The Heart of A Pointed Healing
Whether through acupuncture or massage, A Pointed Healing offers purposeful ongoing support for preventative wellness and health maintenance as well as helping to untangle what’s stuck and soothe what aches. Services are thoughtfully designed to help manage stress, relieve pain, and restore balance—physically, emotionally, and energetically. This isn’t a place for quick fixes or dependency. It’s a space for restoration, resilience, and deep-rooted empowerment.
The mission of A Pointed Healing is to help individuals reconnect with their bodies, harmonize their inner landscapes, and rediscover the innate wisdom that supports healing—building lasting vitality one breath at a time.
Each session is uniquely tailored, honoring that healing is not one-size-fits-all. Treatments may include a blend of modalities such as cupping, Gua Sha, reflexology, and holistic wellness insights. Rooted in Eastern medicine, care at A Pointed Healing doesn’t reduce individuals to a diagnosis—it honors the whole person. Symptoms are addressed, but so is the deeper dialogue of the body, encouraging attunement to natural rhythms and cultivating habits that support long-term wellness.
A Pointed Healing stands apart through a commitment to education and empowerment. The intention is for each client to leave feeling more whole, more connected, and more confident in listening to—and trusting—the quiet inner voice that always knows the way. Led by a licensed practitioner trained in both acupuncture and massage therapy, every experience is deeply intentional, never rushed.
Elevate & Thrive. Experience whole-body harmony. Leave feeling aligned and restored from head to toe. Rediscover the joy of inhabiting your inner landscape.
The greatest success is not measured by return visits, but by how fully life is lived once healing takes root.

I use a spectrum of light to medium pressure, always tailored to your body’s needs that day.
