Acupuncture
At Circle of Life Massage & Wellness, acupuncture offers a gentle, natural way to help your body find balance and relief. Using ultra-fine, sterile needles placed at specific points on the body, acupuncture encourages the smooth flow of energy—known as Qi—and supports the body’s own healing response.
​
This time-tested therapy can help ease pain and tension, calm the nervous system, and restore overall well-being. Many clients turn to acupuncture to relieve headaches and migraines, back or joint pain, stress and anxiety, digestive issues, sleep problems, and hormonal or fertility concerns.
​
Your session begins with a thoughtful conversation about your health history and goals. From there, Tammy creates a personalized treatment plan to support what your body needs most—whether that’s reducing pain, improving energy, or simply restoring a sense of calm and balance.
​
Acupuncture invites your body to do what it was designed to do: heal, renew, and return to harmony.
Benefits of Acupuncture
Acupuncture supports the body’s natural ability to heal and rebalance—offering relief, relaxation, and renewal for a wide range of concerns.
​
Pain Relief
Whether you’re dealing with back or neck tension, joint discomfort, or frequent headaches, acupuncture can help reduce pain by stimulating the body’s natural release of endorphins and improving circulation. Many people find that regular sessions not only ease pain but also support greater mobility and comfort.
​
Stress & Anxiety Reduction
Acupuncture gently calms the nervous system, helping you move from “fight or flight” into a state of rest and relaxation. By balancing the body’s stress response, it can ease anxiety, promote emotional well-being, and leave you feeling grounded and centered.
​
Better Sleep
Struggling to unwind or stay asleep? Acupuncture can help regulate sleep patterns by relaxing the body, quieting the mind, and addressing the underlying imbalances that may interfere with restful sleep.
​
Allergy Support
For those who experience seasonal or environmental allergies, acupuncture may help relieve symptoms like congestion, sneezing, and itching by reducing inflammation and supporting a balanced immune response.
​
Emotional & Mental Wellness
Acupuncture is also a gentle complement to emotional health care. It can help lift mood, ease symptoms of depression and anxiety, and promote a greater sense of inner balance and clarity.
​
Every body is unique, and each person’s experience with acupuncture is different. Your licensed acupuncturist will work with you to create a treatment plan that supports your specific goals and overall well-being.
Initial Consultation and Treatment (90 minutes) - $120
Your first acupuncture visit with Tammy is a chance to slow down and be truly heard. During this 90-minute session, Tammy takes time to understand your full picture of health—your concerns, medical history, lifestyle, and goals. She’ll ask thoughtful questions about your symptoms, sleep, digestion, stress levels, and overall well-being, and may perform gentle assessments to get a clearer view of what your body needs.
​
From there, she’ll create a personalized treatment plan designed specifically for you, blending traditional acupuncture with supportive techniques to help restore balance and ease.
Please wear loose, comfortable clothing and have a light meal or snack about an hour before your appointment.
Follow-Up Treatment (60 minutes) – $90
Each follow-up session continues the healing work you’ve already begun. Tammy will check in on how you’ve been feeling since your last visit—any changes in symptoms, energy, mood, or overall well-being—and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Together, you’ll focus on supporting your ongoing progress, addressing new concerns, and helping your body stay balanced and at ease.
