Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments restore health by directing energy flow through the body's meridians using fine needles. This traditional Chinese medicine technique addresses pain management, emotional balance, and various health conditions by stimulating the body's natural healing processes. Our certified practitioners tailor treatments to individual needs, helping patients achieve symptom relief and improved well-being through regular sessions.
Botanical Medicine
Botanical medicine utilizes plant-based remedies to support the body's healing processes. Our naturopathic doctors formulate customized herbal treatments that work synergistically with the body to address acute and chronic conditions while considering potential herb-drug interactions. This natural approach enhances overall health while targeting specific health concerns through evidence-based herbal formulations.
Food Sensitivity Testing
Our comprehensive food sensitivity testing identifies dietary triggers that may contribute to various health issues. Through elimination diets and blood testing, we help patients discover personalized nutrition plans that alleviate symptoms and improve overall wellness. This diagnostic approach addresses digestive issues, skin conditions, and systemic inflammation through targeted dietary modifications.
Bowen Therapy
Bowen therapy is a gentle hands-on technique that realigns the body and promotes natural healing through targeted muscle manipulations. This non-invasive treatment addresses pain management and musculoskeletal issues by stimulating the nervous system's self-regulating mechanisms. Patients experience improved mobility and reduced discomfort through this holistic approach to physical wellness.
Emotional Freedom Technique
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) combines acupressure and cognitive therapy to address emotional and physical distress. Our practitioners guide patients through tapping sequences that help release negative emotions and reduce stress responses. This evidence-based technique effectively manages anxiety, cravings, and trauma-related conditions while promoting emotional balance and resilience.

Report
I have been dealing with IBS and chronic gut issues since childhood. As I have aged, the issues have become more frequent and severe. Nothing was helping -I have been examined, scoped, xrayed, poked and prodded by a number of doctors and specialists over the years. There was never a concrete answer Its IBS and you just have to watch what you eat was a constant frustrating refrain. My issues started affecting all areas of my life my family, marriage and job...I needed to get to the bottom of what was happening and get the core root fixed not just the symptoms. I met Dr. Kira

Good evening, I have been working with Dr. Kira for about 4 years, on many health issues, including Fybromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis & Stomach issues. She has helped me with my diet, changing foods that I was eating and even though they were healthy foods they weren't healthy for my body. Causing me so much pain and frustration. I'm now off of my medication for Fybromyalgia & have lots more energy my stomach doesn't hurt so much anymore; as well my IBS is not as much of an issue as it used to be. Thanks Dr. Kira for you kindness, wisdom, & for thinking out of the box to find creative solutions

Dr. Kira is wonderfully kind and professional. She has always taken an integrated approach to my health, looking after my physical and mental well being. She really takes the time to get to know you and looks at the big picture. She helped me work through my back injury, so I'm good as new. Also, she always makes time to fit me in to her schedule in my times of greater need.

Dr. Kira has been working with our family off an on for over 10 years. She finally helped our daughter combat her year long visits to hospitals for steroid medicine and puffers for her chronic croup by helping with her diet and supplementing her with what was necessary to help her become healthier and have stronger lungs. She is wonderful with kids and has also helped us with seasonal allergies, adrenal fatigue and the list goes on...Thank you Dr. Kira we recommend you over and over again to friends and family:)
