Acupuncture
Are you experiencing pain or discomfort? Struggling with a chronic condition and can't find relief? Feeling unwell without a clear diagnosis or treatment plan?
Perhaps you're dealing with weight, hormonal issues, or substance abuse — or simply want to look and feel younger without invasive procedures.
If any of this sounds familiar, acupuncture may be exactly what you've been looking for.
Acupuncture provides drug-free pain relief, treats the root cause of illness — not just the symptoms — and supports the prevention of disease. New studies confirming its efficacy are published regularly, and the World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture as an effective treatment for over 100 conditions.
The Science
Studies revealed that Acupuncture down-regulates pro-inflammatory cells reducing pain and swelling, and up-regulates cells involved in immune response, which relieves pain and inflammation. Acupuncture activates pain-suppressing receptors and increases the concentration of neurotransmitters that slows down brain's activity, inducing sleepiness, and relaxation. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recognized Acupuncture as an effective treatment of 100 conditions including, but not limited to:
-
Immunological disorders
-
Auto-immune disorders
-
Eye, ear, mouth & throat
-
Respiratory disorders

Modalities
Your acupuncture session might include one or more of the followings depending your presentation:
-
Dry Needle Trigger Point Therapy, A.K.A. Acupuncture Physical Medicine
-
TCM: Traditional Chinese Medicine Meridian's Energetics
-
Cupping, PEMF or Infrared Lamp Therapy
Sauna & Customized remedies are not included
Cupping
-
Cupping is a method of applying negative pressure by creating a vacuum on the skin, to create space, relieve tension, blockage, and thus, pain.
-
It promotes microcirculation, anti-inflammatory responses accelerating recuperation, and triggers cytokine production that modulates your immune response.
Painless, Needle-Free Laser Acu-point
-
Ideal for needle-phobic patients and children.
-
When a laser passes through a Gem, it opens up faster than light tachyon energy. This was proven by Physicists and made world headlines 20 years ago! It then went top secret. Activated gems treated with Light Stream Technology harmonics.
Infrared & FIR Sauna Add-on
-
Infrared saunas primarily emit far-infrared (FIR) wavelengths — the longest, sustained heat environment. FIR is absorbed at the skin surface and conducts heat inward, raising core body temperature and inducing sweat.
-
The benefit comes from the systemic response to heat — vasodilation, increased circulation, lymphatic stimulation, detoxification through sweating, nervous system relaxation, and temporary muscle and joint relief
-
Used for: detoxification, relaxation, cardiovascular support, chronic pain, and general wellness.
Fertility & Pre-Partum Doula
-
Fertility treatments: A systematic review of 27 studies and 7,676 participants found acupuncture groups had higher live birth rates than control groups — 32.1% compared to 27.9%, roughly a 34% relative improvement. Clinical pregnancy rates were also higher: 40.4% versus 33.9%, a 43% relative improvement.
-
Pre-partum Doula services
-
Postpartum treatments to assist lactation
-
Follow up treatments for postpartum depression
Moxibustion/ A.K.A. Moxa
-
Moxa is the use of the herb "Mugwort" (Artemisia Vulgaris), applied warm to the tissues in order to stimulate the flow of blood and Qi/ Chi, and protect against cold and/ or dampness.
-
Moxibustion is particularly effective in the treatment of chronic problems, and deficient conditions.
Painless, Needle-Free, Sono-puncture
-
Ideal for needle-phobic patients and children
-
Sono-puncture is the use of vibrations from tuning forks on acu-points for stimulation.
-
The body doesn't care if the information comes from a needle or the stem of a tuning fork.
-
The goal is communication with the energy system.
Near Infrared Light Therapy
-
IR lamps are targeted, localized devices that emit near-infrared and mid-infrared range (700–3,000nm). Because they are directional and close to the body, they deliver a concentrated dose of therapeutic wavelengths to a specific area — a joint, a muscle group, a section of skin, or the face.
-
The effect is both photochemical and thermal, for mitochondrial stimulation, ATP production, and tissue repair.
-
Used clinically for: wound healing, pain relief, skin rejuvenation, muscle recovery, localized inflammation, and post-treatment care in aesthetic medicine.
