Acupuncture, or the way I practice Acupuncture, is as a RESTORATIVE treatment session, there is focus on bringing the body and mind into alignment using the breath, essential oils, touch and sometimes sound with acupuncture.
This is The Middle Way – assisting the body to find its own balance using a blend of techniques, each session unique to your needs.
Acupuncture has many mechanisms underlying its effectiveness. It touches the nervous system, the hormonal system, the circulatory system, the muscles, fascia and lymph. Just like we are multidimensional, so too is acupuncture.
