One of my favorite professors once told me, “Sometimes in life you get handed the white puzzle and the only thing you can do is find a corner and build from there.” When life gets overwhelming, one thing we shouldn’t do is let ourselves get too far down the hole with worry and stress, thinking about all the what ifs. Life calls for us to focus on one task at a time, one moment at a time, one day at a time. Our consistency to show up and do our best for each day is one of the only things we have control of.
Taking charge of one’s health is empowering. Continuously choosing day in and day out to do well to our body sets us up for success in all areas of life. Feeling good within ourselves radiates outwards to everyone and everything around us.

About the Owner
Hi, my name is Sophia. I was tossed into the health and wellness field at an early age due to my mother being a massage therapist. One of my first jobs was working at a chiropractors office preforming chair massage for his patients. I fell in love with the ability massage has to change our mood and muscles and have been licensed for 16 years now. After furthering my knowledge in kinesiology and psychology at Temple University, I decided I didn’t like the limitations placed on healing by Western Medicine. My passion is problem solving, getting to the root of a problem. I decided to expand my skills and received my masters degree from Yosan University for Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine and became licensed by the California Acupuncture Board in 2024.
Through many years of experience, touching and talking to thousands of people, I’ve strengthened my intuition and skills in holistic and alternative medicine practices. I am focused on helping others find solutions to their aches, pains, and all health issues whether they’re caused by lifestyle, environment or genetics. My schooling has given me the credentials to perform these ancient and powerful techniques but life has given me the gift of connecting to others and the intuition to help people find their path to healing.
Service Description and Pricing
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture is the act of inserting a hair thin needle and into the body to initiate a whole system response. How it works—by inserting a needle we are signaling to the brain, “Um, excuse me, foreign invader, SEND HELP.” In response to this, all systems get on board and blood loaded with our bodies helpers rush to the area. The flow of circulation, combined with the nervous system response, ultimately gives us a relaxed and invigorated feeling. Blood is flowing, neurotransmitters are released and this starts the healing process.
Through thousands of years of trial and observation, points have been located all over the body, that when stimulated, were found to have specific effects on different areas, not always just where the needle was inserted locally. We know there a pathways of vessels nerves and lymph. We have organs, muscles, bones, and there is the space in between holding it all together. Acupuncture works on it all. By taking a whole body approach this medicine can address almost every issue one may experience. Herbal therapies are used as a supplement to this initiation of flowing circulation and when used appropriately in combination can provide profound effects on not only the physical body, but our emotions, and our nervous system’s resilience against stressors.

We will go over your main reason for coming in, a review of all body systems, health history, talk about nutrition, supplements and herbal remedies.

Follow-Up Acupuncture Session: Follow up acupuncture appointment. Please only book if you have already seen Sophia for the longer Initial appointment. $115
Fire Cupping: Cupping is the act of using heat within a glass cup and placing it on the skin to create suction. If there are weak capillaries in the area, this suction will break them. The purpose of this is for the body to create ones and in doing so more blood flow is able to get to this area to deliver oxygen and healing agents. Over time the marks from cupping will get less. It’s important to note that there will temporarily be marks and be mindful of booking if you prefer to not have marks showing for any reason. This can be added to a follow-up acupuncture appointment or massage therapy. Add-On $40/Solo Service $75
Consultation/Counseling: Sometimes we are in need of guidance when embarking on a new journey and often talking through things and coming up with a plan is the best way to start.
