Acupuncture
The principal aim of acupuncture in treating an individual is to restore the equilibrium between the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the whole person. By inserting fine needles into acupuncture points found along the pathways, the body’s own healing response is stimulated to restore its natural balance.
Cupping
Specially designed glass cups are heated in such a way that when they are applied to the body a vacuum is created and the skin is gently pulled up into the cup. Cupping is used to relieve back and neck pains, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, rheumatism. Cupping is one of the best deep-tissue therapies available. It is thought to affect tissues up to four inches deep from the external skin. Toxins can be released, blockages can be cleared, and veins and arteries can be refreshed within these four inches of affected materials.
Moxa
Moxibustion is a form of heat therapy using dried plant materials called “moxa” made from the dried leafy material of Chinese mugwort (Artemesia vlugaris) that are tightly bundled in the shape of a cone or stick. The cones are placed on acupuncture points and burned from the top to affect warmth or in the case of a moxa stick, waived near the surface of the skin along the channels. Moxibustion warms and nourishes the flow of Qi to invigorate the body and dispel certain pathogenic influences.

There is a wisdom belying her presence that pours forth in everything that she does, a wisdom that comes from a place of love.”
