ACUPUNCTURE x SKINCARE ​

This series of offerings developed by Dr. Lauren Fleming integrate body acupuncture with specialized facial skills, techniques & tools to address aging concerns as well as skin conditions. These unique treatments were born out of  seeing a need for more than just cosmetic acupuncture. She developed each offering for a different cohort of patients  including patients with dermatological conditions, prenatal, or those who want and need more advanced holistic aging support by medically trained professionals. 

 

Prioritizing true health over symptom management through holistic skincare is Dr. Lauren's specialty and passion. She has invested extensively in advanced training, including cosmetic acupuncture certifications, face reading studies, gua sha & facial cupping and facial sculpting trainings, along with a 1.5-year TCM Dermatology diploma covering the top 20 common skin

conditions and their root-cause diagnosis. Dr. Lauren's credentials and spa experience, allow her to combine techniques, products, and technologies into fully personalized, luxurious and effective treatments.

CURATED ACUPUNCTURE 

Dr. Lauren Fleming has created a unique and extended acupuncture experience for the Santa Cruz community. This treatment has been built over time inspired by her mentors that she learned under, her spa  experience and her passion for having her patients meet all of the tools of traditional chinese practices. This acupuncture offering encompasses not only many varieties of modalities used for healing such as cupping, facial reflexology, red light therapy, moxibustion, gua sha, channel massage and more, but also encompasses who Dr. Lauren is as a practitioner ; attuned, multi-faceted, and personalized. As she continues to deepen her practice within this medicine, she continues to integrate more tools & modalities within this treatment. 

​

Curated Acupuncture is not your typical acupuncture appointment because Dr. Lauren is not your typical acupuncturist. As a patient at remedy, your time booked is solely dedicated to your care and wellbeing. This appointment is a 100% hands on offering, where Dr. Lauren stays in the room adjusting your treatment the entire session. This allows for you to be a part of your healing, and leaves space for you to ask questions, converse, or fully drop in to the treatment letting your mind unwind completely. The appointment is as unique as you are without any extra costs.

EMOTIONAL WELLNESS

Dr. Lauren always enjoyed listening to others, and although she studied Psychology, she knew she didn't want to be a traditional therapist. When chinese medicine came into her life, she had her answer. Not only did this medicine see emotions as important as the body, but it also was a way to talk about them and then work with how they are impacting the body. Dr. Lauren has a strong passion for the deeper emotional experiences of life, and loves to share the philosophies of this medicine with her patients to help them process both the simple & complex aspects of being human.

​

She really cares about helping people untangle their emotional experiences and hold space for hard emotions like grief, rage, shame and guilt. She strongly believes that these are all normal and important parts our human experience and many of us get stuck in shoving these emotions down. She is here to create space for your good days and down days and remind you how natural it is to have both. She enjoys conversing about this and also adjusting the physical body so that these emotions can flow more freely and allow space for your personal growth and transformation.
