What Can We Help With?

Acupuncture Treatments

  • At The Violette House, acupuncture is at the heart of what we do. This gentle, time-honored therapy uses ultra-fine needles placed at specific points on the body to encourage natural healing and restore internal balance. Whether you're navigating stress, chronic pain, fertility challenges, or other health concerns, acupuncture helps awaken your body’s innate ability to heal and thrive.

  • Acupuncture stimulates the flow of energy—known as “Qi”—through pathways in the body. When Qi flows freely, the body can function at its best. At The Violette House, we personalize each treatment, carefully choosing acupuncture points to boost circulation, relieve pain, reduce stress, and support your overall sense of balance and well-being.

  • Acupuncture can help with a wide range of women’s health conditions. Chinese medicine is a comprehensive system that has been used for centuries to address menstrual cramps, hormonal imbalances, fertility issues, pregnancy symptoms, and postpartum relief. We also offer support for pain, emotional health, and stress.

  • Every body is different, and so is every healing journey. Some of our patients at The Violette House feel relief after just one session, especially for acute issues. Others may experience more gradual improvements over a series of treatments. We take the time to understand your needs and goals, and we’ll work closely with you to create a plan that supports lasting, meaningful results.

  • Most of our clients are surprised by how relaxing acupuncture feels. You might experience a brief tingling or warmth when the needles are inserted, but it’s rarely painful. At The Violette House, your comfort is our priority—we use gentle techniques and create a calming space where you can fully relax.

    If you have any questions about how acupuncture works, don't hesitate to reach out to us.
