Hormone Balance
Functional Medicine Evaluation
Identify Imbalances
High stress and busy, modern lifestyles can contribute to hormone imbalances (cortisol, DHEA, glucose, testosterone, etc.) and adrenal fatigue.
Adrenal fatigue can manifest as insomnia, infertility, weight gain, moodiness, GI issues, anxiety, depression, fatigue, blood sugar irregularities, brain fog and so much more. By doing a simple saliva or urine test, we can detect where the imbalance lies and provide natural and effective ways to get your body back online using diet, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and appropriate supplementation.
-
This appointment includes an in depth interview that is similar to your first acupuncture visit, and you will leave with a basic nutritional plan, the saliva/adrenal test kit for you to do at home, and some mind-body techniques for getting a head start while we wait for your results.
Cupping
Relieve Tension & Invigorate Blood Flow
Cupping is a practice used in Whole Systems Chinese Medicine that involves creating suction on the skin using a cup. The suction helps facilitate the flow of “qi”, or life force, in the body. The gentle lifting via suction creates space in places of tension to facilitate better blood circulation and recovery. Restoring balance between these two extremes, known as yin and yang, cupping helps to boost the immune system, increase blood flow and reduce pain.
-
Negative pressure is created in the cup (using a glass, ceramic, bamboo, or plastic cup. ) either by applying a flame to the cup to remove oxygen before placing it on the skin or by attaching a suction device to the cup after it is placed on the skin.
Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.
Celluma LED Light Therapy
Achieve Restoration at a Cellular Level
At Nest we incorporate FDA approved Celluma LED Light Therapy devices and acupuncture to treat a variety of issues ranging from orthopedic pain to skin issues.*
-
In the same way that plants use chlorophyll to convert sunlight into energy, high intensity light emitting diodes (LEDs) utilizing specific, proven wavelengths of light can trigger a natural bio-stimulatory effect in human tissue. Research has shown that light emitting diode (LED), or phototherapy, can increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, kill acne bacteria, decrease inflammation, improve acne prone skin, skin tone, texture and clarity, decrease under eye wrinkles as well as ease muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasm, and pain associated with arthritis.
*This non-invasive therapy may not be for everyone, so please schedule a free 15-minute consultation for more information to see if Celluma LED Light Therapy is right for you.
Facial Rejuvenation
Transform Your Skin
Transform your skin from the inside out naturally and effectively without surgery or chemical injections. Chinese medicine offers thousands of years of ancient wisdom for modern people who want to slow down or reverse signs of aging. The extra bonus of these anti-aging methods are that they address the systemic issues, which often stand in between a person and glowing, healthy, vibrant skin, and do not leave you looking modified in any way. The result: better overall health and a naturally beautiful you.

Acupressure with Phototherapy
Activate Energy Flow
Acupressure with Phototherapy is a natural way to address pain and illness without prescription drugs. As a natural therapy, it has many advantages and can be combined with Western medicine and other modalities without any adverse interactions. Using the principles of Chinese medicine and acupuncture point and meridian theory, this technique promotes the innate healing mechanisms of the body and has similar benefits to an acupuncture session without needles or any discomfort.
-
Acupressure with Phototherapy combines the science of photobiomodulation with the benefits of acupuncture point stimulation and can address symptoms at the root level as you work with a trained practitioner.
Phototherapy patches that are pre-ordered here and self-administered are applied to specific points to manage symptoms and to guide qi to aid in long term healing.
Essentially Acupressure with Phototherapy works on the same energy system in your body as acupuncture, that runs in specific pathways called meridians. Energy courses through your meridians, and when flowing effectively, you feel healthy, have plenty of energy and sleep well. When there's a blockage in the flow of energy, it creates problems like pain, low energy, illness, anxiety, depression, and poor sleep.
