In-person Sleep Support

Relief for trouble falling asleep and staying sleep

A free consult is available if you are struggling with the following:

  • Trouble falling asleep

  • Anxiety

  • Humming sensation

  • Feeling wired, but tired

  • Can’t fall asleep easily, and then only light sleep all night

  • Waking up around 1am or 2am and having a hard time going back to sleep

  • Waking up too early, as early at 4am or 3am

  • Waking up too early and then experiencing light, unsatisfying sleep

  • Waking up feeling tired, whether you think you slept enough or not

  • Symptoms such as digestive issues, hormonal imbalances and other physical symptoms  

Consider a holistic sleep medicine assessment:

  • If sleep medication is not your desired method to find better sleep

  • If you are already on a sleep medication and it’s not working well for you, or you’d like to sleep well without taking medications

  • If you are interested to look at the whole body, find the root cause, and heal your sleep naturally

How acupuncture and functional medicine helps you to sleep better:

Acupuncture has calming effects on the nervous system. It can help regulate sleep patterns and alleviate stress—a common trigger for insomnia. We will address underlying imbalances in the body with regular acupuncture sessions which will not only enhance sleep quality but also cultivate a lasting sense of relaxation and tranquility that carries over into your daily life.

  • Acupuncture will relax your nervous system by increasing calming neurotransmitters such as serotonin & GABA, and it helps ease anxiety. 

  • It will release endorphins and make you feel more relaxed, which will help with melatonin production.

  • Acupuncture points stimulate digestion and increase absorption of nutrients, supporting the brain-gut connection and sleep.

Functional medicine takes patient-centered approach to diagnosing and treating sleep issues. We will focus on the root causes rather than just symptoms. I consider factors such: as hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, stress, and inflammation, all of which can significantly impact sleep quality. Comprehensive testing allows us to analyze your unique biochemistry, uncovering underlying issues like cortisol dysregulation, melatonin insufficiency, or gut microbiome imbalances that may be disrupting your sleep cycle.

  • Primary assessment examines your nervous system with tests that look at cortisol & neurotransmitter markers.

  • An in-depth analysis of the primary tests, along with a thorough review of any prior results, enables us to identify the most effective strategies to enhance your sleep. These strategies may encompass tailored lifestyle adjustments, incorporation of herbal remedies, and strategic use of supplements, intended to address the root cause of your insomnia.

  • Final testing will look further into the root cause of your sleep issues, such as: digestion, hormones or toxins. 

What to Expect

Introductory phone or video free consultation typically 20 minutes.

A comprehensive 90-minute in-person initial session of functional medicine diagnosis and a Chinese medicine assessment will be the foundational guide to future sessions. Common tests can be referenced further on this page. The initial session’s purpose is to uncover physiological imbalances such as hormonal shifts, nutrient deficiencies, chronic inflammation, disruptions in your gut microbiome, organ health and emotional well-being. Central to this comprehensive session is a relaxing acupuncture session, designed to calm your nervous system, regulate your body's natural rhythms, and promote a deep state of relaxation conducive to better sleep.

Follow-up sessions, typically 12 acupuncture sessions will improve sleep. Results are noticed after 3 to 5 sessions. 

Common tests:

  • Cortisol and adrenal testing
