ACUPUNCTURE + CUPPING
The Sunny Special
This service takes your healing into an even deeper realm of relaxation and rejuvenation. Your session starts with our acupuncture treatment, activating your Qi, or life force energy, and preparing the body for a journey of healing. After the needle retention, you’ll transition into a physical body work session using the ancient technique of fire cupping. As you lie face down, the gentle application of heated cups to your skin creates a therapeutic suction effect, stimulating circulation and releasing tension from deep within your muscles. This combination of acupuncture and fire cupping is a truly holistic experience.
GOOD FOR any of the above conditions with an extra need of following: releasing tension in the neck and shoulders, a detox, improved circulation, tight muscles, lower back pain, or just for a deeper relaxation
First-time patients are scheduled for a 120-minute session, while all subsequent sessions are 90 minutes.
FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE
Building upon the principles of traditional acupuncture, facial acupuncture takes the spotlight in this rejuvenating service. Your practitioner will carefully place fine needles into the face & body with a focus on the following: wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, puffy or sunken eyes, droopy eyes, and age spots. You’ll rest for needle retention while your Qi moves through the body, correcting any root cause imbalances as it ebbs and flows. Retention is followed by the application of facial cupping and gua sha techniques. The aim of this treatment is to reinvigorating the skin naturally, combatting wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating blood flow and promoting collagen production. Facial acupuncture provides a holistic approach to address various cosmetic concerns.
GOOD FOR wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, puffy or sunken eyes, droopy eyes, age spots, acne, facial muscle tightness, jaw pain, uneven skin tone and texture, relaxation and stress reduction
All facial acupuncture sessions are 90 minutes.
Contraindications:
CUPPING MASSAGE (Without Acupuncture)
Experience cupping like no where else. 60 minutes of relaxation and bliss as your tension melts away. Our licensed practitioner will begin with an organic jojoba oil for sliding cupping on your back. The sliding will allow for a deep stretch within your muscles, opening up the channels and blood flow in places it has been stagnant for quite some time. Now that your back is prepped and ready for some release, sliding cupping will be followed by two rounds stationary cupping. Cups will remain in place, while you and your nervous system rest, giving your body the okay to release and let go. We'll finish with a hot towel, herbal CBD and some body work. Almost like a massage, only better.
GOOD FOR any pain, tightness, or discomfort in the back, neck or shoulders, anyone looking to release tension, stress, headaches, detoxification, cough/cold, weakened immune system
STATIONARY CUPPING (Without Acupuncture)
If you're looking for basic cupping therapy without acupuncture, or sliding cupping, our stationary cupping service is perfect for maintenance or when you're short on time. The treatment lasts 30 minutes and includes up to two rounds of stationary cupping only (no sliding). A quick treat!
GOOD FOR any pain, tightness, or discomfort in the back, neck or shoulders, anyone looking to release tension, stress, headaches, detoxification, cough/cold, weakened immune system
NEUROLOGICAL INTEGRATION SYSTEM (NIS)
Looking to heal on another level? NIS is a system that incorporates ancient eastern medicine practices with current neuroscience and promotes self-healing through detection and correction of signaling disruption in the nervous system. During this service, your trained practitioner will utilize a series of prioritized protocols to perform muscle tests to identify any issues that have been pushed past your body’s tolerance levels. Once identified, NIS protocols facilitate your nervous system to reset the circuitry in order for all body systems to return to your optimal potential.
GOOD FOR asthma/allergies, back/neck/structural pain, children, depression, digestion, hormone imbalance, infertility, insomnia, learning difficulties, migraines/headaches, neurological function
This is a 1-on-1, 60 minute uninterrupted service with your practitioner.
NIS + ACUPUNCTURE
An unbeatable combination of NIS (see above description) followed by acupuncture. Once the NIS session has concluded you will have time to integrate and heal deeper by ending you session with an acupuncture treatment.
GOOD FOR asthma/allergies, back/neck/structural pain, children, depression, digestion, hormone imbalance, infertility, insomnia, learning difficulties, migraines/headaches, neurological function

WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. When the body is out of balance, disease arises.
A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat the following pain (low back, neck, shoulders etc), stress, anxiety, mental wellbeing, digestive issues, headaches, arthritis, irregular menstruation, and fertility.

WHAT IS CUPPING?
Cupping is a technique that uses small glass cups as suction devices that are placed on the skin to disperse and break up stagnation and congestion by drawing congested blood, energy and toxins to the surface.
Cupping therapy can be used for many different ailments, but is most commonly sought out for the treatment of pain and tension. Cupping is effective in shortening colds, coughs, and fevers and works as an overall detoxification for the body. Most often cupping is performed along the back, but is also effective for the shoulders, knees, calf and hamstrings and abdominal area-especially effective for menstrual cramping.

WHAT IS FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE?
Facial acupuncture, sometimes referred to as cosmetic acupuncture, is an alternative treatment that involves thin needles being inserted into specific points on the face. This practice is believed to increase circulation, stimulate collagen production, and relaxed facial muscles, hence reducing the appearance of wrinkles and promoting a more youthful appearance. Facial acupuncture sessions at Mount Sunny include facial cupping and facial gua sha.
WHAT IS NEUROLOGICAL INTEGRATION SYSTEM (NIS)?
Your nervous system is the master controller of all body functions down to the cellular level. Like the conductor of a symphony, the nervous system coordinates all your bodily functions to create a balanced and sustainable state of health. When signaling breakdowns between your nervous system and body (due to trauma, stress, infections, and chemical imbalances) symptoms can develop as your nervous system loses communication with organs, muscles, joints, the immune system, hormonal system, etc. NIS practitioners find these signaling disruptions, and facilitate your nervous system to restore the functionality of electrical and chemical signaling pathways. Since your nervous system, not the practitioner, makes these corrections, NIS is 100% accurate and safe.
How it works
In order to identify any disrupted signals from your nervous system to the rest of your body, a practitioner using the NIS system (a series of prioritized protocols) holds specific anatomical contact points and performs a muscle test to identify any issues that have been pushed past your body’s tolerance levels. Once identified, NIS protocols facilitate your nervous system to re-set the circuitry in order for all body systems to return to your optimal potential.
Why it works
Regardless of the complaint, real causes can only be resolved when the neurological circuitry that governs ALL body function is considered. Only the nervous system knows WHY it occurs and how it can be rectified. NIS has been under development since 1987 by Allan Phillips D.O. from Auckland, New Zealand. It is based on principles of modern neuroscience along with traditional healing practices including acupuncture and East Asian Medicine.
