Digestive Health & Allergies

Support your gut-brain connection and immune system naturally.

Digestive and immune concerns often improve when the nervous system and inflammation pathways are regulated.

IBS, diarrhea or constipation
Bloating, gas & abdominal discomfort
Acid reflux & nausea

Pregnancy-related discomforts

These treatments are always gentle, supportive, and tailored to your goals.

Stress, Anxiety &
Sleep Issues

Regulate your nervous system and restore your resilience.
Modern life places a tremendous load on the nervous system. Acupuncture helps shift the body into a parasympathetic, restorative state — lowering stress hormones, calming the mind, and improving sleep quality.
Conditions supported:
Anxiety & overthinking
Stress, burnout & emotional overwhelm
Insomnia & difficulty staying asleep
Fatigue & low energy
Tension headaches, jaw clenching & “wired-but-tired” patterns

Many patients describe treatments as their “reset button,” especially during high-stress periods.

Neurological Conditions & Facial Nerve Support

Gentle, targeted treatments for nerve-related symptoms.

Acupuncture is often recommended alongside mainstream care for neurological or nerve-involved conditions.

Conditions supported:

Bell’s palsy / facial paralysis
Shingles nerve pain (post-herpetic neuralgia)
Parkinson’s symptoms (rigidity, tremor, stiffness)
Nerve pain & neuropathy

Patients often notice improved mobility, reduced pain, and better facial symmetry with consistent care.
