Almost everyone loves to receive a massage. We offer Tui Na, Thai Massage and traditional Therapeutic Massage. Massage can be a full one hour or as needed during an acupuncture session.

Cupping/Guasha

Cupping is an ancient healing modality found in many different cultures. It is known to help relieve sore, tense muscles, improve blood circulation, boost immunity, and remove toxins. Cupping involves using heat inside of a glass cup which creates a suction effect when the cup is then quickly placed on the skin.

Gua Sha is another technique used to promote qi and blood circulation, helping unblock stagnation of energy in the body. We have learned that where there is stagnation there will be pain. Gua Sha is performed by using a sooth edged tool to gently scrape the skin on specific ares of the body.

“Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Just breathing and smiling can make us very happy, because when we breath consciously, we recover ourselves completely and encounter life in the present moment. When we practice looking deeply, we realize that our home, our paradise, is everywhere”.
