Acupuncture: Inserting hair-thin needles into specific spots throughout the body to help the body heal a wide range of disorders. The effect of needling therapy is to restore blood, nutrient and vital oxygen flow; assist tissue healing, relax muscles, relieve pain, and promote the ability of the body to maintain its biochemistry within specific ranges by adjusting to the demands or homeostasis.
Electro-acupuncture: Administering a mild current through acupuncture needles, usually by attaching wires from an electrical stimulating device to the handles of the acupuncture needles with small clips. This therapeutic approach can be used to stimulate an endorphin response.
Moxibustion: Burning a specific herb known as "moxa" (artemisia vulgaris) at specific acupuncture points to stimulate or enhance the function of points. It is generally used for conditions of weakness or cold. The herb used in the clinic is smokeless and odorless.
Cupping: Using a glass cup to create localized expansion of the tissue. A vacuum is created inside the cup, and then it is placed on the skin. The suction inside the cups is used to increase blood flow to painful areas and resupply nutrients.
Gua sha: Scraping the skin gently using a flat tool to enhance circulation and believed to remove toxic heat, blood and lymph from the body. This tool is pushed along the surface of the skin at a 45 degree angle to draw fluid to the skin’s surface from deep within the tissue.
Herbs and Supplementation: Prescribing Chinese herbs or supplements according to the individual’s constitution and presentation. This therapeutic approach can promote the body’s ability to heal and recover from illness. The body’s capacity to heal can be depleted by stress, too much or too little exercise, and inadequate rest or diet.
Psychological Acupressure (EFT): a needle-less technique that is quite gentle and allows you to achieve substantial relief. It is a technique that is related to acupuncture, except you don't use needles. Instead, you stimulate well-established meridian points on your body by tapping on them with your fingertips.
The premise of this work is rooted in the idea that "The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system." And because our physical pains and diseases are so obviously connected with our emotions, the following statement has proven to be true. "Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pain and diseases." This common sense approach draws its power from:
- time-honored Eastern discoveries that have been around for over 5000 years
- Albert Einstein, who told us back in the 1920's that everything (including our bodies) is composed of energy.
This technique can be used for phobias, stress, anxiety, traumatic memories, grief, addictions, fear, etc.

Light is the basis of all communication, information and the innate intelligence of the body. Microcurrent appears to act as a carrier for externally applied light, helping it penetrate more deeply in the body more easily. Dr. Perricone, author "7 Secrets to Beauty and Anti-aging", recommends light and current to rejuvenate the face naturally.
The microcurrent is said to match the strength of the body’s own electrical charge and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. This is a method of neuromuscular re-education and helps the body to minimize the facial patterns it has been holding for years.

Multi-vitamin-Number one ranked advanced cellular nutrition according to "Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements" by Lyle MacWilliams,BSc, MSc, FP. The only product of its kind in the Physician's Desk Reference. This line was developed by Dr. Myron Wentz, Ph.D in Microbiology, Immunology and founder of Gull Laboratories, the world leader in human cell culture and medical diagnostic technologies.
"The majority of multi-vitamins are woefully inadequate. In a recent study at Yale New Haven Hospital...many were made with the wrong ratios of nutrients altogether. Of the 257 vitamin products tested, only 49 were judged to be adequate"
Fast Fact: You'd have to eat 22,000 calories (yes, you read right, 22,000 calories) to get the same nutrients found in a daily dose of Dr. Myron's Wentz's unrivaled vitamins. Feel the difference today!
Massage (Provided by Kathy McLeod, CMT): a "hands-on" therapy in which muscles and other soft tissues of the body are manipulated to improve health and well-being. Varieties of massage range from gentle stroking and kneading of muscles and other soft tissues to deeper manual techniques. Massage has been practiced as a healing therapy for centuries in nearly every culture around the world. It helps relieve muscle tension, reduce stress, and evoke feelings of calmness. Although massage affects the body as a whole, it particularly influences the activity of the musculoskeletal, circulatory, lymphatic, and nervous systems.
In general, massage is believed to support healing, boost energy, reduce recovery time after an injury, ease pain, and enhance relaxation, mood, and well-being. In addition to being of value for many musculoskeletal problems such as low back pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and sprains and strains, massage may relieve depression in people with chronic fatigue syndrome, and improve self-image. In the workplace, massage has been shown to melt away stress and enhance mental alertness.
