acupuncture services

Acupuncture is the insertion of tiny, sterile pins into predetermined acupuncture points on the body. The stimulation of these points sends signals to the brain and central nervous system to release endorphins, promote local circulation to tissues to reduce inflammation and pain, and to put back into balance systems that have become unbalanced.

Acupuncture can help with many conditions including stress, pain & strains, digestive issues, insomnia & sleep issues, allergies, colds & flu, fertility, headaches, and more.

  • This treatment is for patients who are new to Roots to Blooms Acupuncture & Wellness and includes a complete health and medical history, thorough medical intake, evaluation, and acupuncture treatment. During your acupuncture treatment you will receive acupuncture pins and any other modalities suited for your unique condition and decided upon by the acupuncturist, such as cupping or heat therapy.

  • Continued care for established patients who have already had an initial visit. During your 45-minute treatment you will receive acupuncture pins and any other modalities suited for your unique condition and decided upon by the acupuncturist, such as cupping or heat therapy.

  • Need a quick stress reliever? We’ve got you! This treatment was designed with the busiest of people in mind: a predetermined stress-relieving point prescription, heated treatment table, white noise machine, soft music, and you all cozy for 30 minutes start to finish. Perfect when you need to put down your worries and shift from fight or flight into relaxed and reset.

  • Even as an acupuncturist, sometimes what I love is getting just cupping! Cupping or gua sha can assist with relieving pain, reducing muscle tension, breaking up fascial adhesions, reducing inflammation, improving lymph drainage, and moving sinus or chest congestion. Cupping is performed by our licensed Traditional East Asian Medicine professional.

  • Coming in for stress relief or an issue that doesn’t require body work but love the way you feel after cupping? Add 15 minutes of cupping or gua sha onto your acupuncture appointment. Cupping and gua sha relieve muscle tension and adhesions in fascia that massage and acupuncture alone cannot.

 

 

holistic skincare services

Taking a holistic approach to skincare means honoring and prioritizing the natural structures and functions of the skin to get to the root causes of skin concerns. This often starts with repairing the skin barrier, and adjusting each client’s skincare routine and diet.

At Roots to Blooms Acupuncture & Wellness, holistic skincare refers to the services provided by our licensed acupuncturist who has completed study beyond acupuncture school that is specific to Traditional East Asian Medicine (TEAM) Dermatology, cosmetic acupuncture, microneedling, face reading, and integrated nutrition.

  • Microneedling is performed with an electric pen style instrument with a 12-headed needle cartridge. It treats fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, improves skin texture, evens skin discolorations, and enhances the effectiveness of skincare products. Your skin is over 2000% more absorbent for 48 hours after treatment so proper aftercare is essential. We send you home with the perfect aftercare kit to give you both immediate and lasting results.

    Visible results begin on the first day and continue for weeks afterward. Collagen turnover takes 90 days, and as levels continue to build up throughout that time, your skin tone becomes more even and overall more radiant. Because of the rate of collagen turnover and timing of skin recovery, microneedling the same area requires four weeks between sessions. Results are greatly improved over a series of 4-6 monthly treatments and will continue to progress for months after your last treatment. Results can last up to 5 years.

    We start your treatment by numbing the face with lidocaine cream and placing a few acupuncture pins in body acupuncture points for relaxation. After 30 minutes the lidocaine is removed, and hyaluronic acid and apple stems cell serum are applied as a lubricant for the microneedling pen. As microneedling is performed, targeted serums are applied for under eye circles, age spots and melasma, and to build collagen. The session ends with a cooling and soothing face mask. You will be sent home with a targeted aftercare kit and instructions for how to care for your skin for the week following your microneedling session. Proper aftercare makes all the difference in your microneedling results, and we strongly encourage you to follow our specific protocol.

    We proudly use AcuMicro Chinese Medicine-based serums during treatment.

  • Looking for a wrinkle solution that’s safer than Botox? Cosmetic Acupuncture is your answer. Our faces have 43 muscles that work together to form our facial expressions. We create facial expression habits and over time, these expressions become embedded in the connective tissue of the face causing wrinkles, fine lines, deep furrows (think of the “11” between the eyebrows), sagging skin, and jowls.

    Facial rejuvenation acupuncture, gua sha, and cupping can release atrophied muscles, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, firm the skin, even out skin tone, and bring out our skin’s natural radiance without harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. During a facial rejuvenation/cosmetic acupuncture session, you will receive facial acupuncture, facial gua sha and cupping, and a cooling facemask, along with at home skincare tips to prolong your treatment’s success.

    While I’m happy to perform single sessions, for best results this modality is best done as a series of 12 treatments over 6 to 12 weeks, with each treatment building on the next to achieve lasting results.

  • Have an upcoming special event and want your skin looking its best, or just want to treat yourself to something wonderful? Our AcuFacial will have you glowing from the inside and out. We start with a skin analysis and choose your targeted Laurel Skincare whole plant products for use during your treatment. Then, as you relax in one of our cozy treatment rooms on a heated treatment table, your face is cleansed and tiny acupuncture pins are placed into facial locations to increase circulation, promote the production of collagen and elastin, relax tight facial muscles, and diminish fine lines and wrinkles. While you rest during the acupuncture phase, you will receive targeted LED light therapy. The treatment concludes with facial gua sha and cupping, a soothing facial mask, and Six Flowers serum application. You and your skin will be glowing!

  • Join Jessica in this fun and informative class while she shares her vast knowledge of holistic skincare. She talks about the skin’s structure and function, its nutrition requirements, how skincare treatments affect the skin barrier, toxic ingredients to avoid, ingredients essential to healthy skin, alternatives to harsh chemicals and Botox, holistic methods to encourage graceful skin aging, and gives demonstrations for at home facial gua sha and cupping. Jessica leaves plenty of time for questions and always brings her favorite skincare product samples to share with class participants.

  • Let us help take the frustration out of meal planning. Jessica will create a nutrition plan based on your unique dietary requirements, Traditional East Asian Medicine diagnosis, lifestyle, and cooking abilities.

    The plan includes cooking tips, shopping lists, two weeks of recipes, suggested recipe combinations, information about your Traditional East Asian Medicine diagnosis, and which foods to include and avoid in your diet to cultivate your best health.

    We will meet briefly to discuss your health concerns, review your medications, supplements, diet, and lifestyle habits.

workshops & classes

POSES & PINS

This is a monthly acupuncture and yoga workshop held at various locations in the Lake Geneva and Walworth county area.

Price varies by location.

Acupuncture enhances the relaxed and refreshed feeling you will get after this gentle yoga class.

Our yoga instructor starts the group with guided, gentle yoga for all ages and abilities, then everyone stays in shavasana (lying on your back on your yoga mat) while receiving an acupuncture treatment from our licensed acupuncturist. The group rests together for 20 minutes while the acupuncture pins restore balance and harmony to the mind and body, deepening the yoga experience, then the pins are removed and yoga class ends with a prayer of gratitude.

Interested in hosting Poses & Pins? We love to travel! We have held our workshop in yoga studios, at a weekend retreat, a coffee shop, outside on the farm, in a hair salon, and at a dance studio. We bring sterilized yoga mats, blocks, and blankets for all participants, and can bring them to you.
