About Us - The Indigo Center for the Creative and Healing Arts

The Indigo Center for the Creative and Healing Arts was founded in 2005 to meet the needs of Virginia residents seeking non-invasive and tradition-based treatment for a wide range of ailments, pain relief, wellness, and improved energy.

The Center provides a set of treatments from ancient eastern and western cultures such as acupuncture, massage, and hypnosis therapy. The Center often receives referrals from traditional medical providers and the staff is experienced in traditional medical fields as well as the Creative and Healing Arts. You will receive complete confidentiality in all communications with The Center staff.

The Center is located in Fluvanna County between US15 and Union Mills Road (VA616) on North Boston Road (VA600) in a relaxing wooded setting with a pond. We welcome you to The Center in a comfortable reception area with complimentary herbal teas. Five private rooms are used for therapy as well as for consultation. A large multi-use room provides facilities for special yoga, dance, and exercise events. Fluvanna County has fully certified The Center as a medical building, and The Center is handicapped accessible.
