 Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Acupuncture is a time-honoured healing practice that helps restore balance and harmony within the body. Using ultra-fine, sterile needles, acupuncture works by stimulating specific points along the body’s energy pathways, known as meridians, to promote the smooth flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood.

When Qi becomes blocked or imbalanced — due to stress, injury, or lifestyle factors — pain, tension, and illness can arise. Acupuncture encourages the body’s natural ability to heal by releasing stagnation, regulating internal systems, and calming the mind.

Acupuncture can help to:

• Relieve pain and muscle tension
   
• Reduce stress, anxiety, and fatigue
   
• Improve sleep and digestion
   
• Support women’s health and hormonal balance
   
• Enhance immune function and overall well-being
   

Each treatment is tailored to your individual needs, combining both modern understanding and Traditional Chinese Medicine principles to address the root cause of imbalance — not just the symptoms.

Acupuncture is gentle, relaxing, and deeply restorative. Many clients find it to be a meditative experience that leaves them feeling grounded, rebalanced, and revitalized.

Gua Sha is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that promotes healing by gently scraping the skin’s surface with a smooth-edged tool, typically made of jade, horn, or stone. The word “Gua” means “to scrape,” and “Sha” refers to the temporary redness that appears as circulation increases beneath the skin.

This therapy works by stimulating the flow of Qi (energy) and blood, helping to release tension, reduce inflammation, and move stagnant energy from the body.

Gua Sha helps to:

• Relieve muscle pain, stiffness, and tightness
   
• Improve circulation and lymphatic flow
   
• Reduce headaches, neck, and shoulder tension
   
• Support immune and detoxification functions
   
• Promote a feeling of deep relaxation and rejuvenation
   

Mild redness or light marks may appear after treatment — a natural response that typically fades within a few days as the body clears stagnation and restores balance.

Gua Sha can be performed on the body or face. Facial Gua Sha uses gentle, lifting strokes to enhance skin tone, reduce puffiness, and encourage a radiant, youthful glow — all while supporting internal balance and relaxation.

 Fire cupping is an ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine technique used to stimulate healing, improve circulation, and release tension throughout the body. During treatment, glass cups are briefly heated using a small flame to create a gentle vacuum before being placed on the skin. The suction draws the skin and superficial muscle layer upward into the cup, encouraging the free flow of Qi (energy) and blood.

Cupping helps to:

• Relieve muscle tension and stiffness
   
• Improve circulation and detoxification
   
• Reduce pain and inflammation
   
• Support the immune and respiratory systems
   
• Promote deep relaxation and overall well-being
   

Cups may be left in place for several minutes or gently moved across the skin (called sliding cupping) to provide a soothing, massage-like effect. After treatment, light circular marks may appear — a normal response that indicates improved blood flow and typically fades within a few days.

Fire cupping is a safe, relaxing, and time-tested therapy that can be used on its own or combined with acupuncture, gua sha, or massage for enhanced healing results.

 Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that uses gentle, therapeutic heat to nourish the body and promote healing. The treatment involves burning a dried herb called mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) near or on specific acupuncture points to warm the meridians, invigorate the flow of Qi (energy) and blood, and dispel cold and dampness from the body.

This deeply soothing therapy helps to:

• Relieve chronic pain and stiffness
   
• Warm and support digestive and reproductive health
   
• Strengthen immune function
   
• Ease menstrual discomfort and cold conditions
   
• Promote relaxation and overall vitality
   

Moxibustion can be performed in various ways — using moxa sticks, cones, or moxa on acupuncture needles — depending on your individual needs. The heat is mild and comfortable, producing a sense of gentle warmth that penetrates deeply into the tissues.

This therapy is often combined with acupuncture, cupping, or gua sha to enhance results and support long-term balance and wellness.

Experience a natural approach to beauty and wellness with Facial Rejuvenation without needles — a relaxing, holistic treatment designed to revitalize the skin and enhance your natural glow. This gentle therapy combines techniques such as facial Gua Sha, cupping, and acupressure massage to stimulate circulation, lift and tone the skin, and promote deep relaxation.

By encouraging the smooth flow of Qi (energy) and blood, this treatment supports both the health and appearance of the skin — from the inside out. It helps release muscle tension, improve lymphatic drainage, and awaken a refreshed, radiant complexion.

Facial Rejuvenation (No Needles) can help to:

• Reduce puffiness and dark circles
   
• Soften fine lines and expression tension
   
• Improve skin tone and elasticity
   
• Encourage a healthy, youthful glow
   
• Support stress relief and overall balance
   

This treatment is ideal for those who want visible, natural results without the use of needles or injectables. Each session is customized to your skin’s needs and may include herbal serums, gentle facial massage, and energy-balancing techniques to leave you feeling renewed — both inside and out.

Cosmetic Acupuncture, also known as Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, is a natural, holistic approach to enhancing beauty from the inside out. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, this treatment works by improving the flow of Qi (energy) and blood to the face while supporting the body’s overall balance and vitality.

Very fine, sterile needles are gently inserted into specific facial points — as well as body points — to stimulate collagen production, increase circulation, and tone underlying muscles. This encourages the skin to naturally lift, firm, and glow with renewed health.

Cosmetic Acupuncture can help to:

• Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
   
• Improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity
   
• Diminish puffiness and dark circles
   
• Lift and tighten sagging areas
   
• Promote a radiant, youthful complexion
   
• Support stress relief and overall wellness
   

Each treatment is customized to your unique needs, addressing not only external beauty but also the internal factors that influence skin health — such as digestion, stress, and hormonal balance. Over time, clients often notice brighter eyes, smoother skin, and an overall sense of renewed vitality and balance.

Cosmetic acupuncture is a gentle, non-invasive alternative to injectables, offering natural results that evolve gradually and gracefully.

Auricular Acupuncture (also known as ear acupuncture) is a powerful yet gentle therapy based on the principle that the ear is a microsystem reflecting the entire body. By stimulating specific points on the outer ear, this treatment helps to balance internal organs, calm the mind, and support physical and emotional well-being.

Each ear point corresponds to a particular organ, system, or area of the body. Tiny, sterile needles or small ear seeds are applied to these points to promote the smooth flow of Qi (energy) and encourage the body’s natural healing response.

Auricular acupuncture can help to:

• Relieve stress, anxiety, and insomnia
   
• Reduce pain and inflammation
   
• Support addiction recovery and cravings
   
• Aid in weight management and appetite control
   
• Promote emotional balance and relaxation
   

This therapy is often used as a stand-alone treatment or combined with body acupuncture for enhanced results. For clients sensitive to needles, small ear seeds (tiny herbal or metal beads) may be used to gently stimulate the points throughout the day, extending the benefits of the treatment.

Auricular acupuncture offers a relaxing and effective way to restore harmony between body and mind — one small point at a time.

Ear Seeds are a gentle, needle-free way to stimulate acupuncture points on the ear and extend the benefits of your treatment between sessions. Based on auricular therapy, each point on the ear corresponds to specific organs, systems, or emotional states in the body.

Tiny seeds — traditionally made from the Vaccaria plant, or modern versions made from metal or crystal — are placed on key points of the ear using small adhesive patches. The seeds apply light, continuous pressure to encourage the smooth flow of Qi (energy) and support the body’s natural healing and balance.

Ear seeds can help to:

• Reduce stress, anxiety, and tension
   
• Support sleep, focus, and mood
   
• Aid in pain management
   
• Help with craving control, appetite balance, and addiction recovery
   
• Encourage emotional calm and overall wellness
   

They are comfortable to wear and can remain in place for several days. You can gently press on the seeds throughout the day to reinforce their effects.

Ear seeds are an excellent option for those who prefer non-needle treatments or wish to enhance results between acupuncture sessions — blending ancient wisdom with modern convenience for continuous balance and well-being.

 Two primary acupuncture techniques are utilized in addiction recovery support.  These include ear acupuncture known as auricular (ear) acupuncture, and body  acupuncture with manual insertion or electrical stimulation  (electro-acupuncture). 

Ear acupuncture involves inserting small needles  into specific points on the ear. This technique is often used to support  addiction recovery, as it stimulates the brain’s reward system and reduces  cravings. 

Body acupuncture involves stimulating specific acupoints, typically by  inserting thin needles into the skin. These needles are stimulated  manually or through electroacupuncture, which applies a small electrical  current to enhance treatment effectiveness. 

While acupuncture is not a  standalone cure, it serves as an effective alternative therapy that  enhances conventional addiction recovery programs.
