01 — Welcome
A peaceful haven in the middle of Brunswick.
Sick of feeling bloated, queasy, constipated or sluggish? Tired of feeling wired, exhausted and irritable? Take the steps to feel comfortable and rested in your body again.
Our emphasis is on regulating two of the body’s most fundamental processes: digestion and sleep. These two things not only affect each other, but drastically influence our mental state, immunity and overall wellbeing.
We treat symptoms associated with all types of gastrointestinal disorders, as well as insomnia, hypersomnia, fatigue, burnout and everything in between.
02 — A treatment

Listen
We listen to what’s happening for you — how you digest, sleep, move and feel. We get a holistic picture of your overall health so as to better address the reason you came.
Then
Treat
Acupuncture to match your physiology. Less is more — rarely more than five needles per treatment.
And
Rest
