Services
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing system that dates back over 3000 years.
Part science and part art, acupuncture works to direct the body's natural energies away from patterns of pain and upset, toward their original states of health and balance.
Tiny hair-thin needles are placed at various "acupuncture points" on the body.
Acupuncture is one aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
It works in conjunction with diet, exercise and lifestyle habits.
Adjunctive techniques that are used along side of the needles include moxibustion (the burning of a special herb, Artemisia vulgaris or mugwort), cupping, Tui Na (gentle Chinese therapeutic massage), electro-acupuncture and many other techniques - some of which don't involve needles at all.

How should I prepare?
Most importantly come in with an open mind.
Acupuncture is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, not a Western Medical model.
Some concepts are the same but some are drastically different.
I will do my best to explain every action.
Women should wear a tank top underneath as I often need to access to the upper back/neck area.
Please refrain from wearing one piece dresses.
If you'd like to bring clothes to change into that's fine.
Also if you need to be draped that is okay as well.
