Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine
Acupuncture consists of the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific
points shown to be effective in the treatment of certain health problems.
Traditional herbal medicine is one of the many different approaches to using
plants as remedies.
It aims to be holistic — it aims to treat the whole person, not just the
symptoms, and to encourage the body to heal itself.
$70.00/60 min.
Offered by Milissa
Gillen L.Ac., MAOM.
Aesthetics,
Aromatherapy & Laser Surgery
Aesthetic services include skin care, facial treatments, hair styling,
manicures and pedicures, and waxing. These treatments are especially
helpful and soothing just before and just after surgery. (We are also
pleased to introduce the DermaSound Plus, a revolutionary instrument
which benefits
your skin in three distinct ways. With the flexibility this tool offers,
we expect it to become the cornerstone of our exfoliation, acne, rosacea
and mature skin treatments. It's highly effective, yet gentle enough
for the most sensitive skin.) Aromatherapy is the
art
and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants
to balance, harmonize, and promote the health of body, mind, and spirit.
