  • What is Acupuncture?

  • What can Acupuncture do for me?

    Acupuncture can help increase life balance, promote wellness, and reduce chronic pain and tension.

  • What can I expect during an Acupuncture session?

    Before your first appointment, you will need to complete an acupuncture health history form. At your first session, your acupuncturist will discuss your primary health issue, lifestyle factors, and health problems. After your interview, the acupuncturist will advise on a recommended course of treatment, and then begin the therapy. She will insert six to 12 sterile (one-use only) needles at specific points to address your health concern. There will be only a slight pricking sensation when the needles are inserted; after insertion, you should feel no pain.

  • Payment options

    More and more insurance companies are including acupuncture treatments in their policies. Consult your insurer about your coverage. Some plans that do not normally cover acupuncture will pay for treatments if a physician recommends them. Full payment is required at the time of treatment. If you have coverage, the necessary paperwork will be filled out for your reimbursement. Usually, there is a two week turnaround on repayment. In addition, Flex Spending Dollars can be used towards both acupuncture treatments and herbal formulas.

• Chakra Balancing

  Ancient philosophy teaches us that our chakras are wheels that form symbolic energy centers at main points of the body. The seven major chakras each relate to a specific color, organ, gland or part of the body. Imbalances or blockages in these chakras can be caused by physical or emotional strains.

This service is provided in our therapy room. You will rest comfortably on our massage table for most of the session, warm and relaxed.

• Reflexology

  • What is Reflexology?

    Reflexology is a holistic acupressure technique that works with the energy flow of the body to promote natural self-healing. It is non-invasive and may be used as a complementary therapy in conjunction with conventional health care. Reflexology reflects the theory of Asian medicine in that it sees the mind, body, and spirit as a whole.

  • What can Reflexology do for me?

    Applying pressure to specific areas and stimulating the nerve endings in the feet encourages the flow of Chi, relieves stress and tension, boosts the immune system, provides pain relief, aids sleep, reduces blood pressure, and improves digestion and elimination.

  • What can I expect during a Reflexology session?

    While every reflexology session has similarities, each will be tailored to your specific needs, beginning with a discussion of your health history and your current concerns. The session will take place in a dimly lit room while you lie in a zero-gravity chair or massage table. You will enjoy soothing music and light scents as you relax. Reflexology pressure is then applied to your hands and feet. You will likely feel the results immediately; often the benefits can still be felt days later. Prior to your first Reflexology session, we ask that you complete a health screen questionnaire and bring it with you to your first session.

• Thai Massage

  • What is Thai Massage?

    Thai massage is also called Thai yoga massage, because the therapist uses his or her hands, knees, legs, and feet to move you into a series of yoga-like stretches. Many people say Thai Massage is like doing yoga without any work. Other techniques used during a Thai massage treatment are muscle compression, joint mobilization, and acupressure. Thai massage is both relaxing and energizing at the same time.

  • What can Thai Massage do for me?

    Thai massage can offer you these wellness benefits: relaxation, stress reduction, improved circulation, increased energy, increased flexibility, improved range of motion, centering of the mind and body.

  • What can I expect during a Thai Massage session?

    Thai massage is usually done on a padded mat on the floor and a session typically lasts 60 minutes to two hours. No oil is applied, so you are fully dressed. We only ask you to bring or wear comfortable clothing to the massage.

Each session promotes deeper muscle relaxation through the placement of smooth, water-heated stones at key points on the body.

The format and schedule of each program is flexible and subject to change based on your individual needs.

• Hypnosis

  • What is hypnosis?

    Hypnosis is yet another tool that you can employ to achieve wellness through balance. Hypnosis is not like the dramatized portrayal from television or movies, but rather a mechanism by which you can have greater control over your own thoughts and your body. Hypnosis is “a state of intensified attention and receptiveness, and an increased responsiveness to an idea or to a set of ideas.” Hypnosis allows for a state of heightened openness, receptivity, and focus. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. Our clients use hypnosis as they seek to improve their lives by: Quitting smoking, Stopping overeating, Controlling anxiety.

  • How hypnosis works

    Hypnosis is a natural process that we enter into everyday whether we realize it or not. For example, every time we become engrossed in a novel or a motion picture, we are in a natural hypnotic state. In hypnosis the conscious mind is by-passed and the subconscious mind is accessed.

  • What to expect in a hypnosis session

    The initial session typically lasts between 75 and 90 minutes. During this time, an assessment of the client’s situation and evaluation of the client’s goals will are made. The process of hypnosis is reviewed and the work begins. The session will end with a short debriefing and homework to reinforce the work done in the session. Subsequent sessions are one hour and will focus on the hypnotic state work with a brief check-in and close-out. Although every person is different three sessions are often ideal to address adequately an issue.

• Topics to be covered

  • Self-Hypnosis

    Self-hypnosis is a great tool for creating a healthier you. In these sessions, you will become empowered to apply self-hypnosis in your everyday life. Control anxieties, fears or reduce and eliminate bad habits. You will experience, learn and practice how to apply hypnotic techniques to specific goals of your life. Reach new heights and explore deeper levels of change by connecting the mind and the body.

  • Weight Management

    The key to a healthy body starts with a motivated and focused mind. In these sessions, we will work with you to identify your particular goals. Then we will identify habits or behavior that is blocking your progress. We will customize a plan to help you replace unhealthy habits with new, life giving ones. These sessions are designed to help you live into the healthy person you desire to be.

  • Stress Reduction

    We will develop a customize plan to reduce the particular stressors in your life. Then we will help redirect your focus, energy and motivation toward the life you want. You will learn how to take these techniques into various places you enter. In these sessions we will help you engage your imagination to gain peace and relaxation in any environment.

  • Acupuncture Circle with Alisha Juliano

    Please join us for a relaxing experience with the Ancient Art of Acupuncture. All are welcome to receive Auricular (or Outer Ear) Acupuncture. We will gather in a group setting. Registration is encouraged but drop in’s are welcomed (the idea is for you to feel free to come as your body/mind needs). In the Chinese medical model, the ear is a hologram of the entire body and organs. Your acupuncturist will place 5 pins to support your vital organs – toning down the sympathetic nervous system and supporting the digestive, parasympathetic nervous system, the heart, the kidneys, the liver, and the lungs. This type of acupuncture is an especially helpful and easy way for unwinding and relaxing, to come to a meditative or inner yin state, to reduce cravings (from smoking, sugar, etc), to help anxiety and sleep. There will be chairs, mats, and bolsters to support a comfortable seated position. We will provide relaxing music and a centering poem will be shared. Other acupuncture points may be considered on a case-by-case basis and depending on the amount of participants.”
