger-, healthy-looking skin. Cosmetic Acupuncture is a safe, non-surgical way to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and to bring a healthy glow to aging skin. Other conditions that may be improved by Cosmetic Acupuncture include drooping eyelids, double chin, uneven skin tone and acne.
