Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management.

Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.

FIVE ELEMENTS + THE FIVE SEASONS

This seasonally inspired series is designed to strengthen your health, balance your nervous system, and deepen your connection to the abundance of the season ahead. Refresh, restore, and reconnect with your most vibrant self.

In Chinese Medicine, seasonal changes are essential. Each of the five seasons—Spring, Summer, Late Summer, Autumn, and Winter—is associated with a specific element, channel system, and corresponding energetic patterns. Aligning with these natural rhythms, in conjunction with your unique constitution, can be supported through diet, lifestyle, and the individualized self-care that acupuncture naturally addresses.

By deepening your understanding of your constitution through the Five Elements of Chinese Medicine, you can transform how you move through each season—with greater health, vitality, and resilience. Together, we’ll explore your constitutional needs to support a healthy body, a balanced nervous system, and smooth transitions throughout the year.

Seasonal Energetics

Late Summer (Earth): A transitional season of grounding and balance, linked to the spleen and stomach, and the emotion of empathy.
Autumn (Metal): A time to let go and declutter, associated with the lungs and large intestine, and the emotion of grief.
Winter (Water): A season of stillness and deep energy reserves, connected to the kidneys and bladder, and the emotion of fear.
Spring (Wood): A time for renewal and growth, associated with the liver and gallbladder, and the emotion of anger.
Summer (Fire): The most energetic season, associated with the heart and small intestine, and the emotions of joy and anxiety.

3 consecutive weeks is suggested to achieve maximum results.
$175 per session / $450 per 3 session series
Please allow 90 minutes for this experience.

Face Cupping

These small facial cups stimulate lymphatic flow, oxygenate the skin, and support detoxification to help regenerate healthy tissue. Face cupping revitalizes dull skin and helps reduce puffiness, swelling, and inflammation in the face and neck.

Cupping therapy promotes cellular turnover, reduces inflammation, improves blood flow, and encourages deep relaxation. Unlike traditional massage, which applies pressure into the tissue, cupping works by gently pulling the skin upward, releasing fascia and muscle tension. This increased circulation helps clear stagnation and can visibly soften fine lines and wrinkles.

Gua Sha

Facial Gua Sha uses a smooth-edged tool to gently glide across the skin, encouraging lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and muscle tension, stimulating circulation, and sculpting the face for a brighter, firmer appearance.

As a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practice, Gua Sha not only enhances the skin's vitality but also offers calming, meditative effects—supporting both outer beauty and inner well-being.

Hammam

Cleanse and relax with private hot and cold therapy. Re-energize your mind, body, and soul. Hydrate the skin for a luminous glow, detoxify the body, and boost your immune system. Hammam treatments also reduce pain and inflammation while improving the overall function of the circulatory and neuromuscular systems.

LED Therapy

You know that dreamy, floating sensation after acupuncture? Multiply that by 100 when you add LED therapy.

LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy uses specific wavelengths of light—such as red, blue, and near-infrared—to penetrate the skin and stimulate healing at the cellular level. Originally developed by NASA to support plant growth in space, LED therapy was later found to accelerate wound healing and cell regeneration.

This non-invasive treatment boosts collagen and elastin production, enhances circulation, speeds up tissue repair, and—when treating acne—kills acne-causing bacteria. The result: glowing, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin.

Fire Cupping for the Body

Traditionally used to boost immunity and support recovery from respiratory conditions, fire cupping is gaining popularity for the unmistakable circular marks it can leave on the back—evidence of deep, therapeutic work.

The suction created by the fire draws tissue upward, mimicking a reverse deep tissue massage. It increases circulation, breaks down adhesions, releases tight connective tissue, and activates the body's natural healing response.
