3,000 years of evidence-informed practice
Acupuncture is one of the most powerful modalities we have for regulating our mind-body connection.
We love acupuncture, because it has shown us time and time again how incredible of a tool it can be for promoting inner healing. Most of us are chronically stuck in fight or flight mode, which is when our body turns off our digestion, immune system, and critical thinking so that we can escape from danger. But what happens when we are always feeling this way? We experience indigestion, weakened immune systems, reproductive irregularities, brain fog, and increased inflammation.
Acupuncture has an interesting effect on body that promotes rest and digest- the parasympathetic nervous system. This means that acupuncture will help reduce inflammation systemically, improve sleep and digestion, which reduces our stress hormones.
All of this brings us to a deeper state of overall wellness. Less pain in our physical selves, less anxiety and psychological stress in our psychology, which is how it has such profound impact on our life.
We (Sara and Jason) know the power of acupuncture because we ourselves live it. It has helped us overcome pain and anxiety in our own lives, which is why we are so passionate about utilizing it with our patients.
What should I schedule?
If you’ve never had acupuncture with us at AHA, schedule your Acupuncture Initial Intake here and we will be able to deep dive into your health history to create a treatment plan for you. We want to know you holistically- not just the one thing that is currently disrupting your life. Understanding how you handle stress, how your digestion works, how well you sleep, and how your past trauma has shaped you as a person, will improve the quality of care we are able to provide.
If your current pain (either physical or emotional) is severe and interrupts your daily activities, our 90-minute Return Acupuncture session allows the proper time to apply acupuncture (often face-down and face-up) in addition to the other modalities we specialize in.
Most people would benefit the most with our 60-minute Return Acupuncture session when your discomfort is moderate to high. In addition to acupuncture, we provide either cupping therapy, guasha, or Pranic Healing (energy healing). Neither you, nor we feel rushed at any point during your treatment.
Our 45-minute Return Acupuncture appointments are a good option if you don’t need the additional bodywork. Many of our patients whose discomfort is low or manageable and just need some maintenance to reinforce their stability use this option.
Is financial health a concern?
We want to make acupuncture accessible to everyone, so we offer Community Acupuncture monthly for only $35. This is a very traditional way that acupuncture is done throughout Asia, where you rest in a room with several other people who are all having acupuncture at the same time. All of the proceeds on these offerings are donated to Atma Healing Arts, our nonprofit meditation and Pranic Healing Center.
