Acupuncture is a key component of Chinese medicine and has been practiced for over 4000 years. This practice uses a diverse set of tools to stimulate sensory nerves in the skin and muscles to achieve specific goals or improve and overall health and well-being. Acupuncture can be an alternative to pharmaceuticals and a beautiful companion to other treatments you’re receiving. Clients notice a significant reduction in stress and improvement in both sleep and pain management - often after just one treatment! Philosophically, Qi (pronounced Chi) flows through the body through pathways called meridians. Meridians are accessed through several areas of the body and when stimulated, can help restore your natural energy and promote healing.

Body pain
Headaches
Digestive imbalances
Stress
Fatigue or insomnia
During IVF treatments
In the conceiving stage (reproductive systems)
