10 Session Program...$630.
$25. for any additional treatment added on per session
Developed at Shanghai TCM University, this system utilizes intensive Acupuncture treatments to balance out the endocrine system and improve metabolism. Currently used in treatment centers throughout China, it has achieved great popularity for its' success and simplicity.
Through intensive applications of acupuncture, the recipient experiences a change in body chemistry that fires up the hormonal systems, creating naturally improved metabolic function, calming cravings and reducing potential eating imbalances.

Upon completing the program, you will be able to continue enjoying the longer-term benefits of these treatments. Thereafter, it is recommended that occasional, follow-up treatments be used as needed.
An added benefit to this series is that your wellbeing will be enhanced in serveral other ways: improved digestion, better sleep, less stress, reduced aches and pains, and more...just one of the many ways that Acupuncture affects the body holistically.
This program is best when done twice a week for five weeks, but it can also be done once a week over a 10 week period. May also be used in tandem with our other nutritional programs.

Hypnosis Therapy for Health & Wellbeing
$150 per private session
Hypnotherapy is an all-natural healing system that utilizes principles of deep, meditative relaxation to induce an "Alpha" state of consciousness (very relaxed, expansive awareness), and after further training, to the "Theta" stage where very deep relaxation and inner absorption take place.
It is during these stages of consciousness, that you are able to more easily confront your challenges and particular issues, whether they be emotional or physiological, and thereby create the state of being that will enable you to heal and reach your goals.
Hypnosis is about teaching you how to use a part of your mind that you may have neglected or cannot access due to habitual thinking or high stress levels. During a hypnosis session, you are always in full control. A difference between hypnosis and traditional therapy is that you need not tell the therapist, unless you desire, any of the situations or concerns you are working with internally.
Hypnosis fits somewhere between meditation and therapy. Like meditation, you will be in a deep state of inner focus and complete outward relaxation. However, like therapy, you will be confronting issues and challenges, although any issue that fits into a diagnostic category must be dealt with by a traditional therapist. Hyposis provides a blissful state and teaches you how to find it again when you need it.
Your first session is 2 hours long and subsequent sessions are between 90 minutes and 2 hours each.

Craniosacral Therapy

Upledger, D.O., O.M.M., craniosacral therapy enhances the body's natural healing processes and has been effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction.
The craniosacral therapist applies the gentlest of pressure to specific areas throughout the body to achieve maximum results. The technique is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease and sustain overall health. Its non-invasive approach is especially suited for anyone undergoing cancer treatments or other similar, medical care. Craniosacral therapy also has the added benefit of inducing very deep relaxation.
Craniosacral Therapy is subtle in style, but has been effective for helping to treat a wide range of conditions, such as back pain, fibromyalgia, anxiety, sleep disorders, ADD, TMJ, and much more.
Craniosacral therapy is suitable for older children and adults of all ages.

Reiki

Studies show that Reiki enhances the healing process. It is safe treatment that is highly recommended for persons undergoing medical treatments.
