What is Green Door Vitality & Wellness Center?
We are a wellness practice specializing in caring for people with physical pain and emotional trauma.
We are proud to have a walk-in model for Community Acupuncture that is both accessable and affordable. We have Yoga and Movement in the back of the building (affectionately called The Studio), Group meditations in the main rooms and Special Events that fit with our mission.
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 reset and restore mind and body.

And how does Acupuncture work?
There are a few answers to that question. In the West, studies have shown that acupuncture increases blood flow and therefore oxygenation to tissues and organs. This effect appears to be mediated by nervous system reflexes.
In the East practitioners talk about unblocking the flow of chi and nourishing body systems and restoring balance.
It has also been shown that acupuncture activates the endogenous opioids in the body (your inherent natural painkillers).
There is a fascinating study that found that pain relief from acupuncture can be blocked by the same medications that block opiates!
Both theories and explanations have their advantages and yet neither is complete. It's likely we still haven't determined all the ways that acupuncture helps the body activate its natural defenses and restore health and vitality. (It's true that you are your own healer and we are here to help you kickstart your wellness!)Remember nothing teaches like experience. Come in with an open mind and see the peace, calm and relief that acupuncture can bring to your life.

What about being trauma informed?
We are more than trauma informed here at Green Door. Trauma Care is our passion. We 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.
