  • Acupuncture can help remove blockages and restore proper energy flow. It is one of the oldest, most widely used medical procedures in the world. Studies in humans and animals indicate that traditional Chinese acupuncture may stimulate the production of endorphins (our bodies' own painkillers) in the brain, spinal cord and pituitary gland. We offer both individual and community acupuncture.

  • A chiropractor is a doctor who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of spinal health and well-being related to the proper function of the neuromusculoskeletal system. Chiropractors help their patients reduce pain, increase movement, improve performance, and enhance their quality of life, without the use of drugs or surgery. They focus on diagnosis, prevention, and conservative care.

  • The Feldenkrais Method is a unique approach to improving physical movement and enhancing self-awareness. Developed by physicist Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, the method uses gentle sensory explorations of movement. These explorations tend to be pleasurable and relaxing and lead to improved coordination, reduced pain, and an overall increased sense of well-being.

    Feldenkrais works via neuroplasticity: the capacity of the brain to adapt throughout our lives. As slow movements bring one’s awareness to how different parts of the body relate, habitual tensions can be replaced with more optimal movement patterns. As the brain learns new habits, old tensions and chronic pains are often greatly reduced or disappear completely. People report both physical and psycho-emotional improvements from this work.

    Feldenkrais is appropriate for anyone.

  • Naturopathic Medicine blends the best of western medicine with very long-standing traditional systems of healing. Naturopathic physicians can be primary care providers or specialists, and are trained to care for all members of the family, including pregnant women, infants, children and the elderly. Our Naturopaths often use natural medicine and traditional healing tools, but they can also prescribe pharmaceuticals and help manage the drugs used in chronic conditions.

  • Our naturopaths and nurse practitioners offer primary care services. We provide person-centered, relationship-based care that considers the needs and preferences of our patients.

  • Each physical therapist on our team offers a unique area of specialty, though we are united in that we offer services that complement other layers of care a patient might be receiving, whether that be primary care, acupuncture or chiropractic. Currently our physical therapists offer manual therapy, orthopedics, lymphatic drainage, neuromuscular retraining, pelvic floor training and exercised based rehabilitation services.

  • Massage offers a unique way to shift physical patterns that can be the result of, or lead to, other imbalances energetically, mentally, emotionally or even spiritually. It also improves circulation, reduces stress, and boosts immunity. Our 2 massage therapist, Gloria and Karlygash (KG for short) use a combination of Swedish and deep tissue techniques to bring clients into release and relaxation.

  • Your skin is the largest organ in your body. An Infrared Sauna increases internal body heat and induces sweating. It offers the possibility of cleansing both toxins and microbes through the skin, and we recommend it as a detox tool for both chronic and acute conditions.

    The infrared heater in the sauna can penetrate the skin to a depth of three and a half inches. It is effective at temperatures between 100 and 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
