Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting sterile needles at specific points to rebalance energy flow and promote healing. Scientific studies confirm its effectiveness in reducing pain, improving blood flow, and balancing hormones. Our practitioners treat fertility issues, chronic pain, and stress-related conditions using this ancient technique.
Massage Therapy
Registered Massage Therapists provide hands-on treatment for soft tissue and joint conditions. This therapy helps manage sports injuries, back pain, and stress through manual techniques combined with rehabilitative exercises. Most extended medical plans cover these treatments for pain management and prevention.
Mindfulness Classes
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) classes teach present-moment awareness techniques developed at UMass Medical School. These evidence-based practices help reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation through meditation training with experienced facilitators.
Fertility Support
Specialized acupuncture and herbal treatments optimize fertility by improving reproductive organ blood flow and hormone balance. Our practitioners collaborate with local fertility clinics to support natural conception and assisted reproductive technologies like IVF for both male and female factors.
Prenatal Care
Acupuncture and gentle bodywork address common pregnancy discomforts like morning sickness and back pain. Practitioners use specialized pregnancy pillows for comfort while providing care throughout all trimesters, including labor preparation and postpartum recovery support.
