Why come to Green Door?

• Chronic Pain? Hurts to move? Injury Recovery?

  Pain relief is our specialty.  Auricular Acupuncture targets specific and precise neuro-hormonal reflex points which have been shown to increase blood flow to injured areas. 

  More blood flow means more oxygen and greater chances to recover!

  Increased blood flow also helps remove local inflammation and stagnation.

  Auricular Acupuncture increases endogenous opiods-- which are the natural painkillers you already have inside you.  We frequently see folks who have given up hope of ever improving their range of motion or physical limitations-- and they are pleasantly surprised. 

  If you have an old injury --even decades old--  then this is the place for you.

• Detoxing? Addiction? Stressed and not Sleeping?

  Don't underestimate the effects of unmanaged stress and insomnia.  We use research proven acupuncture protocols and individual points to directly reset and support the parts of the brain and body most affected by stress.

  We are proud to offer NADA and other protocols to help with detoxification, cravings, and withdrawal syndromes.   NADA was developed in the late 70's to support those coming off opiates and is still going strong!

  *Please be sure to continue with your medical provider for monitoring during withdrawal from alcohol or CNS suppressant type medications: we cannot replace medical monitoring. 

• Trauma and PTSD?

  We are more than trauma informed here at Green Door.  Trauma Care is our passion.  We offer acupuncture, movement, meditation and targeted integration work to help you reconnect to and heal those parts of you.   

What kind of Place is this?

• Community Style

  Community style acupuncture is done in open-area bays which allow more than one person to be treated at once which lowers the price for each individual. 

  This makes frequent treatments within reach, which is advantageous because acupuncuture benefits compound with each treatment. 

  We also believe very much in building a community of those seeking to improvement their wellness and vitality.

• Walk Ins

  We offer walk in times to make care acceesable when you need it!

• Movement

  Our yoga studio/dance space is at the back of the house near the parking lot.  Please enter through the back doors at the deck.  We affectionately call it Studio 704.

• Meditation

  We love meditations and inner journeying.  Set aside some time to connect to your inner peace and bolster your inner resources. 

• Service to Our Neighbors and Community

  We periodically provide brief scheduled groups to support people limited in time or money.  NADA is a simple but powerful protocol of five points in the ear designed to support a person in detox or needing balance, NADA groups are a low-cost way to experience acupuncture and come together with stillness and presence to create a zone of peace. They are very powerful!

Wellness Center or Medical Practice?

• We are a wellness center

  Green Door Vitality and Wellness Center is designed to help you connect to and leverage your inner peace and innate healing mechanisms. We focus on decreasing pain and stress, improving sleep and well being and integrating trauma to create a healing environment for your mind and body.  

• But it says Medical Acupuncture...

  We can explain.  Our MD received her acupuncture training in the western medical model and combined it with other techniques to get at the deepest level of healing such as the accessing the unconscious mind and giving support to the parts of the nervous system that "loop" after a trauma.  We do not diagnose, treat or monitor any specific condition.  We are a specialized practice helping you remove blocks and create the conditions for healing.
