What We Offer
Our Services
Most of our patients come in for pain or stress and leave feeling lighter in ways they didn't expect. Here is how we do it.
Acupuncture
Fine needles at precise points to reduce pain, calm your nervous system, and improve sleep. Most patients are surprised by how relaxed they feel during treatment.
Cupping Therapy
Glass cups create gentle suction to release deep muscle tension, especially in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. You will feel the difference after one session.
Moxibustion
A warming herbal treatment that boosts circulation, supports hormonal balance, and helps with fatigue and cold sensitivity. Especially effective for women's health and low energy.
How It Works
Your path to feeling better
Three simple steps. No referral needed.
Book Online
Pick a time that works for you. We will confirm your appointment within a few hours.
Consultation
Claire reviews your health history, checks your pulse and tongue, and builds a treatment plan for your specific condition. If you have never tried TCM before, she will walk you through everything.
Treatment
Relax while we work. Most patients notice a shift after the first session, whether that is less pain, deeper sleep, or a calmer mind. For persistent conditions, a series of sessions delivers the best results.

What our patients say
Real experiences from people who walked through our door feeling stuck and left feeling different.
"I came in with shoulder pain that had been bothering me for months. After three sessions with Claire, the tension was completely gone. I wish I had come sooner."

James T.
Insomnia
"As a digital nomad, I had been carrying stress in my body for years. The combination of acupuncture and cupping at Piraluna was exactly what I needed. Claire really listens."

Stress and tension
What We Treat
The real reasons people walk through our door
Based on the patients we see every week, these are the conditions that bring people to Piraluna. Most arrive with more than one.
Neck, Shoulder and Back Pain
Half of our patients walk in with tension locked in their neck, shoulders, or lower back. Whether it is from desk work, travel, or years of carrying stress in your body, acupuncture and cupping release what stretching and massage alone cannot reach.
Stress and Overthinking
Nearly six out of ten patients tell us they cannot stop overthinking. Add poor sleep, tension headaches, and a body that will not relax, and you have a pattern acupuncture is built to break. Treatment calms your nervous system and helps your body remember what rest actually feels like.
Sleep Problems
Trouble falling asleep, waking through the night, or getting up still exhausted. Almost eight out of ten patients report at least one sleep issue, often tied to the pain or stress they originally came in for. TCM treats the underlying cause so your body can settle into deep, restorative sleep.
Women's Health
Painful periods, mood swings before your cycle, irregular bleeding, and the fog that comes with hormonal shifts. One in three women who visit us report both physical and emotional symptoms tied to their hormones. TCM works with your body's natural rhythms to restore balance.
Fatigue and Low Energy
Waking up tired, dragging through the afternoon, running on willpower instead of actual energy. Over half our patients report fatigue, even when they originally came in for something else entirely. TCM finds what is depleted and rebuilds it from the inside.
Digestive Issues
Bloating after meals, acid reflux, irregular bowel movements, and that heavy feeling in your stomach. More than half of our patients deal with digestive discomfort alongside their other symptoms. In TCM, digestion is central to everything. Fix the gut and the rest often follows.
