Physical symptoms and discomfort are often the nervous system’s signal that balance is needed. Whether you are navigating back or neck pain, joint problems, sciatica, migraines, menstrual irregularities, menopause, immune imbalances, skin conditions, cardiovascular tension or other issues, treatment works to gently clear blockages, restore healthy circulation, and rebalance the body.
At the same time, this treatment deeply calms the autonomic nervous system, quieting the fight or flight response, easing digestive distress, and supporting deep, restful sleep.
Personalized evaluation to identify underlying constitutional patterns.
Ultra-fine needles placed with gentle precision.
Undisturbed rest allowing the nervous system to shift into deep parasympathetic repair.
Gentle, targeted needle therapy to clear musculoskeletal blockages, calm the nervous system, and restore baseline health.
A specialized 60-minute integrated session: 1/2 acupuncture and 1/2 energy field rebalancing to release physical and emotional tension and promote nervous system coherence.
Acupuncture works by treating root constitutional imbalances while alleviating active symptoms. Commonly treated conditions include:
Many patients experience a noticeable shift in symptoms and a deep sense of calm after their first session. For acute issues, a 3-session series often stabilizes the body; for longstanding or complex conditions, a 6-session foundational series is recommended to support lasting systemic change.
We use ultra-fine, hair-thin needles designed for gentle, comfortable placement. Most patients feel only a fleeting, subtle sensation or a warming heaviness as energy shifts, quickly giving way to deep relaxation. It is very common to fall into a restful sleep during treatment.
Please wear loose, comfortable clothing that can easily roll up past your knees and elbows. We recommend having a light snack before your session rather than arriving on an empty stomach, and staying well hydrated afterward.
A nurturing pathway through every stage of your reproductive journey. From optimizing menstrual health, cycle flow, and ovulation to enhancing natural fertility and complementing IVF/IUI cycles with targeted embryo-transfer protocols.
During pregnancy, treatments can ease nausea, pelvic tension, back pain, and anxiety while promoting maternal and fetal wellbeing. Postpartum, gentle treatments help restore vitality, nourish circulation, and encourage the body’s natural recovery.
Choose this add-on for a gentle energetic connection to tune into your baby in the womb, explore their unique personality and essence, and deepen your bond.
Targeted acupuncture points tailored specifically for your hormonal phase, uterine environment, and pregnancy relief.
A specialized 60-minute integrated session: 1/2 fertility acupuncture and 1/2 energy field rebalancing to release pelvic tension, clear emotional blocks, and promote nervous system coherence.
"These sessions helped me sense my daughter, her energy, humor and presence, even before she was born. It was profoundly connecting."
"I had my baby early Sunday morning! He is fantastic, so chill and thriving!"
"Back in February after a miscarriage I wanted to get a deeper connection with my future baby’s spirit before they were earthside. We were able to work energetically to connect with baby before I even knew I was pregnant."
"We loved connecting with our son through your intuitive magic! Thanks so much for your time and wondrous gifts!"
"Here we are five years later with my son and I am just so grateful for YOU."
"We started this during fertility treatments and it transformed how I felt in my body, softer, more trusting, like I was truly not alone in it anymore."
"I was trying to get pregnant and my cycle had not returned since the birth of my daughter. After sessions with Hayley my cycle returned within 2 months and by the 3rd month I was pregnant! Highly recommend her!"
"I saw you in 2022 connected to embryo transfer. I got pregnant and have a wonderful baby who is 2! I am now trying for a sibling and will book in with you!"
"I'm 13 weeks tomorrow! The scans have all looked good so far. I have thought of your words often and it gives me lots of reassurance!"
"Our son surprised us by arriving early on Friday! We’re so happy and delighted about this new life together as a family. I can’t wait to introduce you to him!"
Acupuncture is a gentle and safe treatment throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period.
During early pregnancy, treatment is tailored to specific points prioritizing safety. Sessions focus on nourishing the mother, promoting relaxation, and easing common pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness, acid reflux, pelvic girdle tension, sciatica, insomnia, and anxiety, while encouraging healthy circulation to the placenta and baby.
As pregnancy progresses, treatments are tailored to the changing needs of mother and baby, helping ease pelvic and back tension, swelling, discomfort, sleep disturbances, and emotional stress while preparing the body for birth.
Acupuncture works on multiple levels to optimize reproductive wellness:
For natural fertility or preparing for an IVF/IUI cycle, starting 2 to 3 months prior to active conception is ideal, as an egg takes roughly 90 days to mature. However, acupuncture provides immediate circulatory and nervous system benefits at any point in your journey.
For pregnancy, treatments can start in the 1st trimester for nausea and miscarriage prevention support, continue through the 2nd and 3rd trimesters for comfort, and transition from week 36 onwards into pre-birth labor preparation.
Pre-Birth Labor Preparation (from Week 36): Weekly pre-birth sessions gently prepare the pelvis and cervix for labor. Treatments focus on cervical ripening, relaxing pelvic floor muscles and ligaments, optimizing optimal fetal head positioning, and reducing maternal stress to facilitate a smoother, more efficient delivery.
Breech Protocol (typically Weeks 34–36): If your baby is in a breech or posterior position, we utilize traditional Moxibustion (gentle warming herbal therapy over acupoint BL67 on the outer pinky toe) alongside constitutional acupuncture. This non-invasive, comfortable technique stimulates fetal activity and relaxes the uterine muscle, encouraging the baby to rotate head-down naturally.
The postpartum period ('the fourth trimester') requires deep replenishing of vital Qi and Blood. Gentle postpartum treatments nourish maternal circulation, support healthy milk supply, alleviate physical soreness from nursing and labor, and balance post-birth hormones to soothe the nervous system and protect against emotional exhaustion.
A luxurious, non-invasive anti-aging alternative to injectables that works from the inside out. Utilizing the renowned Mei Zen cosmetic acupuncture technique, ultra-fine micro-needles target specific facial points to release held tension, soften fine lines, and stimulate natural collagen and elastin remodeling.
Each treatment is paired with body acupuncture points for systemic relaxation, boosting cellular vitality for natural radiance and tone.
Collagen firming, enhanced plumpness, and improved facial symmetry.
Pronounced definition along the jawline and cheek lifting.
Unlike injectables that freeze facial muscles or fill tissue with synthetic substances, Mei Zen cosmetic acupuncture stimulates your body's natural production of collagen and elastin, improves micro-circulation, and tones underlying facial muscles. It softens fine lines, lifts sagging contours, and enhances overall skin radiance while preserving your authentic, natural facial expression.
We use ultra-fine, hair-thin intradermal needles specifically manufactured for delicate facial skin. Most patients report feeling little to no discomfort, often falling into a deeply restful sleep during treatment.
While bruising is rare, pinpoint bruising can occur due to the rich vascular network of the face, and duration depends on individual vascular health. Patients who know they bruise easily often benefit from taking homeopathic Arnica Montana throughout their series.
Yes. We simply recommend waiting at least 4 weeks after receiving Botox or dermal fillers before having cosmetic acupuncture. Once settled, cosmetic acupuncture helps improve overall tissue vitality, circulation, and muscle tone around treated areas.
Because the Mei Zen protocol triggers collagen synthesis and muscle memory remodeling, results from a full 10-session series typically last from 1 to 2 years, especially when supported by monthly maintenance sessions and good hydration.
To support lasting results, patients who complete a 10-session series receive 20% off all future single follow-up maintenance sessions.
Celluma® is an FDA-cleared, medical-grade LED light therapy that delivers scientifically calibrated wavelengths of infrared and near-infrared light deep into facial tissue. It enhances the mitochondrial ability of your cells to produce ATP (cellular energy), accelerating collagen synthesis, speeding tissue regeneration, and enhancing overall skin vitality.
Sculpting Gua Sha utilizes smooth stone contouring tools applied along facial meridian pathways and lymph channels, paired with nourishing organic cold-pressed sweet almond oil infused with your choice of organic therapeutic essential oils. It releases jaw and facial tension, drains fluid stagnation, and boosts micro-circulation for a plumping lift.
Every face is biologically unique. Collagen remodeling and muscle response vary based on age, lifestyle, skin tone, and stress levels. While 10 sessions is the standard for lasting transformation, mature or sun-exposed skin may benefit from an extended 12–14 session course. Hayley continually assesses your tissue responsiveness throughout your series to calibrate the ideal treatment arc for you.
