About Black Canyon Wellness

     Escape the urban clamor and discover tranquility in the heart of the Emmett Valley, near the picturesque South Slope. Black Canyon Wellness, a serene haven near Emmett, Middleton, Caldwell, Star, and Eagle, offers a unique acupuncture experience. With over a decade of expertise, I prioritize a patient-centric approach in a peaceful setting, away from the bustle of the Treasure Valley.

     Traditional Chinese medicine underscores the therapeutic power of heat, crucial for effective healing. I incorporate far infrared heat therapy using an Amethyst Bio Mat, enhancing the acupuncture session with deep relaxation, reduced inflammation, and increased circulation. The Amethyst crystals contribute to a sense of calmness and balance, elevating the overall treatment experience. Infrared heat with crystals propels the heat and allows it to penetrate much deeper into the body than a traditional heat pad. Every session includes this special mat, ensuring not only relaxation but also heightened treatment efficacy.

     As I pursue certification in Functional Medicine, a holistic approach to health from the inside out, anticipate revolutionary programs addressing wellness comprehensively. This new set of knowledge and skills will allow me to further assess and serve my patients by treating the person as a whole rather than diagnosing a symptom and prescribing a medication that will only serve as a "band-aid". Existing patients will enjoy loyalty discounts on Functional Medicine evaluations, fostering a fruitful health and wellness journey together.
