Rachel offers acupuncture as part of a holistic approach to health and wellness. Acupuncture is an ancient healing technique that has been practiced for thousands of years. It involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow and promote natural healing.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is based on the principle that energy, known as Qi (pronounced "chee"), flows through the body along pathways called meridians. When this energy becomes blocked or imbalanced, it can result in pain, illness, or other health issues. Acupuncture works to restore the balance and flow of Qi, helping the body to heal itself.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

During an acupuncture session, Rachel, our trained and licensed acupuncturist, will carefully insert sterile needles into strategic points on the body. These points correspond to specific meridians and organs, and their stimulation helps to regulate the flow of Qi. Acupuncture is virtually painless, and many people find it deeply relaxing.
