Discover a natural and effective way to find lasting relief from allergies, sensitivities, and chronic inflammation through our Allergy & Immune Reset Treatment. This powerful session blends the principles of Chinese medicine, energetic medicine, and kinesiology to restore balance to your immune system and bring your body back into harmony.

Rather than masking symptoms, this holistic treatment identifies and addresses the root cause of allergic and inflammatory responses. Using muscle testing, a gentle and non-invasive diagnostic tool, we determine the key substances or energetic imbalances that are triggering your body’s immune reaction. Whether it’s food sensitivities, environmental allergens, or hidden stressors, this step reveals what’s truly behind your inflammation and allergy patterns.

Once identified, the body is gently exposed to a safe, energetic level of the substance while specific acupressure points are stimulated. This process helps to “retrain” the immune and nervous systems — teaching the body to recognize that the substance is not a threat. Over time, the immune system learns to respond appropriately, reducing reactivity, inflammation, and discomfort.

To further support this transformation, the session concludes with a customized acupuncture treatment tailored to your body’s needs. These acupuncture points promote detoxification, calm inflammation, balance the immune system, and help integrate the new, harmonious response pattern established during the acupressure phase.

Clients often experience clearer breathing, improved digestion, reduced sinus congestion, calmer skin, and a greater overall sense of wellbeing. With continued care, the body becomes more resilient and adaptive — allowing you to live comfortably and confidently, free from constant allergic flare-ups or immune system overreactions.

This treatment is ideal for anyone seeking natural allergy relief, immune system balancing, or a holistic approach to allergy treatment that works with the body, not against it. It’s especially beneficial for those dealing with:

Seasonal or environmental allergies

Food sensitivities and intolerances

Autoimmune tendencies

Chronic inflammation or fatigue

Unexplained skin or digestive issues

Experience how Chinese medicine and energy healing can retrain your immune system and restore balance from within — so your body can thrive in harmony with its environment.

Tuina Bodywork + Acupuncture

Experience the deeply restorative power of Tuina bodywork and acupuncture, a transformative treatment that combines hands-on therapeutic massage with the balancing effects of acupuncture to restore the natural flow of energy throughout the body. This integrative approach from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) addresses both the physical and energetic roots of pain, tension, and imbalance — helping you feel grounded, revitalized, and renewed from the inside out.

Tuina (pronounced “twee-nah”) is an ancient Chinese therapeutic bodywork technique that uses rhythmic massage, acupressure, stretching, and gentle mobilization to stimulate the body’s meridians and energy pathways. Unlike traditional Western massage, Tuina is designed not only to relax muscles but to activate the body’s self-healing mechanisms. It helps to release stagnation, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and guide energy (Qi) back into proper flow.

Following Tuina, your treatment is complemented by a personalized acupuncture session tailored to your body’s needs that day. The acupuncture component enhances and extends the effects of the bodywork by opening energetic channels, calming the nervous system, and supporting deeper internal balance. Together, these two modalities work synergistically — Tuina prepares the body by freeing tension and moving Qi, while acupuncture guides the energy to settle and restore equilibrium.

This combination is especially effective for:

Chronic pain and muscle tension

Neck, shoulder, and back stiffness

Headaches or TMJ tension

Stress, anxiety, or nervous system dysregulation

Digestive or sleep disturbances

Postural or movement imbalances

During your session, you’ll experience a flow between active and deeply restorative techniques — from focused manual therapy to moments of stillness and energetic reset through acupuncture. Each treatment is customized to your body’s presentation and rhythm, leaving you with an overall sense of calm, openness, and vitality.

Beyond pain relief, clients often describe feeling lighter, more centered, and more at ease after this treatment — as if the body and mind are finally working together again. With regular sessions, Tuina and acupuncture help retrain the nervous system, improve posture and movement, and sustain lasting harmony in the musculoskeletal and energetic systems.

If you’re seeking a natural and holistic therapy for pain relief, stress reduction, or body realignment, this integrated Tuina + Acupuncture treatment offers the perfect blend of hands-on healing and energetic restoration.
