Welcome to Body Unbound Acupuncture.

Jodi Rose, certified acupuncturist, brings over two decades of holistic experience to create personalized healing journeys with acupuncture, massage, cupping, and gua sha,. 

Jodi specializes in the psychophysiological approach to healing from chronic or acute pain, immune support, stress reduction, and restoring your natural energy balance. 

Psychophysiological or Somatic: This perspective highlights the inherent unity of mind and body.

Often, physical complaints are somatic responses rooted in stressors you might not even be aware of. Our conversations and attuned energetic sensing with Jodi allows for a deep exploration of the impact of unknowingly held emotions. She encourages you to delve into your reactions and triggers of experiences past and present. When the energy of your emotions from issues in your life have become lodged in your body, acupuncture can then encourage processing of emotions and release. This exploration can be profoundly liberating, shifting your energy towards lightness and allowing pain to release more readily.

Having personally overcome chronic pain resulting from a severe car accident, Jodi deeply understands acupuncture's transformative potential. This experience fuels her gentle and intuitive dedication to helping you release deeply held trauma and rediscover your body's innate capacity for healing.

    Looking forward to connecting with you!

  • At your first appointment, you will have filled out an intake form which you can either download before or fill out upon arrival.

    We will go over your health history, health concerns, and goals for treatment. Eat a light meal prior to a treatment in order for you to feel grounded and connected to your body.  

    Wear loose clothing, preferably shorts.

  • Treatments are given on a comfortable massage table. For most treatments, it is necessary for the acupuncturist to have access to your chest, abdomen, legs, arms and head. Treatments are given to your whole body in order to create a circuit. 
    Treatment points are chosen based on the information the patient has provided via the intake form, conversation, pulse, tongue and palpation. Palpation throughout the body is done to look for any constrictions or energetic manifestations such as heat or cold, edema, (damp) rigidity, or softness. Once the acupuncturist  has an intention for the treatment, needles are inserted. When I treat, this first aspect is not necessarily relaxing because I tend to ask for feedback and want to know what is coming up emotionally for the patient. As needling takes place, I feel it is important for the patient to feel comfortable enough to verbalize an issue they might be thinking about. This is important because more often than not, the thoughts we have, if not verbalized will make it difficult to shift the energy of the body. The mind, body, and spirit are connected in one person. 

    Once the needles are in, a heat lamp or moxa may be used in conjunction with the treatment to either warm an area, bring grounding, or move energy. 

    Then it is time for relaxation! I will leave the room while you rest. I may suggest a mantra or some breath work if an emotional or spiritual issue needs shifting.  Then it is your job to allow the needles to work. Breath into the treatment a couple of times, and just BE for a while. During this time patients have experienced a deep relaxation, or lucid dreaming. Things may come and go, ebb and flow. Some attention to what may come up for you is beneficial. Emotions, ideas, concepts, past experiences, people. This is a time to go inward. Build your yin a bit.  And a time to LET GO of constrictions of the outer world. It is safe place.

  • Be Good To Yourself. Rest if possible. Eat well. Drink water or fresh juice. You may be sore from trigger point needling. This will resolve itself faster if you provide some self care such as moist heat from a hot shower or bath or if you have a heating pad that goes in the microwave with some water to moisten it up that is great too. Keep your body supple. Your symptoms will improve, but to what degree depends on how chronic your issue has been.  The healing process is often like peeling an onion: one layer at a time. If you come for a physical issue, it is not uncommon for there to be some emotion attached to it.  For acute issues, resolution is sooner. Your body will start to regulate itself in a more efficient way. Look for improvements with other issues that might not be what you came for. And lastly, as the days go on after a treatment, become aware of your connections and clarity. People often report feeling more connected to possibilities and more energetically clear. This can often create path leading to more power within their lives. Acupunture is a way, if you allow it, for you to become a conduit. Open and flowing, yet grounded and strong.
