Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used forms of medicine in the world. Originating in China more than 2,500 years ago, acupuncture is currently one of the most thoroughly researched, practiced, and respected forms of complementary medicine available anywhere.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, your overall health is determined by the quality of the Qi (energy) flow through the natural pathways of your body (meridians). Acupuncture uses a variety of techniques, including placing very thin sterile needles into specific points on the body, to stimulate and improve your Qi flow. The many benefits of acupuncture include:
Unwind with acupuncture in a communal room, full of natural light. Community acupuncture is received with up to 4 patients in a large room, either on massage tables or zero gravity chairs. Although others are in the room, all treatments are highly personalized and the experience feels private.
Cupping is available during community acupuncture sessions--Please wear appropriate clothing such as a tank top, sports bra etc. The part of your back that needs cupping will need to be exposed in a communal room.
This treatment combines the benefits of therapeutic bodywork/acupressure session, with acupuncture. I will work with you to find areas of tension in your body and do various bodywork modalities such as deep tissue/Swedish/aromatherapy/cupping/ and tui na. After a 30-40 minute bodywork therapy, you will transition into an acupuncture session. The points will be applied and you will be left to rest and enjoy.
Cupping has been a part of Chinese Medicine for over 2,500 years. It relieves aches and pains, improves circulation, and also helps with respiratory and digestive issues. I simply place a specialized "cup" onto specific points on your body, and then use suction to draw your skin up into the cups. It doesn't hurt — it simply draws fresh blood to that area of your body, which facilitates the cleansing and strengthening of your Qi (energy). The end result is a greater overall sense of health and well-being.
