Pier’s acupuncture practice embraces the full spectrum of wellness, offering a holistic view that integrates mind, body, and spirit. She draws on the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to address not only physical conditions like muscle and joint pain, migraines, and digestive imbalances but also emotional wellness, such as anxiety, stress, and sleep disturbances. With a compassionate, individualized approach, Pier creates personalized healing experiences that nurture every aspect of your being.

A key area of focus for Pier is Women’s Health, which in TCM is known as the "Women’s Gate of Life." Pier offers tailored treatments that support fertility, pregnancy, and menopause, honoring the natural transitions women experience and empowering them to find balance and vitality at every stage of life.

For Pier, touch is a sacred part of healing. She integrates Tui Na - Traditional Chinese Medicine massage - into her treatments, either alongside acupuncture or as a stand alone service. These custom massage techniques blend ancient Chinese medicine wisdom with therapeutic touch, opening the body’s energetic channels and fostering profound relaxation. Pier’s massages not only soothe but bring the body into balance, calming the mind and rejuvenating the spirit.

Facial Acupuncture is a signature therapy in Pier’s practice. This deeply nourishing treatment goes beyond the surface, addressing underlying imbalances that contribute to premature aging, dull skin, and tension. Through the artful use of acupuncture needles and massage techniques, Pier helps stimulate circulation and collagen production, leaving the face glowing with a radiance that comes from within.

Pier practices Qi Gong and Reiki, time-honored practices that combine movement, breathwork, meditation, and energy healing to help align and replenish one’s Qi (the universal life force energy in TCM). Pier feels her daily practice enhances her own well-being, while also infusing her treatments with a deeper sense of intention and healing energy.

Before embracing the healing arts, Pier worked as an Interior Designer, where she helped create harmonious, beautiful spaces that inspired joy and well-being. She now carries that same spirit of healing and beauty into her acupuncture and wellness practice, helping clients experience balance and serenity in every aspect of their lives.
