Acupuncture harnesses the body's innate ability to return to homeostasis. Rediscover your natural state of balance in a safe, comfortable, and relaxing environment. Acupuncture consists of the insertion of sterilized, disposable, thin needles into particular locations on the body to bring the body back into homeostasis.
Dry needling is a type of acupuncture that involves the insertion of acupuncture needles into tight bands in muscles known as "trigger points." Acupuncture needles are solid, sterilized, and made of stainless steel. Dry needling can be effective for patients of all ages, from all backgrounds. Dry needling is used exclusively to treat musculoskeletal pain.
Chinese herbology dates back over 2 millennia to between 475-202 BC. This natural therapy can provide relief from acute and chronic conditions with few to no side effects. Laura is trained in the art of Chinese herbology, which draws from nature to treat disease and stabilize the body without the use of synthetic chemicals.
Combining traditional therapies with modern-day knowledge, Laura takes bodywork beyond massage. Touch is one of our body's best ways of reconnecting with itself. Working with Laura will always involve safe and supportive touch. Depending on your condition, Laura will draw from a wide variety of bodywork techniques to leave you feeling your best.
Nutrition and lifestyle are key to your overall health, but there is no one-size-fits-all rule when it comes to what we eat and how we choose to live. What you need to live your best life is likely to be different than what your partner, mother, brother, daughter, or best friend needs. Laura works with each patient individually to develop an appropriate nutrition and lifestyle plan to bring your healthiest you into your daily life.

A friend recommended I see Laura because I was having pain in my hip from a running injury, though I didn't know what my injury was. I had never tried acupuncture before and didn't quite understand how it would help me. After meeting with Laura, she explained how acupuncture works and always does a thorough analysis before she begins treatment. Turns out it my injury was a stress fracture in the neck of my femur and Laura knew she could help calm my injury down along with recommending a supplement that would promote natural bone healing. In the past 7 weeks since my diagnosis, she has worked with

I have been seeing Laura for over two years and really can't recommend her enough. Not only is she kind and warm, but she is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She has always listened to my concerns and found solutions. She has helped me through a lot of pain, and I will be forever grateful! Thanks, Laura!

I have gone to Acupuncturists in the past, and no one compares to Laura! I began seeing Laura at the beginning of the year and started seeing results after my first few sessions. Laura is kind, compassionate, and truly cares about the well being of her patients. When I walk into her space, her positive energy, and genuine concern make me feel instantly at ease. Seeing an Acupuncturist can be intimidating, scary, and stressful--but trust me, Laura is the one to see to ensure you don't feel any stress! I can not thank Laura enough for changing my life! If you are at all interested in healing yourself

Working with Laura has been such a worthwhile investment in my health! She is patient, kind, professional, sharp, and, most importantly, she pays attention to you. I came in for some foot pain that prevented me from running and I saw improvements after our first session. Then we started working on some food allergy issues and her knowledge and ideas astounded me; it wasn't just the acupuncture but the entirety of her care practice that helped me reevaluate my diet and make better decisions. See her, see her now!

I have been seeing Laura for several months now and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She has successfully treated a bladder condition that has plagued me for years. Additionally, she has helped mitigate a host of other issues.
She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and compassionate and always listens intently to what is going on. I feel better the moment I walk into her office. I refer people to her without hesitation.

I've been seeing Laura regularly for over a year now and have no plan of stopping. I have had chronic sinus issues for 12 years, and in the last year my sinuses have become more manageable thanks to Laura (I've tried all the other ENT stuff - and Laura's acupuncture and herb recommendations are the only things that have truly helped). She's also helped me with hip issues, gut stuff, sadness, and my general well being. She's dedicated to helping her patients feel their best and it shows. Highly recommend!
