In 2007, our owner and founder, Lauren Buckley, listened to the call of her roots and moved back to Philadelphia while pregnant with her first son.
After leaving the city at the age of 18 to embark on her journey in the healing arts, Lauren returned home to Philadelphia to give back to the community she knew and loved.
Lauren started her acupuncture business in Queen Village, working 3 days a week for 3 years as she grew her family.
Lauren wanted to be a part of the East Passyunk Avenue revitalization, and she was lucky to find a cozy spot across from the Singing Fountain, a popular year-round gathering spot for musicians, artists, farmers, and community organizers.

Acupuncture is a system of integrative medicine that stimulates certain points on the body, most often with a thin, pine-like needle penetrating the skin, to alleviate pain or to help treat various health conditions.
It goes all the way back to the Stone Age and was first written about over 2,200 years ago in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, the earliest written work on Traditional Chinese Medicine.
In traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is explained as keeping the flow of life force (qi) in balance by keeping meridians (pathways) in the body free of blockages.

Cupping has been growing in popularity thanks to celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow and athletes like Michael Phelps.
Its practice is nothing new, however, and dates back all the way to 1,550 B.C., when it was cited by the Egyptians in one of the oldest medical textbooks in the world, Ebers Papyrus.
A staple of traditional Chinese medicine, cupping became an official therapeutic practice at Chinese hospitals after research confirmed its effectiveness in the 1950s.
It can be used in conjunction with your acupuncture or as a standalone treatment.

Gua sha is a traditional Chinese medical treatment in which the skin is scraped to produce light to dark discoloration.
This discoloration, known as "sha, " is metabolic waste that is being released from stagnant areas, promoting blood flow and healing.
Your acupuncturist will first apply organic oil to the treatment area and will then begin scraping the skin using long strokes with a gua sha massage tool.
This stimulates blood flow in the soft tissue, reducing inflammation and promoting healing.
