STRESS RELIEF TREATMENT – SPECIAL OFFER $50

My clients call these mini-getaways. Experience 30-40 minutes of bliss cocooned in warmth, relaxing sounds and soothing scents created by local small businesses Luna Delgado Botanicals and Witchy Woman World Apothecary – with no one demanding your attention.

There are two options for this treatment.

Option 1 is a standard acupuncture treatment focused on relaxation and stress relief.  If you (or your loved one) would like other issues addressed besides stress relief, the value of the gift card can be used towards the price of a personalized treatment.

Bonus side effects of acupuncture may include:

  • Improved sleep;
  • More energy;
  • Mental clarity;
  • Reduction in pain;
  • Sense of calm and well-being; and,
  • Confidence in your body’s ability to function “normally”.

Option 2 is a vibrational sound therapy session with either ear magnets or needles on points for stress relief.

 

ROCK STAR CUPPING SESSION – SPECIAL OFFER $50

Let your inner rock star shine with a rock star cupping session! (If you don’t want star shaped cupping marks, hearts or traditional circles are available.) Cupping involves placing glass or plastic “cups” on the skin and creating a vacuum by suctioning out the air. Cupping enhances circulation, relieves pain and pulls out toxins from the body’s tissues – plus it looks cool!
