Acupuncture

Connect with your inner healing wisdom

Have you ever wondered at your body’s amazing ability to heal and repair itself? Broken bones mending, skin wounds healing, your body assimilating what it needs and letting go of what it does not?

Listening and following the body’s inner wisdom is at the root of all the holistic modalities. Acupuncture and polarity therapy help you reconnect with the healing source that is sometimes forgotten in the daily patterns of our modern lifestyle.

How does it work?

Acupuncture is one of the five modalities of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Our oldest texts are from more than two thousand years ago. Acupuncture is a way of life.

The acupuncture treatments work on a cumulative base, usually it takes a few treatments to feel a change. However, since it is a holistic modality, it takes care of many other problems on its way. For example, you might be coming for your headaches, but your insomnia disappears, your appetite improves and you have more energy!

The acupuncture treatment is always specifically for you at this point in time. There is no magic point for a headache. Everyone’s headache is different, since acupuncture takes care of the root cause of the problem. The pattern can be different for every single person, even for the same person in one week. So the treatment changes accordingly.

According to the World Health Organization, acupuncture treatment is safe if performed properly by a well trained practitioner.
