DEFINITION OF ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow, known as Qi (pronounced “chee”). These points are located on the body along pathways called meridians, which are believed to be channels through which Qi flows.
According to TCM theory, when Qi becomes blocked or imbalanced, it can result in pain, illness, or other health issues. Acupuncture aims to restore the proper flow of Qi, promoting balance and facilitating the body’s natural healing processes.
From a modern scientific perspective, acupuncture is thought to stimulate the nervous system and the immune system, triggering with needles the release of various biochemicals such as endorphins (natural painkillers) and serotonin (a neurotransmitter associated with mood regulation). These biochemical responses may help alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote overall well-being.
Acupuncture is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including pain management, stress reduction, digestive disorders, insomnia, and reproductive health issues. It is often used in conjunction with other TCM modalities such as Chinese herbal medicine and therapeutic massage to optimize treatment outcomes and support health.
ACUPUNCTURE SESSION
Your acupuncturist will gather information about your medical history, current health concerns that may be relevant to the treatment.
Once the consultation is complete, you will be guided to a comfortable treatment room. Depending on the specific condition being addressed, you may be asked to change into loose clothing to facilitate access to the acupuncture points.
The acupuncturist will then carefully select the acupuncture points to be stimulated based on the patient’s individual needs and the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. Sterile, hair-thin needles are inserted into these points with precision and care. While some may feel a slight sensation upon insertion, acupuncture is generally not painful.
After the needles are in place, you are typically left to relax for a period of time, usually around 20 to 30 minutes. During this time, you may experience sensations of warmth, tingling, or relaxation. Many patients find acupuncture sessions to be deeply calming and rejuvenating.
Once the session is complete, the needles are gently removed, and you are encouraged to rest for a few moments before resuming their daily activities. Depending on the individual treatment plan, patients may require multiple acupuncture sessions to achieve optimal results.
Throughout the session, your acupuncturist may also incorporate other therapies such as moxibustion (the burning of mugwort near acupuncture points), cupping (the application of suction cups to the skin), or electroacupuncture (the use of electrical stimulation with acupuncture needles) to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.
Overall, an acupuncture session is a gentle and natural approach to promoting health and well-being, addressing both physical and energetic imbalances within the body

I am passionate about East Asian medicine and approach my practice as a collaborative, dynamic exploration. I believe in health projects, rather than health problems. I specialize in the meeting of the shen (spirit body) with the elemental physical, and have had phenomenal results working with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other imbalances of the nervous system. I also treat all forms of musculoskeletal issues. When we are open to source, there is no limit to the amount of healing that can be achieved.
