Under the extensive training and experience of Dr. Randee Ward, we are proud to offer Gua sha, a revered traditional Chinese healing technique. Dr. Ward, trained extensively in holistic Oriental medicine, utilizes this ancient method to help patients manage chronic pain and enhance overall wellness. Gua sha involves a trained professional skillfully using a smooth-edged tool to stroke the skin. During the treatment, a therapeutic oil is applied to the body to facilitate the use of a stone-like Gua sha tool. This tool is employed to scrape the skin with long, downward strokes, leading to the appearance of small, red, rash-like dots under the skin known as petechiae. These markings are a key indicator of the treatment’s impact on deep-tissue microcirculation.

This technique is often integrated with other complementary therapies such as herbal medicine, massage, acupuncture, and heat therapy, enhancing its efficacy. Gua sha is primarily used to:

• Improve blood circulation
• Promote a lifting effect on the skin, potentially aiding in detoxification
• Alleviate pain and stiffness in areas like the back, neck, arms, legs, and buttocks

The treatment intensity can vary, starting gently and increasing in pressure according to your comfort level, ensuring a personalized experience.

Gua sha is generally safe but may cause temporary bruising, discoloration, or tenderness. It is not recommended for individuals on blood clotting medications. Always consult with your healthcare provider before beginning new treatments.

Cupping therapy is an ancient technique renowned for its health benefits. With extensive experience in holistic Chinese therapies, Dr. Ward uses cupping to improve blood flow, boost immune function, remove toxins, and reduce pain, providing a comprehensive approach to wellness.

Cupping involves placing glass, plastic, or silicone cups on the skin to create suction, which is believed to enhance energy flow and facilitate healing. This practice has roots in ancient cultures, including Egyptian, Chinese, and Greek, and is recognized for its effectiveness in increasing circulation andoting tissue repair.

During a session, cups are strategically placed on areas of the body to lift the skin slightly. This suction:

• Stimulates blood flow to the area
• Enhances oxygenation and tissue delivery
• Helps flush out toxins
• Relieves muscle tension and pain

Cupping is known for leaving distinctive, temporary marks, often seen on athletes and celebrities, which indicate successful activation of the body’s healing processes.

Cupping is generally safe, with side effects limited to temporary bruising or discoloration. It’s important to consult with Dr. Ward to ensure it’s appropriate for your health needs, especially if you are on medication or have a medical condition.

Acupuncture is a profound healing art rooted in traditional Chinese medicine that dates back over 3,500 years. Dr. Randee Ward, with her extensive training and expertise in Chinese holistic therapies, masterfully applies this ancient practice to help our clients achieve optimal health and balance.
Acupuncture is a form of energy medicine that involves inserting fine needles at specific points on the body to manipulate the vital life force known as “qi.” This method helps to diagnose and treat illness by electromagnetically sending energetic information deep into the body through these strategically chosen points, acting as gates to restore balance and promote health.
Acupuncture is proven to:

• Promote Healing: Acupuncture offers a small electrical prompt to the body, encouraging it to return to homeostasis and restore natural balance.
• Release Blockages: By targeting areas where qi is blocked, acupuncture stimulates organ function and enhances overall health.
• Improve Circulation: Enhanced circulation through acupuncture improves bodily functions and system efficiency.
• Decrease Pain: Serving as a natural analgesic, acupuncture interrupts pain signals to the brain, offering relief without the use of pharmaceuticals.
• Balance Body Chemistry: It influences the body’s biochemical responses, adjusting neurochemical pathways and hormonal outputs.
• Reduce Inflammation: Acupuncture reduces proinflammatory markers in the body, helping to alleviate discomfort and swelling.

Acupuncture is a safe practice with minimal side effects, typically limited to slight bruising or discomfort at needle sites. Dr. Ward ensures a comfortable and clean environment, following strict protocols to provide safe and effective treatments.
