Cupping

Cupping is traditional Chinese medicine technique that uses suction to create negative pressure on connective tissue and muscles to increase circulation and relax stiff muscles. It is used to warm and promote the free flow of Qi (energy) and blood. It is particularly useful to help alleviate low back pain, shoulder pain, headaches, and even menstrual cramping. It can also help to clear out congestion from lingering colds and relieve indigestion and abdominal pain.

Gua Sha

Gua sha is a type of traditional Chinese medicine technique involving a smooth tool brushed along the skin to increase blood circulation, break up adhesions, and mobilize underlying tissue. It is great for injured areas and neck and shoulder tension. It can also be useful for clearing heat and toxins from the body.

Nutritional Counseling

The best source of vitamins and minerals for optimal health ideally comes from food. To support your health goals, we will provide dietary counseling from a traditional Chinese medicine lens, which focuses on seasonal and cooked nourishing foods.
