Modalities & Methods

Methods rooted in presence and tradition, adapted to your body in the moment, offering many pathways back into balance and connection.

 

At ECHO, care is never one-size-fits-all. Each method is chosen based on what your body needs in the moment—sometimes gentle, sometimes invigorating, always guided by presence and listening.

Acupuncture

 

The foundation of this medicine. Fine, sterile needles are placed with precision to regulate the nervous system, ease pain, and restore circulation. Each point is chosen in real-time, based on embodied perception, traditional knowledge, and the body’s shifting signals.

Botanical & Lifestyle Support

 

Herbal medicine and simple daily practices can extend the effects of treatment into everyday life. Whether through customized botanical formulas, supplements, or small adjustments to routine, these supports help the body keep its natural rhythm.

Electroacupuncture

 

A gentle current is applied through acupuncture points to enhance circulation, calm inflammation, and encourage nerve repair. The sensation is mild—often felt as a soft pulsing—and can deepen the body’s restorative response.

Cupping Therapy

 

Glass or silicone cups create a gentle vacuum that lifts the skin and underlying tissue. This promotes circulation, eases tension, and helps the body process stagnant patterns. The temporary marks are signs of movement, not injury.

Japanese Style & Methods

Rooted in centuries of refinement, this style emphasizes sensitivity, precision, and comfort. Treatments often rely on palpation and subtle adjustments, sometimes without needles at all, to harmonize the body and calm the nervous system.

Teishin & Needle-Free Acupuncture

Using a smooth, non-insertive tool called a teishin, the skin is gently touched or pressed at acupuncture points. This method is subtle but powerful, ideal for those sensitive to needles or seeking a quieter way of shifting the system.

Each session may draw from one or several of these methods. Rooted in presence and tradition, adapted to your body in the moment, they offer many pathways back into balance and connection. Book a treatment.
