Services

• Acupuncture
  An acupuncture session consists of a health intake followed by treatment with acupuncture needles. Sandra may also include one of the modalities listed below to enhance the treatment session as well as offer lifestyle and dietary suggestions to expedite your journey to wellness.

• Chinese Herbal Medicine
  Herbs are an essential part of Chinese medicine and can enhance the effects of acupuncture and help maintain the results between treatments. Sandra uses the safest and the highest-quality herbal formulas available. All of her herbal products have been tested and meet the strictest biological, ecological and environmental standards.

• Cupping
  The use of glass or plastic cups placed on the body to create a vacuum suction, resulting in the movement of stagnant energy to promote healing in specific areas. Cupping can leave a harmless skin discoloration that fades within a few days.

• Gua Sha
  Gua Sha is a technique of using the round edge of a specialized tool to scrape the surface of the skin. This technique promotes circulation and normalizes the metabolic process by eliminating metabolic waste congesting surface tissue and the muscles. Like cupping, Gua Sha often results in skin discoloration that fades within a few days.
  

• Moxibustion
  Artemesia, an herb commonly known as Mugwort is burned and held above the surface of the skin to increase blood circulation and promote healing. Sandra uses a special form to reduce the smoke and ash provided.

• Electrical stimulation
  The use of a small current of electricity attached to the acupuncture needles to promote the circulation of energy between desired points. This is particularly helpful for musculoskeletal pain.

• Ion Detox Footbath
  The Ionic Foot Bath safely speeds up your bodies detoxification process by quickly making your body more alkaline and allowing it to move out acidic waste. Most users report less pain, clearer and softer skin and an improvement in arthritis, eczema and sleep within a few treatments. A course of 6-12 treatments are recommended. This is a modern technology that can be used in conjunction with acupuncture.
