Acupuncture harmonizes and balances the body and mind through gentle activation of the energy channels or meridians. Recent scientific research shows that stimulating these specific points with needles activates the body's own healing mechanism as well as the capacity to calm the nervous system. This can lead to relief of pain, improved mood and a more vigorous immune system.

Stillpoint is my word for the healing space that happens during an acupuncture treatment. It is profoundly relaxing and can bring clarity of mind, release of tension (much like a trip to the tropics), and renewed physical vitality. I have found over the years that putting delicate sterile needles into specific acupuncture points can elicit even deeper states of stillness. Here the body's wisdom knows how to make subtle shifts, bringing a greater depth of balance, clarity and healing to the whole being.

Acupuncture is a form of treatment where you can literally come into the office not feeling well and leave feeling much better. Your body's own wisdom guides the treatments as feedback is obtained through palpation, observation, and questioning. This process is very safe and gentle. You will experience Chinese, Japanese, and Korean acupuncture. The needles are sterilized and disposable.

During your acupuncture treatment, you might receive massage, electro-acupuncture, micro-current therapy, moxibustion and/or cupping, depending on your current situation. If you feel uncomfortable with needles, magnets can be used on acupuncture points instead.
