We offer acupuncture, sound healing, reiki, and other restorative bodywork for clients that are interested in decreasing their stress levels as well as increasing their body’s natural healing and pain relieving abilities.  There is no such thing as an “average session” with Smiling Buddha Bodywork.  We tailor each visit to your body and spirit’s specific needs. 

Most sessions begin with a quick health update and assessment to better address your chief complaints.  Then a blend of various techniques including acupuncture, tui na (massage), cupping, and Reiki may be used to help bring your body and mind back into balance. If you have any questions about the services offered at Smiling Buddha Bodywork, please contact us. 

Smiling Buddha Bodywork specializes in women’s health, LGBTQ health concerns, emotional support as well as musculoskeletal problems and just every-day regular stress.  If you are curious if Smiling Buddha Bodywork is right for you, feel free to message us to set up your initial visit and we will be happy to help you relax, rebuild, and restore.
