Why Acupuncture
& Holistic Medicine?
You don’t need a specific reason to explore acupuncture and holistic medicine. Many people are simply drawn to care that feels more intentional, balanced, and human.
This is a whole-person approach that supports how your body, mind, and nervous system function together. Sessions are calm and unrushed, guided by careful listening and clinical experience.
We partner with you to support balance, vitality, and long-term well-being — not by forcing change, but by creating space for it.

FAQ
Below is a deeper look at how we approach care across modalities.
What does an acupuncture session feel like?
Most sessions feel calm and grounding. Many people relax deeply during treatment, and some even fall asleep.
Do I need to believe in acupuncture for it to work?
No. Acupuncture works through physiological mechanisms related to the nervous system, circulation, and tissue response.
Is this approach traditional or modern?
Our work is grounded in Traditional Chinese Medicine and informed by modern clinical understanding, offering a thoughtful blend of both.
How do Chinese herbs fit into care?
Chinese herbal medicine may be used when appropriate to support balance over time, often alongside acupuncture. Herbs are always tailored to the individual.

Thoughtful Whole-Body Techniques
Care at True North is never one-size-fits-all. Your treatment may include supportive techniques when they best serve your care. Below is a deeper look at how we approach care across modalities.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture forms the core of treatment at True North. Sessions are slow, attentive, and responsive — focused on supporting nervous system regulation, circulation, and whole-body balance rather than chasing symptoms.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Herbal formulas are used to extend care beyond the treatment room. Prescribed only when appropriate, blends are customized to your physiology and adjusted over time as your body changes.
Diet, Nutrition & Lifestyle
We focus on simple, realistic guidance that supports healing without creating pressure. Recommendations are practical, flexible, and designed to work within your daily rhythms — not overhaul them.
Fire Cupping
Fire cupping is used selectively to address areas of deep tension, restriction, or stagnation. Applied with care and intention, it helps tissues soften and circulation return without overwhelming the system.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha allows for focused work in areas that need more direct attention. It’s often used when muscles or connective tissue feel resistant to change, helping restore movement and ease.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion offers gentle warmth when the body needs encouragement rather than stimulation. It’s especially helpful for fatigue, digestion, and recovery — supporting vitality over time.
Reiki
Reiki offers gentle, non-invasive support for rest and nervous system regulation. It creates space for the body and mind to settle, supporting restoration and emotional balance without effort or force.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is used precisely to address deep muscle tension and movement restriction. At True North, it’s applied thoughtfully and integrated into acupuncture care when it best supports release and ease.
Facial & Cosmetic Acupuncture
Facial and cosmetic acupuncture supports skin health by working with the body—not over it. Treatments focus on circulation and balance to promote a rested, vibrant appearance over time.
A Thoughtfully Integrated Environment
Healing is rarely linear — and it’s rarely meant to happen in isolation. At Well Set, you’re surrounded by a community of practitioners who share a common approach: listen carefully, treat thoughtfully, and avoid more than what’s needed.
Having multiple modalities under one roof means your care can adapt as you do — without pressure, without fragmentation, and with people who genuinely care about your progress.
