What we do
Acupuncture is a beautiful practice of energy exchange involving a practitioner, patient, needles, touch, and other modalities. This exchange is based on the intention of the practitioner and the acceptance of help by the patient. To this end, I view the practitioner as someone who stands beside the patient, using the needles to guide their body in the right direction. Acupuncture helps to remind your body, mind, and spirit where homeostasis lives and how to return there. Every body strives to be in homeostasis, and when life factors push the body off that course, the patient just needs a supportive guide to point them back in the right direction. Using subtle diagnostic techniques, we can focus on the patient as an individual person, not an illness. We are able to see all the symptoms in relation to each other so that the treatment can positively affect the person as a whole.
Individualized Healing
Our goal is to provide alternative medical care that will reverse and prevent disease using the fundamental healing principles of the body.
Sacred Scarab Acupuncture utilizes acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, reiki, light and heat therapy, and tui na (Chinese medical massage) to treat and support each patient. Additionally, we offer Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture sessions as an adjunctive therapy for those looking to restore collagen and ease fine lines and wrinkles in their face and neck.
