Diplomate of the National Certification Board for Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine (NCBAHM). Maya earned her master’s degree from the Colorado Chinese Medicine University in 2023.
My approach to acupuncture centers the role of the nervous system in regulating the body’s sensations and experiences. In our fast-paced world, treatments can offer an opportunity to pause, reconnect with the body and support a deeper sense of restoration and well-being. My life’s passion is to create the space for your mind, and body, to relax and recover.
Each session begins with a thoughtful assessment of your current state - what you are experiencing, how your body is responding and the broader factors that may be influencing your health.
Treatment involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles at carefully selected points along the body’s meridian system, with the approach tailored to your individual needs.
Acupuncture may be used to support a wide range of concerns including stress and tension, sleep and insomnia, digestive issues, pain, headaches, fertility, hormonal balance and overall nervous system regulation.
This treatment blends traditional acupuncture with targeted trigger point needling to address both systemic and muscular patterns of tension and pain.
Acupuncture points are selected to support nervous system regulation and overall balance, while trigger point needling targets specific areas of muscular tension and myofascial dysfunction.
This integrated approach allows treatment to be tailored to both the broader needs of the body and the specific areas contributing to discomfort, helping the body to release tension, restore mobility and recover.
Traditional fire cupping is a therapeutic technique where glass cups are applied to the skin using heat to create suction. This treatment affects the underlying tissues by increasing circulation, reducing muscular tension and supporting tissue mobility. Cups are carefully placed over areas of tension or discomfort to encourage relaxation and support the body’s natural recovery and detoxification process.
*Cupping commonly produces temporary discoloration on the skin as a result of the localized suction. Marks typically fade gradually over several days, although they may occasionally last up to 1–2 weeks. If you have an upcoming event or occasion where visible marks are a concern, please keep this in mind when scheduling your treatment.
This comprehensive treatment combines acupuncture, targeted trigger point needling and traditional fire cupping to address both whole-body patterns and specific areas of tension or discomfort.
Acupuncture points are selected to support nervous system regulation and overall balance, while trigger point needling focuses on localized muscular tension and myofascial trigger points. Fire cupping is then used to provide additional mechanical stimulation to areas of tension, supporting circulation, tissue mobility and relaxation.
Each session is tailored to your individual presentation, allowing these techniques to work together as part of a comprehensive treatment designed to help the body release tension, restore mobility and recover.
This package combines the NADA (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association) protocol with body acupuncture to support individuals in their efforts to quit smoking. The NADA protocol is a standardized ear acupuncture technique that involves the placement of fine needles at specific points on the ear and is commonly used to support detoxification and stress management. Combined with body acupuncture, this approach provides supportive care to help manage cravings, promote emotional balance and enhance overall well-being throughout the smoking cessation process.
Cosmetic acupuncture is a gentle, natural approach that combines traditional acupuncture with a focused treatment of the face and neck. Fine, sterile needles are placed at carefully selected points to support local circulation, tissue health and the body’s natural regenerative processes.
This treatment is designed to promote a healthy, refreshed appearance while also supporting relaxation and overall well-being.
Rather than simply targeting individual areas, cosmetic acupuncture takes a holistic approach, considering factors such as stress, sleep, digestion and nervous system balance that can influence the health and appearance of the skin. The result is a treatment that supports both inner well-being and a naturally revitalized appearance.
Micro-needling is a minimally invasive treatment performed with a motorized needling device that creates controlled micro-injuries across the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing response and support collagen and elastin production.
The treatment uses hyaluronic acid as a hydrating base followed by carefully selected topical ingredients, including apple stem cell and shiitake mushroom extracts to support skin renewal and overall skin health.
*Micro-needling is performed no more than once every four weeks, allowing adequate time for the skin to recover and regenerate between treatments. With consistent care, treatment can help improve skin texture, firmness, hydration and overall tone while supporting a healthy, naturally refreshed appearance.
Together we can achieve better health.
