Ah, sunrise acupuncture-just the very mention sends signals of enveloping oneself in a warm blanket, doesn’t it? Be one a veteran at acupuncture or an inquisitive new beginner, it is a real treat. Our location is literally the Swiss Army knife in all matters concerning health and wellness; there is something for everybody!

Let me speak about the needles first; they may sound daunting, but these little small warriors are your friends, here to help in self-healing and balancing life. Be it everything from stress, migraine, to that creaky knee from trying just that little bit too hard at yoga-you name it, we’ve got a session for it. And if you thought, “But needles aren’t my thing,” well, you are not alone, and we will guide you through it, as would the best of chums.

Well, then there is cupping therapy. You see Michael Phelps at the Olympics with these funny circular marks on his body; yeah, that is cupping. A kind of deep tissue massage without using your elbow grease. Loosens up any taut muscles, improves blood flow-oh, your back later will be soft, you know, like butter on a hot pancake.

Moxibustion involves heat treatment with dried plant material known as “moxa.” In case any of us are suffering from potassium deprivation, this therapy rejuvenates your blood and improves energy flow. Imagine being treated to an inner self of warmth with a cup of hot cocoa on a cold day.

Gua sha should also not be forgotten: scraping your skin with a special tool to improve blood circulation in the tissues and encouraging healing. Ancient wisdom with a modern twist. That may leave you with some redness, but nobody became a beauty queen without a montage of training, am I right? And what is a day at our center without a few herbal remedies thrown in? Ideal for those who like to throw a magic herb or two into the wellness cauldron.
