WTHN, healing at home

New at-home tools to help you relax and restore.

How do I keep this feeling? 

After a session with Dr. Heather Louks, guests always ask the same thing. 

Our answer is WTHN, now at The Beach House Spa at Ocean Edge. It's the at-home line from the New York acupuncture studio of the same name. Rooted in Chinese Medicine, its acupressure tools work the same points as acupuncture, with steady pressure. Think of it as healing at home. 

Same points, two ways in 

Acupuncture and acupressure share one idea from Chinese Medicine: the body has specific points that, when stimulated, help it relax and find its balance again. 

In acupuncture, a licensed practitioner like Dr. Heather places very fine, sterile, single-use needles at those points. Acupressure works the same points with gentle, steady pressure, which makes it something you can do yourself, on your own time. 

Why guests book acupuncture 

Research supports acupuncture for chronic back and neck pain, knee arthritis and headaches. Many guests also come to Dr. Heather for stress relief and better sleep. Every session starts with a short conversation about what you'd like to work on. 

Where WTHN comes in 

WTHN's practitioners say real results come from consistency. They designed their at-home tools to bridge the gap between acupuncture sessions, so the calm lasts longer than the drive home. 

New to it? WTHN suggests starting with ear seeds. They take very little time or technique, and people use them to support stress relief, sleep and overall well-being. 

Tight back, neck or shoulders? The acupressure mat is WTHN's go-to for unwinding after work, after a workout or before bed. 

Go easy at first. WTHN recommends 10 to 15 minutes on the mat, building up to 20 or 30. A little tingle in the first few minutes is normal. 

What's on the shelf
