Acupuncture is an old and powerful system that uses small needles to reduce inflammation, help with fluid metabolism, and reduce pain (injury, soreness, tension). It can be relaxing and used as a way to manage stress and lower cortisol. Lowering cortisol can result in better sleep, clear mind and ease anxiety.

Cupping is great for chronic tension in the upper back and neck but can be used on other parts of the body (IT band). By placing suction, a pilling or vacuum effect is created, and old stagnation (pain, inflammation, tightness) is pulled out and new blood can circulate and refresh the area. I typically use a combination of glass (commonly referred to as fire cupping) and plastic cups (plastic cups are easier for certain areas of the body that getting a good seal might be harder).

Coaching for wellness using basic principles of lifestyle found in Chinese philosophy and medicine. Sometimes having a perspective or support other than just ourselves can help you get to where you want to be faster than going alone. I utilize the S.M.A.R.T. goal system.
