Acupuncture

What does acupuncture feel like?
Acupuncture can feel different from person to person and from treatment to treatment. Upon insertion, you may notice a brief pinch, dull ache, warmth, heaviness, tingling, pulling, or a subtle wave-like sensation. A sense of deep calm may arise, or emotions may naturally surface. Laughter, tears, stillness, and everything in between are welcome. There is no “right” way to experience a treatment.

 

Are acupuncture needles sterile?
Yes. Needles are individually packaged, sterile, and single-use.

​

How should I prepare for acupuncture?
Come nourished and hydrated, and wear loose, comfortable clothing.

​

What should I expect after acupuncture?
You may feel relaxed, grounded, energized, or sleepy. Changes can happen immediately or unfold gradually over the following days.

​

Fire Cupping

What is fire cupping?

Fire cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine modality that uses heat to create suction, gently lifting the skin and underlying tissue. It is used to encourage circulation, relieve muscle tension and discomfort, and address stagnation within the body's channels and tissues.

​

Will cupping leave marks?
Possibly. Cupping can leave temporary circular marks that typically fade within several days.

 

Does cupping hurt?
Cupping should feel strong but comfortable. You may experience pulling, pressure, warmth, or mild tenderness afterward.

 

Facial Rejuvenation​

How many treatments will I need?
This depends on your goals and how your skin responds. A series of treatments is generally recommended for cumulative results, followed by treatments as desired for maintenance.

 

Ear Seeds

What are ear seeds?
Ear seeds are small seeds or beads placed on specific points of the ear to provide gentle acupressure between treatments. They are completely needle-free.

​

What are your ear seeds made of?
Our ear seeds are 24k gold-plated and placed individually according to your treatment.

​

How long do I leave ear seeds on?
They should only stay on between 3-5 days. They can be worn while sleeping and showering. If an area becomes irritated or overly sensitive, remove the seed.
