Acupuncture PLUS
The energetic rebalancing of acupuncture, PLUS the grounding and relaxing benefits of massage and/or Chinese manual therapies (acupressure, shiatsu, cupping, gua sha, moxabustion). Together these therapies encourage the body, mind and nervous system to fully relax, for change and healing to take place more effectively. Herbal supplements may also be given if appropriate or requested.

Initial Visit: 1.75-2 hours $90*
Follow Up Visits: 1.5 hours $70*

Pregnancy/Prenatal Acupuncture
Being pregnant is both glorious and uniquely challenging. With a limited number of options for managing uncomfortable symptoms and "growing pains", acupuncture shines as a gentle, safe and extrememly effective form of medicine for supporting a healthy and enjoyable pregnancy. We offer a pregnancy specfic table, allowing mamas to relish the relaxation of "lying on their bellies".

Fees are the same as Acu Plus appointments (see above)
Birth Packages for Expecting Mamma's (see "special offers" below for more details)

Postpartum - Mama & Baby Treatments
One of the best ways to care for your baby is to remember to care for yourself as well! Below are 3 ways we try to help you do that...

1) During limited hours we can provide childcare while mama or papa gets some much needed rest and nourishment for mind and body. Provided at no extra cost :) /fees are same as above

2) Schedule back-to-back appts. for both Mama & Baby - I use a variety of gentle approaches (acupressure, Chinese pediatric massage, craniosacral) to encourage healthy develpment and/or address acute issues, and often teach parents a few things to do at home for empowerment and ongoing support. Mama or papa also get a treatment, which often times has a synergistic effect, as both parent and child can release and integrate their care in the same timeframe.

All Mama & Baby visits: 2.25 hrs $95 *

3) Baby's alternative wellness visit - I use a variety of gentle approaches (acupressure, Chinese pediatric massage, craniosacral) to encourage healthy develpment and/or address acute issues, and often teach parents a few things to do at home for empowerment and ongoing support.

All Baby Wellness visits: 1 hr $35 *

No Needles Treatment
For anyone who is especially needle sensitive, I will still assess your condition through the Chinese medicine lens, and then provide a healing and relaxing treatment using anything and everything I know EXCEPT needles (various types of massage, acupressure, cupping, gua sha, moxabustion).

All No Needle visits: 1 hr $55 *

Being immersed in the world of education for so many years, and now recently becoming a mamma, has truly shaped the person I am today. I now hope to give back to these communities, through the services of my profession, and to honor the hard work it takes to be committed to the process of education, birth and parenthood.

Pregnancy Package

As a Mamma of 2 sweet girls I intimately know the value of receiving good care through pregnancy as well as postpartum. Acupuncture can safely manage aches and pains during pregnancy, support a natural delivery and help strengthen and rebalance you after the birth.

Birth Packages - 4 visits for $220.00 ($280 value)

* Doulas & Midwives receive $15 off standard cost of appointments

Education Discount

My background and personal history show that I have spent a great deal of time as a student myself, learning from wonderful teachers, or as a teacher, working with many great students.

In the spirit of service and giving back to the community, I offer $15 off to those in the education field (students with a valid student ID, teachers, school counselors, tutors, outdoor educators and school administrators).

Please mention one of the above categories at your first appointment so the appropriate discounts can be applied.

Discounts are not applied if billing health insurance.
