Our Treatments

  • Very fine needless are inserted into the skin to produce a gentle healing response. Most patients describe feeling a mild sensation, that is very relaxing.

  • These small charcoal sticks are a common tool used to treat muscle and joint stiffness, especially in cool or cold climates. This treatment works well for people who often experience cold sensations in their body, especially in the feet.

  • Glass cups can be placed on the skin and left in place, for “stationary cupping,” or combined with massage oil for “mobile cupping.” These techniques are very helpful to relax over used muscles, especially on the back and shoulders.

Patient testimonials

  • I had never had acupuncture before, but Collin was excellent at walking me through the process. His gentle manner makes you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive. You get the sense he is really hearing what you are saying, unlike many visits to the doctor's office. Definitely recommend.

  • I went to see Collin after my back was in agony, couldn't believe it when i stood upright with no pain afterwards. He has a deep knowledge and understanding of his practice that you really feel. It was my first time getting acupuncture and won't be my last. He has a vast array of tools to help relieve the pain and keep it away, I'm still amazed how much it has helped. Such an Amazing guy. Thank you so much!

  • I've had the blessing to get Collin's treatment for 2 years and could not recommend him more. His empathy, warmth, care and professionalism are like no other. His sessions have led me to a lot of insight and allowed me to reconnect to my body in a wholesome and healthy way. He is really present and attentive making you feel safe and open to healing.
