ACUPUNCTURE
To begin your healing journey at The Loft we invite you to sit down, have a cup of tea and fill out some very brief paper work.
We will then meet privately to go over your health concerns and goals for treatment. Some of the questions may seem unrelated to what brought you in but rest assured, we are gathering information in order to come up with a comprehensive pattern that is tailored to your unique constitution! After we chat you can sink into one of the marvelous treatment beds for a 40-60 minutes ‘acu-nap’ – many people fall asleep during acupuncture and this is the time when your nervous system down-regulates and deep healing occurs.
We will come up with a comprehensive course of treatment to make sure you are moving towards your goals and health opportunities!
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management.
Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.

Release endorphins + Increase serotonin + Expedite healing + Enhance immunity
Acupuncture heals by harnessing your body’s inherent wisdom to reorganize your internal resources. That may sound esoteric, but think about it – we organize our closets, our finances, our schedules – why wouldn’t our bodies need the same kind of regular attention! Acupuncture is an effective medical treatment that can be used to eliminate pain, balance hormones, improve fertility, increase circulation, decrease inflammation, reset patterns of sleep and digestion and heal musculoskeletal injuries quickly.

fire cupping
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine and can be used to speed injury recovery, release tension and even to fend off a cold or flu. It can help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and as a type of deep-tissue massage. Cupping is like a reverse massage; instead of pushing into the tissue, it pulls so the blood flows through and clears stagnation and rapidly regenerates healthy cells. It can feel similar in intensity to a deep-tissue massage. Because the suction pulls from under the fascia layer it can help to loosen phlegm for a cough or congestion and detoxifies; it also aids in circulation of blood and lymph, increases blood flow to remove toxins and brings in fresh oxygen. There are many types of cupping, but fire cupping is the most traditional or original form in Chinese medicine. We use glass cups and the fire creates a strong suction to help remove “cold” in the body which is known to slow down circulation. Heat is nourishing for people who are drained and tired, so fire cupping can give you the boost you need!
Fire cupping should never hurt but it can leave marks on your back and shoulders. The color of these depends on your body and your blood flow and will heal anywhere between 1 day – 1 week. Don’t plan to wear a backless dress the day after cupping unless you want to show off your self care!

Ultimate Wellness Experience
You know that dreamy, floating feeling you get from acupuncture? Multiply that X’s 100 when you add LED Therapy. . . We will begin each treatment face down so that we can use the acupuncture to clear your nervous system and release what doesn’t serve you. We often describe this as taking the etch a-sketch and shaking it. After 20 minutes we will turn you face up and start to nourish and balance all of the meridians. The therapeutic LED uses the light through the skin as a source of energy to fuel the repair and rejuvenation of damaged cells, or, in the case of treating acne, kill bacteria. The energy stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, boosts circulation and accelerates tissue repair. LED, or light emitting diode therapy, is a skincare treatment that uses varying wavelengths of light, including red, blue and near infrared. NASA originally developed it for plant growth experiments on shuttle missions and later found it to have promise for wound treatment. This really is the ultimate experience in total body wellness.
