Our Healing Ecosystem
01
Acupuncture
Restore Balance. Relieve Pain. Renew Your Energy.
Acupuncture is a gentle, time-tested therapy that stimulates your body’s natural healing response. By placing ultra-thin, sterile needles at strategic points, we clear energetic blockages and improve circulation. Whether you are seeking relief from chronic pain, managing stress and anxiety, or looking to regulate your digestion and sleep, acupuncture supports your body in returning to its natural state of harmony.
02
Cupping (Fire & Suction)
Release Tension. Boost Circulation. Deep Tissue Renewal.
Think of cupping as a reverse massage. By placing specialized cups on the skin to create a gentle vacuum, this therapy draws fresh blood flow to tight muscles, breaks up stagnation, and accelerates cell repair. It’s an incredible tool for releasing stubborn physical tension, clearing out toxins, and promoting lymphatic drainage.

Testimonials
Olivia R.
Dr. Kirstin is truly an amazing acupuncturist. From the moment you walk in, she makes you feel comfortable, cared for, and heard. She is incredibly gentle with her treatments and always takes the time to really listen and understand what you are experiencing. What stands out most is how intentional and thoughtful she is with every treatment plan. You can tell that each session is carefully tailored and well thought out, rather than rushed or routine. Her bedside manner is exceptional- warm, compassionate, professional, and always welcoming with a smile. Not only is she kind and calming, but her treatments are also highly effective. I always leave feeling better physically and emotionally. I highly recommend Dr. Kirstin to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and truly dedicated acupuncturist.

I cannot recommend Kirstin enough. From my very first appointment, she took the time to truly understand my health history and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. I had never tried acupuncture before and was honestly pretty nervous, but her calming and reassuring approach immediately put me at ease. What stood out most was how much she genuinely cared not just about the treatment itself, but about educating me on the long-term health benefits and helping me better understand the practice as a whole. I always left feeling supported, informed, and cared for. Because of such a positive experience and the level of trust I have in her, I’ve already recommended her to several friends and family members. She is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and talented at what she does
Colin
I’ve been training hard for years between lifting and jiu jitsu, and my body has definitely taken a beating from injuries, soreness, and constant wear and tear. Kirstin has helped me tremendously throughout all of it with acupuncture and Chinese medicine. She has worked on everything from pain and tightness to recovery and mobility, and I can honestly say she’s made a huge difference in how my body feels and performs. There have been times I felt completely run down or beat up from training, and after treatments I noticed real relief and improvement. She genuinely cares about helping people heal and feel better. She takes the time to understand what’s going on instead of just treating symptoms. Her knowledge, professionalism, and ability to help the body recover naturally is something I’ve personally experienced for years. If you deal with chronic pain, sports injuries, stress, tension, or just want to feel healthier overall, I can’t recommend her enough.
Cory
I was treated by Dr. Connor multiple times and my experience was nothing short of extraordinary. As someone who was nervous to get treated for the first time, Kirstin approached my appointment with patience, care, and calmness. After just two sessions being treated for tension and insomnia, I immediately felt relief. When no other medication or procedure was working, Dr. Connor’s acupuncture and cupping provided me with immense comfort. If you ever have the chance to get treated by Dr. Connor, I highly recommend her!
