My gentle approach offers all the powerful benefits of traditional acupuncture . . .. magnified by Reiki energy work

Acupuncture helps to balance, strengthen, unblock, and revitalize the body's "electrical" and energy systems in very gentle yet powerful ways.

As a rule, my patients feel no pain or discomfort during needle insertions. I use the finest needles and, typical of Japanese acupuncture, I use as few as possible and insert them less deeply than traditional Chinese acupuncture. This approach is especially beneficial for those with extra-sensitive nerves and is ideal for patients with fibromyalgia who often can't tolerate other types of acupuncture.

When enhanced by Reiki energy work (I am a certified Reiki Master), the powerful effects of acupuncture are magnified.
As demonstrated through thousands of years of practice, acupuncture:

​

• Is especially effective in reducing pain throughout the body. (The American Medical Association now recognizes the benefits of acupuncture for treating chronic pain, including lower back, menstrual, heart, and cancer-related pain.)
• Promotes the immune system in fighting disease and allergies
• Counters the effects of fibromyalgia, arthritis, and musculoskeletal injuries
• Helps digestion and gastro-intestinal functions
• Boosts energy, bodily strength, and mental clarity
• Helps strengthen the respiratory system
• Reduces stress and increases positivity
• Improves sleep
• Helps the body fight addiction
• Reduces food cravings and improves weight management
• Helps counteract postoperative and chemotherapy nausea
• Supports stroke rehabilitation
• Promotes overall good health and longevity --- the ideal preventive medicine!

Of course, because each patient is unique, acupuncture's efficacy will vary with each individual.
