Mini Urban Wellness Retreat in Wicker Park

Acupuncture + EES + Sound Bath

On Saturday, May 9, 2026, Acupuncture for Balanced Wellness is excited to collaborate with SolFlo Life in Wicker Park to bring a unique wellness experience in a beautiful calming space in the heart of the city.

Step away from the pace of daily life and into a thoughtfully curated 2-hour mini urban retreat designed to relax your nervous system, restore your energy, and bring your body back into balance.

Hosted at SolFlo Life in Wicker Park, this experience takes place in a nature-inspired wellness lounge intentionally designed to support rest, healing, and nervous system regulation—allowing you to fully unwind the moment you arrive.

Your experience begins with group acupuncture in an Energy Enhancement System (EES) room on cloud-like individual beds. Each guest will receive a gentle, restorative acupuncture treatment to boost vitality, calm the nervous system, and promote the smooth flow of Qi. The acupuncture treatment is paired with immersion in the Energy Enhancement System. The Energy Enhancement System (EES) uses scalar fields and photon light to create a bio-active environment that helps the nervous system by promoting deep relaxation, accelerating cellular regeneration, and reducing stress. It helps shift the nervous system from a "stress" state to a regulated, calm state, improving mental clarity and supporting overall wellness. This unique combination of acupuncture with EES deepens the restorative healing effects of each modality.

You’ll then transition into a deeply immersive sound bath, where layered frequencies from crystal singing bowls and chimes guide the body into a calm, meditative state—helping you fully relax and integrate the treatment.

We’ll close with tea time and integration, offering a gentle space to ground, reflect, and reconnect before returning to your day.

What You’ll Experience:

  • Acupuncture to move, balance, and restore qi

  • Deep nervous system relaxation in bioactive energy fields created by EES

  • Immersive sound healing for mental and physical reset

  • Tea time to integrate, ground, and process your experience

  • A serene, beautifully designed space that supports deep rest

  • Location: SolFlo Life Wicker Park - 1834 W North Ave Floor 2 Chicago, IL

  • Date: Saturday, May 9, 2026

  • Time: 3 pm to 5 pm

Thank You for Your Patience and Support

by | Oct 30, 2025 | Acupuncture

After some time away from the office, I wanted announce that I’ve returned to the office and am now seeing patients again for acupuncture. I have been away this past month tending to my family after the unexpected and sudden loss of my beloved father.

It has been a deeply emotional time, and I want to sincerely thank all of you for your patience, understanding, and kind messages of condolence during my absence. Your compassion and support have meant more to me than I can express. 

This experience has reminded me of how precious health and family truly are. It has also deepened my appreciation for the work I do every day — helping others restore balance, vitality, and well-being. Life has a way of showing us what truly matters, and I return to my acupuncture practice with renewed purpose and gratitude. 

If you’ve been waiting to schedule your next visit or follow-up, I warmly invite you to do so. You can book online as usual or contact the office directly for appointments. I look forward to reconnecting with each of you and continuing your care. Thank you again for being such an understanding and supportive community.

At Acupuncture for Balanced Wellness, we strive to help patients achieve balanced, healthier lives. Besides treating patients with acupuncture, we often recommend herbs and supplements for better digestion, energy, and immunity.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Thorne to offer Health Tests, such as the Biological Age Health Panel and Gut Health Test. These tests provide valuable health insights and identify lifestyle modifications and supplements to suit individual needs. These affordable tests can be ordered online, done at home or a local lab, and provide detailed results directly to the patient.

Restoring a Healthy Balance with Acupuncture

Restoring a Healthy Balance with Acupuncture

by | Dec 8, 2021 | Acupuncture, Wellness and Nutrition

At Acupuncture for Balanced Wellness in Chicago, we believe that health is about achieving and maintaining balance.

We all become out of balance at some point in our lives. This can be due to overwork, stress, trauma, unhealthy eating habits, lack of exercise, etc. Over time, this takes a toll on our health and can lead to issues such as pain problems, insomnia, anxiety, depression, digestive problems, fatigue, hormonal problems, infertility, weight gain, low immunity, and just overall not feeling like your best self. Whatever your health concerns may be, we look at each individual holistically rather than just as a series of symptoms or diseases. By looking at the whole person and utilizing acupuncture and holistic medicine, we strive to help our patients achieve lasting vitality and wellness.

In the video below, our licensed acupuncturist, Angie Ng, talks about how we help our patients attain wellness through acupuncture, lifestyle and nutritional coaching, herbal supplements, and other natural therapies.
