We will continue to be open through February

The acupuncture treatments are effective for helping people facing stress, anger, frustration, depression, fatigue and other emotional and physical pain. These simple acupuncture treatments have a positive transformative effect without requiring the recipient to talk about their symptoms or emotions unless they would like to.

Treatments are provided in a communal setting with the recipient fully clothed and seated in a chair. Five thin, sterilized, disposable needles are applied gently to points on each ear. We create a safe, quiet space to allow the calming effects to heal.
