Healing is not treating symptoms — it's restoring flow.
Our Approach
At Abalone Acupuncture, we believe the body possesses an innate wisdom to heal. When energy flows freely — through pathways, organs, and emotions — health follows naturally. Our role is to remove the obstacles that interrupt that flow, using time-tested modalities guided by your unique constitution.
Acupuncture
Pain, stress & whole-body care
Whether it's back pain, migraines, anxiety, or sleep — acupuncture addresses the pattern, not just the symptom. Hour-long sessions tailored to where you are right now.
Holistic Aestehtics
Skin that's healthy from the inside out
Cosmetic acupuncture, microneedling, and facial gua sha that treat your skin the way it deserves — with no toxins, no downtime, and radiance that lasts.
Bodywork
Tui na, cupping & deep release
90-minute sessions combining tui na massage, cupping, and acupuncture to move lymph, release holding patterns, and bring your body back to life.
Women’s Health
Fertility, PMDD & cycle support
Irregular cycles, PMDD, fertility support, perimenopause — your hormones are not your enemy. We work with your cycle to restore rhythm, energy, and ease.
What are you ready to heal?
We work with a wide range of conditions — from acute pain to chronic hormonal imbalance to skin health. Every treatment is personalized to your constitution, your cycle, and your goals.
