We develop highly targeted, results driven services for each individual’s unique health concerns. After your initial consult appointment, you will have a clearly defined, goal oriented, customized treatment plan.

ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points along the body to achieve therapeutic results. Acupuncture treats many conditions including pain relief, mental and emotional wellness, gynecological concerns, digestive and immune support, skin conditions and so much more.

Ancient wisdom, modern approach

CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE

Chinese Herbal Medicine treats many conditions and paired with your weekly acupuncture treatments delivers powerful results for most concerns or conditions. Chinese Herbal medicine is always customized  and closely monitored to treat the needs of each individual.

COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE

Cosmetic acupuncture, also known as facial acupuncture, is a natural and minimally invasive treatment addressing primarily aesthetic concerns. We insert individual thin, sterile acupuncture needles, causing micro-injury to the skin. This technique stimulates collagen production, improves blood circulation, reduces inflammation, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, contours the jowls, brightens facial complexion, and tightens your skin to help you achieve your well-aging goals without botox or fillers. 
For best results It's highly recommended to do 2 sessions per week for 5 weeks for a total of 10 treatments. This treatment is typically done 1-2 times per year with monthly treatments in between to maintain results.

* Best for Lifting + Contouring

HOLISTIC MICRO-NEEDLING

*Micro-needling is a cosmetic procedure performed with a device or pen, that uses a group of small, sterilized needles to prick the skin.
The purpose of this treatment is to generate new collagen and skin tissue to smooth, firm, tone skin appearance of acne, scars, dark spots, wrinkles, and large pores. 
*Holistic Micro-needling takes this traditionally face only treatment to a whole other level. You will receive a full body acupuncture treatment to enhance the results of the treatment. 
Treatments are spaced about by 4-6 weeks. You can book a Cosmetic acupuncture session in between.

*Best for firming + Improving Skin Tone/ Texture

GUA SHA FACIAL

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, facial Gua Sha offers a myriad of benefits due to its ability to regulate the body's Qi or life energy, promoting overall wellness. It works on the principles of meridians and energy channels, aiming to unblock stagnation, boost circulation and decrease muscular tension, thereby alleviating issues like puffiness or inflammation on the face. Additionally, it fosters skin rejuvenation by promoting the production of collagen and elastin, leading to a more youthful and radiant appearance. Gua Sha Massage aids in relieving stress and tension stored in facial muscles, offering a sense of relaxation for your nervous system. The best part of gua sha, is that with proper instruction, it can be used at home, in between your cosmetic Acupuncture sessions.

*Best for decreasing puffiness + inflammation.

  • Alexis obtained her Master's degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from The Oregon College of Chinese Medicine in the year 2020. Prior to embarking on her journey to become an acupuncturist, she gained a wealth of experience as a Licensed Massage Therapist for 15 years, specializing in Precision Neuromuscular Therapy and Myofascial Release Techniques. Presently, Alexis holds certification in Mei Zen cosmetic acupuncture, showcasing her commitment to expanding her expertise in the field.

  • Welcome! I'm delighted to have this opportunity to share my story with you. My journey into the world of acupuncture and skincare began with a personal struggle that ultimately shaped my career path and fueled my passion for helping others.

    For years, I battled with endometriosis, a chronic and often painful condition. Frustrated with the limited options available and the lack of clear answers, I embarked on a mission to find alternative solutions for managing my symptoms and improving my overall well-being. It was during this search that I discovered the incredible benefits of acupuncture.

    Acupuncture provided me with much-needed relief from the pain and discomfort of endometriosis. Inspired by my own positive experience, I made the life-changing decision to pursue a career in acupuncture, with the goal of helping others who were facing similar challenges. I wanted to provide them with the resources, support, and clear answers that I had longed for during my own journey.

    Alongside my journey with endometriosis, I also developed a deep passion for skincare. Even as a child, I found joy in crafting my own skincare products using ingredients readily available in my kitchen. This passion only grew stronger as I got older, and in college, I found myself coaching friends and classmates on how to achieve healthier, more radiant skin.

    Recognizing the transformative power of acupuncture and skincare, I decided to combine these two passions into a holistic approach to wellness. By integrating the principles of acupuncture and my knowledge of skincare, I am able to provide my patients with comprehensive care that addresses both their physical and aesthetic needs.

    I am dedicated to staying at the forefront of my field, continuously expanding my knowledge and skills through ongoing education and training. My ultimate goal is to empower my patients to take control of their health and beauty, providing them with personalized treatment plans and guiding them towards a state of balance and well-being.

    Thank you for joining me on this incredible journey. I look forward to being a part of your own path to health, happiness, and glowing skin. Together, we can discover the answers and resources you need to achieve your wellness goals.
