ACUPUNCTURE & FACIAL SERVICES

  • Acupuncture is the practice of using fine, filiform needles to connect with the body, correct imbalances, and restore the body’s normal vitality.

    Initial Session 90min … $125

    Follow-up Session 60min … $90

  • Gua sha is an ancient Chinese practice that’s thought to promote the flow of Qi, or energy, in the skin. The technique involves gently scraping a tool (usually made of polished jade or rose quartz) over the face and neck in an upward sweeping motion. The pressure that’s applied to the skin via the gua sha tool causes a level of friction that improves circulation and increases blood flow to the area, moves lymph fluids, increases collagen, and releases facial tension.

    The results are less puffiness, toned jaw and neckline, reduction of fine lines and a glowing complexion! Each gua sha facial includes Celluma red light therapy, hand and foot acupressure massage and the application of My Zen skincare products.

    *Included in our monthly Bodywork Membership!

    45min… $90

  • This system utilizes an ancient needling technique that is very superficial. This very delicate and specific needling brings Qi and Blood to the face and can improve or increase the collagen and elastin in the skin. Each session also includes acupuncture points on the body to treat the internal causes of aging.

    90min Initial Facial Rejuvenation… $165

    60min Follow Up Facial Rejuvenation… $140

    Cosmetic Rejuvenation 10 Pack… $1200

  • Microneedling Therapy also called Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of the AcuMicro pen. The action of the pen allows the needles to puncture the skin and create a controlled injury at a specific depth. Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the bodies natural healing process to fill these micro wounds by producing new collagen and elastin in the dermis and epidermis. Leaving your skin firmer, smoother, glowing and ultra hydrated!

    60min Microneedling… $295

    Microneedling 3 Pack… $800

ADDITIONAL SERVICES

  • Cupping is an effective way to loosen tense muscles and reduce pain. It is the reverse of massage. Rather than using pressure to move the body, cupping uses a vacuum to open up tissue and allow better blood flow to heal the body.

    30min … $50

  • Cupping can be added to any acupuncture or Eastern Integrative Massage service. Cupping deeply yet softly worked the muscle tissue to loosen connective tissue restrictions, stimulate blood and lymph flow and can break up stagnant toxins. It’s been known to sedate the central nervous system as a relaxing therapy and may offer quick tension relief.

    Service add-on… $20

  • Enjoy the diverse benefits of our CBD infused massage! The endocannabinoid receptor system plays a significant role in regulating neurotransmitter function. Studies published in the British Journal of Pharmacology and elsewhere have reported that some terpenes have been identified as having allosteric modulator properties, capable of slowing down neurotransmitter signaling. These findings help us understand the therapeutic relevance and benefits that terpenes may have with pain perception and how they can support reductions in pain.
