Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles at strategic points to stimulate healing and balance. This traditional practice effectively addresses chronic pain, stress, and various health conditions by restoring qi flow. Our registered acupuncturists combine this ancient technique with modern medical understanding to create personalized treatment plans that promote natural healing processes in the body.
Massage Therapy
Registered massage therapy addresses musculoskeletal issues through manual manipulation of soft tissues. Our therapists use various techniques to relieve chronic pain, improve circulation, and reduce stress. Each session includes personalized self-care recommendations and therapeutic exercises to enhance treatment outcomes and prevent future injuries while promoting overall wellness.
Sports Acupuncture
Sports acupuncture specializes in treating sports injuries and chronic pain through trigger point needling. This approach combines Western physical assessment with traditional Chinese medicine techniques. Electro-acupuncture enhances pain relief by stimulating natural endorphin production, while cupping and gua sha techniques improve circulation and accelerate recovery from athletic injuries and overuse conditions.
Herbal Medicine
Traditional Chinese herbal medicine uses customized combinations of medicinal ingredients to restore internal balance. These formulas address various health concerns from digestive issues to hormonal imbalances. Our practitioners create individualized prescriptions based on comprehensive diagnostic assessments, adjusting formulations as patients' conditions improve through regular follow-up consultations to ensure optimal therapeutic effectiveness.
Holistic Nutrition
Holistic nutrition focuses on personalized dietary plans that address root causes of health issues. Our practitioners develop customized meal plans and supplementation protocols for digestive health, hormonal balance, and chronic conditions. Packages include ongoing support and educational resources to help patients implement sustainable lifestyle changes that promote long-term wellness through whole food nutrition.

Kristina is a credit to her profession with her knowledge and dedication to her client. Being able to feel immediate relief from headaches, digestive complaints and waking during the night are a direct result of her practical expertise gently applied during our sessions. I would recommend Kristina.

I met with Kristina Adams for acupuncture on what I thought was an unhealable injury (4 years of trying various treatments with no luck). Kristina's knowledge and technique worked like magic and after only 5 treatments I finally feel back to normal! Highly recommend her!!
