Complementary Medicine Personalized to Meet Your Needs

Acupuncture uses hair-thin, sterile needles at specific points to activate your body's natural healing responses. We evaluate whether your condition stems from local issues, systemic imbalances, or both – then select the precise combination of points to address all contributing factors. Your treatment integrates complementary therapies like cupping, bodywork, or moxibustion as needed, with an adaptable plan that evolves as you improve.

Zen Shiatsu is Japanese meridian-based bodywork that uses finger pressure and relaxed body weight along the same energy pathways as acupuncture. Performed fully clothed, this technique balances energy flow throughout your body, addressing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual symptoms simultaneously. Through rhythmic pressure and stretching, it releases tension, improves circulation, and shifts your nervous system into "rest, digest, and heal" mode—supporting your body's natural healing processes.

Your acupuncture treatment is personalized based on your specific condition. While acupuncture is the primary therapy, Kristine may incorporate additional techniques from her clinical toolbox during your session when clinically appropriate—including cupping for muscle tension, gua sha for fascial restrictions, moxibustion for chronic conditions, Chinese herbal medicine for sustained healing, nutritional therapy for biochemical support, and crystal therapy for energetic balance. These aren't separate services but integrated techniques selected based on what your body needs for optimal healing each visit.

Qigong combines gentle movement, breathwork, and focused intention to cultivate vital energy and balance. As a certified 1000 Hands Buddha Qigong instructor, Kristine teaches this specific form developed for healing the heart—helping you process negative emotions and adverse experiences while building a more resilient, better-regulated nervous system. This movement-based meditation practice promotes emotional healing and a more compassionate understanding of reality.
