Feel at home within yourself.
AMMA is an homage to the healing work we each undertake throughout our lives.
Sometimes that work feels easeful, flowing with grace. Other times, it’s layered and messy, asking us to sit with what hurts and find our way back to ourselves again and again.
AMMA’s core offerings are acupuncture, herbal medicine, and intensive body work therapies. Through thorough and precise diagnostics, patients receive individualized and comprehensive care.

Acupuncture works by helping your body return to balance. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), very thin needles are placed at specific points along pathways called meridians. These points help regulate the flow of Qi , your body’s vital energy , allowing your system can function more smoothly.
From a modern medical perspective, research shows that acupuncture:
Stimulates the nervous system to release natural pain-relieving chemicals like endorphins
Improves circulation to muscles, joints, and organs
Reduces inflammation throughout the body
Regulates the stress response, helping calm the mind and relax the body
Supports hormonal balance, digestion, and overall internal regulation
-
Acupuncture can support a wide range of conditions by reducing pain, calming the nervous system, improving circulation, and helping the body rebalance. Common concerns people seek treatment for include:
Pain: back, neck, shoulder, migraines, joint pain
Stress & anxiety
Digestive issues
Women’s health: menstrual pain, PMS, fertility support
Sleep issues
Hormonal imbalance
Fatigue and low energy
Acupuncture works holistically, so treatment is always tailored to your unique body and what you’re experiencing.
