Through a release of holding patterns, acupuncture restores the body and helps with both mental and physical disharmonies. A key component of TCM, acupuncture supports the smooth flow of “Qi,” via the insertion of needles along various energetic channels on the body. “Qi” translates directly as “air,” but is understood as the life force and energy flow within.

Your primary visit includes an acupuncture session and a comprehensive intake in order to determine the best method of treatment.

Through a release of holding patterns, acupuncture restores the body and helps with both mental and physical disharmonies. Follow-up acupuncture treatments vary from patient to patient. Your acupuncturist will determine your course of treatment in regards to frequency and focus. Every patient is different, therefore frequency changes based on the individual and their needs.

NOTE: If this is your first acupuncture appointment at Boketto, book as a 90-minute NEW CLIENT session.

Discharging the static of everyday life not only brings a felt sense of wellness but also bolsters your ability to fight dis-ease. Building this resilience is always important, but especially so now. Though we’ll inquire about what bothersome symptoms you’re currently experiencing (back pain, insomnia, headaches, etc.), they’ll be considered secondary to privileging your nervous system.

NOTE: Currently, Jelena is not accepting new patients.

Cupping therapy is a complementary treatment to acupuncture, in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. Cupping serves many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation, and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.

Cupping has been around for thousands of years and traces its roots to one of the oldest medical textbooks, Ebers Papyrus, which was written in 1550 BC.
