Services

Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves placing fine needles at specific points to restore balance and promote healing. This TCM practice addresses pain, stress, and chronic conditions by regulating qi flow. Sessions include personalized assessment and gentle treatment.

Traditional Chinese Medicine

Our TCM approach integrates acupuncture with holistic diagnosis methods like pulse and tongue analysis. We treat the whole person, considering physical, emotional, and environmental factors in creating customized wellness plans.

Bodywork

Bodywork includes acupressure and channel palpation to improve circulation and energy flow. This non-invasive technique complements acupuncture by addressing structural imbalances and promoting relaxation through gentle touch.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping uses controlled suction to release muscle tension and improve blood flow. This adjunct therapy enhances acupuncture's effects by targeting specific areas of discomfort and promoting deep tissue relaxation.

Chinese Massage

Chinese massage techniques stimulate acupoints and meridians to relieve pain and improve mobility. This therapy addresses musculoskeletal issues while supporting overall energy balance and stress reduction.

Fabienne is an attentive and skilled TCM practitioner. She has a holistic approach and does an excellent job of explaining the treatment she is providing. Fabienne takes the time to check in before and throughout the treatment and interventions. If you are at all hesitant or unsure about acupuncture I highly recommend working with Fabienne.

I had the privilege of receiving treatments from Fabienne when we were both acupuncture students. At that time, in the four months I was able to see her, we made so much incredible progress. I discovered things about myself and within my body that were key in making significant healing steps, and also learned some very helpful tools from Fabienne that I still use today, and now pass on to my patients.

To say her treatments were impactful feels like an understatement. I highly, highly, highly recommend Fabienne, as she was so incredibly skilled as a student - I can't imagine how deeply she's helping patients today!
