What is Acupuncture?

The ancient practice of acupuncture has been around for thousands of years; it is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine. It is based on the healthy flow of “Qi” (most often translated as the body’s vital energy) throughout the entire body. It can be used as a preventative medicine to promote general well-being physically and mentally, and can also be used to treat certain common medical disorders including, but not limited to:

• Women’s health (PMS, hormone imbalance, irregular cycles, lack of menstruation)

• Digestive disorders (abdominal bloating, IBS, constipation, diarrhea)

• Pain relief (back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, surgery rehab, injury recovery)

• Headaches and migraines

• Mental/emotional health (anxiety, depression, stress, grieving/loss, insomnia, PTSD)

• Respiratory disorders (cold and flu, COVID19 recovery, asthma, allergies)

• Weak immunity and/or general feeling of depletion and fatigue

• Sleep disorders or difficulty sleeping

• Preventative medicine to combat the everyday stresses of modern life that deplete our system

Acupuncture is recognized by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to be effective in the treatment of a wide variety of medical disorders.

What is Cosmetic Acupuncture?

Cosmetic acupuncture is an all-natural facial rejuvenation treatment which involves the use of tiny needles that are placed in the face. These needles cause micro-trauma to the skin, which signals the body to send collage, blood, and Qi to the area to heal resulting in plump and glowing skin. Use cosmetic acupuncture for:

• Fine lines

• Wrinkles

• Acne

• Acne scars

• Hyperpigmentation

• Dull and uneven skin tone

• Redness

• Eczema

• Psoriasis

Initial treatment includes an intake + skin analysis to determine any concerns and goals of the treatment. A combination of body and facial acupuncture is then done to balance the skin from the inside out and increase collagen production, followed by a Gua Sha + Jade Rolling massage to sculpt facial muscles, increase circulation, drain lymph nodes, reduce puffiness and relax facial tension.

Note: this is NOT a traditional facial with steaming or extractions.

Hi, I’m Michele.

I am nationally board certified in Acupuncture and licensed to practice in Colorado and Florida. I studied Psychology at the University of San Francisco and hold a Diplomate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine as well as a Master of Science degree and a Bachelor’s degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine (MSTOM) from Atlantic University of Oriental Medicine. My other certifications include Clean Needle Technique by the Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (CCAOM), Cosmetic Acupuncture and Facial Rejuvenation, and Injection Therapy. In addition to my Traditional Chinese Medicine training, I am also a fully certified STOTT Pilates Instructor with 17 years of experience working with functional fitness on all types of bodies and rehabilitating all types of injuries.

I love to awaken the yin of individuals in mind, body and soul. Yin nourishes our blood, joints, ligaments, skin elasticity, and most importantly our brains. Yin helps us sleep and move with harmony and look and feel our best from the inside out. In the high alpine of Breckenridge, yin is essential to nourish in order to obtain and maintain optimal wellness. I look forward to meeting you!

MY favorite treatment: Cosmetic Acupuncture because it’s a full body treatment + facial rejuvenation + head massages & all the things. It leaves me feeling radiant, with a natural beautiful glow
