I offer a space where you can finally pause, release, and receive.

ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is a treatment modality within traditional Chinese and East Asian Medicines. Acupuncture is widely acknowledged as a gentle, relaxing, and minimally invasive way to support our bodies in releasing tension and stress, building immunity, and self-healing.

If you are seeking support with chronic pain, autoimmune and GI challenges, nervous system concerns, menstrual health and fertility, pregnancy and perinatal wellness, perimenopause, anxiety, insomnia, and more, you are in the right place.

 

BREATHWORK

Breathwork is an active meditation tool that can help you bypass your thinking mind and arrive in your wise body, so that you may encounter and finally move through pain, grief, and emotions from a grounded place of curiosity and safety.

Through this powerful practice of circular, or continuous conscious connected breathing, you may experience a profound sense of release, as well as a deeper connection with your inner guidance system, with the people in your life, and with life itself. If you have been looking for a way to work with long-held beliefs and patterns and move into a new phase of possibility, welcome!

 

HEALING TOUCH

Reiki and Healing Touch are gentle, non-invasive energy therapies that influence the bio-field and human energy system, facilitating the body’s relaxation and self-healing response.

When you finally arrive at a place of ease, connection, openness, you may experience a renewed activation of peace, relief, and possibility. What else could be possible when you move, engage, and create from a sense of spaciousness and ease?

 

EAR SEEDS

Ear Seeds apply pressure to acupuncture points on the ear to support symptoms and imbalances that show up anywhere in the body / emotions / spirit.

 
 

HI, I’m AIMÉE.

I became a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and Breathwork Facilitator because, together, these medicines helped me finally experience what it was to feel whole and well. More than 20 years after my first treatment, Chinese medicine continues to offer a practical, expansive framework for how I learn about my health and my self, and Breathwork provides an accessible tool for my emotional and creatives selves to explore, heal, and grow.

In my trauma-informed practice, Align Acupuncture, I work with people of all genders who are ready to transform, so you too may finally experience more ease and joy in your body and in your life. Learn more about me and how my private sessions and group offerings work might support you.

  • “I've visited many acupuncturists off and on for over 10 years, and Aimée is by far the most skilled, knowledgeable, light-hearted, nurturing, intuitive and thoughtful healer I've experienced. She listens to (and remembers!) everything I've ever mentioned about my health/how I'm feeling and keeps track of all progress. With her help via acupuncture, herbal medicine, gua sha (fantastic immune system booster!), and other healing techniques, she's helped me to feel the best I've felt since I was a kid.”

  • “Aimée has the gift that not all healers can claim to have: the one to actually help you heal... Her dedication is to truly help you on the journey you are on, to get to where you have set your intentions… Her presence is very intuitive & caring, and she is deeply empathetic & really joyful, yet, with impeccable emotional boundaries that are much needed for what she is doing.”

    — C.M.

  • “I saw many acupuncturists before finding Aimee. I worked with her throughout my pregnancy and I swear my daughter is calm because of it! I've now worked with her for a few years and have done both facial acupuncture (which has aesthetic benefits and healing benefits) and regular acupuncture, as well as herbal medicine. She has kept me grounded and feeling energized enough to run after my toddler.”

  • “Aimée is a phenomenal healer. I have received several breathwork and Healing Touch sessions from her and no matter the modality, she creates a very relaxed and safe environment. I'm always deeply impressed with Aimée's compassion and loving acceptance of all things human. She makes it easy to release the stress of the outside world so you can be free to show up for your own work in a really powerful way.”

    — K.A.

  • “Aimée's knowledge, kindness and support has been instrumental to me and my health over the last 3 years. I've received in person acupuncture and taken some herbal remedies at her recommendation. I've had a few physical ailments that she's successfully supported me through, but even when I feel "fine," I do what I can to make appointments (through COVID and a relocation out of town - in person appointments are harder for me to schedule regularly). I always leave feeling a little lighter and refueled. Aimée is an amazing listener and truly attuned to her clients. My expectations of connecting to myself, feeling worthy, loved and supported are continuously met with each appointment and have me returning any time I get the chance.”
