Sports Performance Optimization & Injury Recovery

Sports acupuncture can help athletes enhance their physical abilities by improving their stamina and performance. It can be useful before a big event, afterwards for recovery, or to address acute or chronic injuries. Acupuncture is also incredibly effective with orthopedic concerns, especially tendon and ligament injuries. From ACL tears to shoulder pain, I offer treatments that are gentle yet powerful for supporting recovery.

Intuitive Holistic Treatments for Optimal Health & Wellness

Acupuncture and herbal medicine are modalities used to balance the Qi (energy), improve blood flow, and remove stasis in the body. With the use of hair-thin needles in specific points on channel-meridians, acupuncture reconnects the mind, body, and spirit. This ancient medicine supports various concerns, such as hormonal shifts, pregnancy/postpartum, digestion, sleep, body/joint pain, migraines, stress, and anxiety, to name a few. Beyond acupuncture and herbal medicine, your body may need additional modalities such as cupping, gua sha, and manual bodywork.

  • "A year ago when I tore my ACL playing soccer, I received sports acupuncture treatment from Gaby before and after my surgery. The incredible work she did was crucial in supporting my recovery and optimized my muscles abilities with a combination of electrical stimulation and acupuncture. Gabi is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and empathetic. Highly recommend her quality work!"

  • I've had a grumpy right knee for a few months now, and Gabi was recommended to me as someone who might be able to help. And wow, did she ever! I'd never had acupuncture before, and Gabi was wonderful, clearly and carefully explaining everything she was going to do both before she started and while she was working. I noticed an improvement immediately, and my knee feels better than it has in months! Thank you so much Gabi! -
