Acupuncture & Community-Centered Healing
Acupuncture is at the heart of our wellness approach. It’s a natural therapy that uses fine, sterile needles to restore balance in the body and mind while addressing both acute and chronic conditions.
Our Healing Lounge offers community-style acupuncture in a shared, calming space. Enjoy affordable sessions in a peaceful setting designed for relaxation and connection. This option is ideal for stress relief, sleep support, and ongoing wellness maintenance.
Private acupuncture sessions offer one-on-one care in a quiet room with time for deeper discussion of your health goals. Treatments may include heat therapy, cupping, e-stim, or herbal consults for a fully tailored approach.
Cosmetic acupuncture naturally enhances facial tone and glow while improving circulation and collagen production. It’s often paired with microneedling or red light therapy for smoother, brighter skin.
This performance-based technique helps athletes recover faster and move better. We combine acupuncture with trigger-point therapy and muscle testing to support surfers, runners, and gym-goers recovering from strains, tendonitis, or fatigue.

- Neck and shoulder tension
- Back pain

We combine acupuncture, cupping, and soft-tissue work to help active people recover faster, prevent injury, and stay strong. Each plan is customized to your performance goals and body’s needs.

This was my second time at The Source - first did a cupping session which helped a pinch in my sacrum TREMENDOUSLY after one session. And then I did my first Acupuncture with Emily about a week later. Emily is thorough, knowledgeable and during the consultation she really listened to my concerns.
