A heart-centered wellness approach
It’s essential for us that our clients get heart-centered customized wellness care that is designed around their needs. More and more people are turning to Acupuncture and (CAM) Complementary Alternative Medicine for the kind of steadfast, highly-personalized, compassionate care they grew up receiving from their family doctor or primary care physician (PCP.) Five Element Acupuncture offers a highly holistic form of “Slow Medicine,” with our “talk/treatment” approach. As the healthcare world continues to change, Zara Acupuncture and Wellness can provide you and your family with the individualized support and care you need during these changing times. We have wonderful patients and would love to help you as well!

Sufi Healing
Sufi Healing is a form of remote telemedicine that offers a wonderful alternative to acupuncture. It can feel as good as a treatment and addresses many of the same health conditions and issues that acupuncture does, including pain, illness, anxiety, grief, fear, anger, trauma, and various physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual conditions. Many of our past traumas, negative experiences, and memories are stored in our hearts, bodies, and spirits. The effects of these can distort our life experiences and obscure our authentic nature. Sufi Healing practices help to transform stuck issues at the core, releasing these distortions and conditions so we can reconnect with our essential nature. This healing modality can be done in-person or via secure teleconference in the safety and comfort of your own home, wherever you reside. Sessions are 60 to 90 minutes in length and can be done individually or concurrently with acupuncture treatment, and are held weekly, bi-weekly, bi-monthly, or as-needed.
