Heal Your Body
Your body is your oldest and steadiest friend. Often it takes only a gentle nudge like acupuncture to bring it back into balance. Once you start to feel better, you can make healthier choices around diet and exercise.
Relieve Your Stress
Stressed out? You are not alone! Mind-body medicine like acupuncture has been proven to lower stress hormones and moderate our moods to reduce anxiety and improve overall feelings of well-being.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
Also known as facial acupuncture, cosmetic acupuncture is a rejuvenation method that can help decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduce acne, and improve the overall quality of your skin.
Reiki Healing
Reiki is a gentle, holistic energy-healing practice that promotes relaxation, well-being, and pain relief, and serves as a powerful complement to acupuncture.

I’ve been seeing Karen Nunley since 1998, and every time I go, I always get off the table feeling so peaceful and tranquil. I’ve recommended her to many of my friends. I see her for seasonal allergies, immune support and improved sense of well-being. If you have anything bothering you – go see her now! She has the gift of healing.
