presence, attention, and a shared trust in the body's ability to reorganize
Care at Shape of Qi draws from acupuncture, manual lymphatic drainage, fascial and trigger point release, and buccal massage — supported by healing technologies and a carefully curated sensory environment.
Sessions here incorporate both manual therapy and acupuncture. Manual therapy reads and prepares the body — releasing structure, moving fluid, and opening tissue — while acupuncture works the channels and regulatory pathways beneath. Together they reach what neither can address alone, which is why they form the foundation of the work.
Sessions centered on manual therapy alone are available for those who prefer it. We work in 50, 80, and 110 minutes depending on the depth and scope of treatment.
Shape of Qi is an appointment-only practice. If you don't see an ideal time available, please join the waitlist and send a text — every effort is made to accommodate you.
the environment
Every session is held within a carefully curated sensory environment designed to support the nervous system and deepen the therapeutic experience.
- Solfeggio frequencies — ancient healing tones played softly throughout your session to calm the nervous system and support relaxation
- Aromatherapy — thoughtfully selected essential oils diffused to create a grounding, restorative atmosphere
- PEMF mat with far-infrared heat and amethyst and tourmaline crystals — supporting cellular recovery, circulation, and deep tissue warmth
- Advanced full-spectrum red light therapy (R+ | NIR+) — included with acupuncture sessions
- Cupping, gua sha, electro-acupuncture, and infrared lamp — incorporated when clinically indicated
new patients
discovery
25 minutes · $65 · telehealth
Choosing the right type of care is important. A Discovery Session is a 25-minute telehealth visit to help guide you toward the best approach for your needs — whether that's a session at Shape of Qi or a referral to another trusted professional.
During your consult, we'll discuss your health concerns, goals, and which modalities may be the best fit. The goal is to help you find the right path to healing — whether that's here or with another professional who can better support you.
The cost of your Discovery Session may be applied as a credit toward a treatment session.
where we begin
80 min $250 • 110 min $320
A dedicated first visit — unhurried, attentive, and shaped entirely around what you bring. Taking time to understand what you're carrying, your history, your patterns, your goals — before any treatment begins. From there the session unfolds through pulse, tongue, tissue, and pattern, with treatment following naturally from what the body reveals. Spacious enough to listen as much as to treat.
Intake forms are sent in advance; completing them ahead of time helps make the most of our time together.
restore
Restore sessions address the body's patterns of pain, restriction, and dysregulation — working regionally, systemically, or along the lymphatic and immune pathways to support the body's return to ease.
Session length reflects the depth and amount of hands-on time included. Longer sessions allow for more extensive manual therapy before needling.
regional relief
50 min $145 · 80 min $250
When pain has a specific address — knee, shoulder, low back, a place that won't let go. Focused on the region and what's driving the pattern there. No systemic agenda, just attentive work where it's needed.
craniofacial & cervical relief
50 min $145 • 80 min $250
Cervicogenic headaches, migraines, TMJ dysfunction, Bell's palsy, trigeminal neuralgia, nerve pain — when the concern lives in the head, neck, and face. Intraoral release is incorporated where indicated, including work along the jaw, pterygoids, and tongue for deeper TMJ and cervical relief.
lymphatic clearing & recovery
50 min $145 • 80 min $250
Fluid that needs to move — lymphatic congestion, edema, lymphedema, chronic venous insufficiency, and pre- and post-operative recovery, whether for cosmetic or medical procedures. Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Complete Decongestive Therapy form the foundation, supported by acupuncture and Eastern medicine where appropriate.
systemic & immune regulation
50 min $145 • 80 min $250
Behind most chronic immune presentations is a lymphatic story. For those managing autoimmune conditions, Long Covid, associated viral reactivation, and chronic systemic presentations, lymphatic drainage is central to this work — alongside acupuncture, herbal support, and red light therapy, addressing dysregulation at its source rather than its symptoms.
refine
Aesthetics rooted in health. Refine sessions work with the face's underlying architecture — fascia, muscle, fluid, and tissue — to support natural lift, structural balance, and lasting radiance. The results are a byproduct of work that goes deeper than the surface.
facial renewal
50 min $275 · 80 min $350
A session focused on the face, head, and neck for those seeking natural lift, improved contour, and a more refreshed, luminous appearance. Work addresses the underlying structure — releasing fascial tension, moving lymphatic congestion, and restoring ease and tone to the tissues. A meaningful complement to any aesthetic routine — addressing what products and surface treatments cannot.
advanced facial restoration
80 min $375 · 110 min $450
A deeper session focused on the face, head, and neck — integrating acupuncture with manual therapy for those ready to work at both a structural and regenerative level. Addresses muscle tone, circulation, tissue repair and renewal, and facial symmetry — for results that build over time. Where structural work meets regenerative care.
precision facial restoration
(coming soon)
A session focused on the face, head, and neck combining manual therapy with microneedling or nano needling — addressing hyperpigmentation, scarring, and structural renewal. Informed by East Asian medicine and herbal support for enhanced and lasting results.
hair restoration
(coming soon)
Scalp-focused treatment integrating microneedling, nano needling, and East Asian medicine to support hair health and regrowth from the inside out. Details to follow.
empty cup
80 min $250 · 110 min $320
Some sessions don't begin with a named concern. Empty Cup is for arriving without agenda — when something feels off but you're not sure where to start, or when you want to step back from targeted work and let the whole picture speak. Treatment follows what emerges. This is the session for curiosity, for listening, for what arises.
in between
Shorter, focused sessions designed to maintain momentum between fuller treatments.
ear seeding
Initial 50 min $90 · Follow-up 25 min $65
Small seeds or pellets applied to specific points on the outer ear, each mapped to a different region or system — staying in place for several days to support regulation, ease pain, and extend the effects of treatment between visits.
kinesiology taping
Initial 25 min $65 · Follow-up 25 min $45
Assessment and application of therapeutic tape to support structural alignment, relieve pain, reduce swelling, and reinforce the work done in session — staying in place for several days as the body integrates treatment.
air compression & acupuncture
50 min $90
Dynamic air compression for the legs or hips paired with a focused acupuncture treatment — supporting lymphatic flow, reducing swelling, improving circulation, and aiding recovery.
enhancements
Additional layers of support available as session add-ons.
advanced full-spectrum red light therapy
25 min $45 · 50 min $90
Targeted photobiomodulation using a 7-band spectrum to support circulation, tissue repair, and cellular energy production.
ear seeding
$45
Auricular therapy using small seeds or pellets applied to specific points on the ear to support regulation, ease pain, and extend the therapeutic effect between sessions
kinesiology taping
$25 first region · $10 additional region
Kinesiology taping for structural support, pain relief, and lymphatic drainage between sessions.
Enhancements are added by request. A quick note before your visit ensures everything is in place.
Sessions are priced at our standard rate and typically incorporate both manual therapy and acupuncture. Needle-free sessions are available at a premium rate reflecting the additional hands-on time required. You'll have the opportunity to share your preferences and any questions after booking.
