We specialize in treating the interconnected nature of sleep and emotional issues. Treatments calm the nervous system while addressing both sleep disruption and the anxiety patterns that cause it.
Many patients feel calmer and sleep better after 2-3 sessions, with significant improvement after 8-12 treatments. Our approach addresses both immediate relief and long-term resilience.
Acupuncture safely complements psychiatric medications and may help reduce side effects. We support your prescribing doctor and never recommend stopping medications without medical supervision.
Our comprehensive approach combines multiple modalities to address sleep and stress from different angles. Many patients find success after other treatments have failed.

“Within a few weeks of treatment, I started to notice my energy return. Not only physically, but mentally, emotionally and spiritually I felt more balanced, refreshed and nourished.
The combination of gentle healing hands, acupuncture, herbalism and compassionate listening has done much more than treat my fibroid — it has really supported my transition into motherhood.”
