Acupuncture consists of inserting fine needles into specific points on the skin. These points are chosen to help energy move through energy pathway called meridians.

In combination with acupuncture I use shiatsu, cups and moxibustion depending upon what is needed.

Acupuncture can help with most conditions muscular skeletal problems, fatigue, head aches, hormonal issues, depression, anxiety, tension in the body , cancer treatment side effects. 

Just ask me  about your condition.

SHIATSU

Shiatsu is an ancient Japanese style clothed massage done on a futon on the floor .  The word 'shiatsu' means finger pressure. Shiatsu techniques include gentle pressure using fingers, thumbs, feet and palms along energy lines in the body.  I often include stretches.  

Shiatsu is great for relaxation, improving blood flow in the body and aiding healing.

All pain is blocked energy, so shiatsu, like acupuncture, helps to move the energy.

Wear comfortable clothing.

COMBINATION OF ACUPUNCTURE & SHIATSU

I find this very effective.  By giving shiatsu first I can better identify the issue you are having before placing needles.  Healing outcomes are improved through using both modalities.  Sometimes acupuncture or shiatsu will be more suitable for your condition.  This can be discussed on appointment.

​

CUPPING

I offer glass fire cupping.  Cups are placed on your skin to create suction.  This  helps with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.  Cupping is fantastic for muscular tension.
