Homeopathy is a scientific system of healing developed by a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann. Homeopathy is based on the principles of like cures like. For example, large doses of Ipecac given in the hospital will cause one to vomit, but given homeopathically it will inhibit this urge. It works on the emotional body, much like peeling the layers of an onion, allowing the innate vital force of the body to correct and imbalances.

I’ve had lower back problems for years, spasms, all that. Have never tried acupuncture before, so I was, of course, nervous. But Kristen is super nice and offered Lots of helpful advice, dietary solutions, exercises and tools. The treatment itself was both relaxing and relieving—all steps toward a strong and healthy body! Thank you! Would definitely recommend!

I do both massage and acupuncture at this location with two different individuals. Kristen long is amazing with physical and mental healing working with acupuncture and cupping. Haley does massage therapy there and works wonders. This place is a wonderful environment and I try to attend every six weeks.
