Our Services

Gentle, Effective Acupuncture

Experience the healing power of acupuncture—many patients feel relief during their first treatment. We specialize in gentle, effective acupuncture for pain management, stress relief, immune support, hormone balance, digestion, and overall wellness. Our targeted approach activates your body's natural healing intelligence so you can feel better and get back to living life fully.

Custom Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine is one of the most effective approaches for internal health concerns — digestive issues, sleep problems, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, and immune challenges. We create personalized granule formulas in-house, tailored to address the root cause of your concerns. Herbs can be used as a standalone treatment or combined with acupuncture for comprehensive care.

Product Highlight–Vitamin D Plus K

It’s really feeling like fall now and people are talking about how to avoid getting sick. Of course we recommend eating healthy, getting good quality sleep, acupuncture, and herbs. But there’s another foundational piece that is simple and super effective–a Vitamin D supplement.

Clinic Updates in the Spirit Of Growth and Service

I’m very excited to announce that Megan Rauch has joined the clinic as Associate Acupuncturist and Herbalist! Megan and I went to Chinese Medicine school together in San Francisco way back when. Megan and I had imagined working together over the years and we’re both excited that the time is now right for her to join the Team Thrive.

What We’re Treating In The Clinic

Neuropathy. We love helping patients get rid of, reduce, or better manage neuropathy. It can be uncomfortable and concerning when arms and hands or legs and feet (or both) are numb, tingling, burning, weak, or have lost all feeling. It can cause struggles with balance or small movements like picking things up or getting dressed.
