At the core, Acupuncture upholds the philosophy that the human body has an innate ability to repair and heal itself. As we go through life, we all have very individual experiences which affect and change how these meridians flow and circulate. If we experience a physical injury, endure a strong emotional experience or keep a poor nutritional diet, our body’s smooth system can get disrupted and the network of messages can get crossed, keeping the natural flow from taking place. 

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on treatment technique that focuses on the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. The approach is geared towards releasing tension in the body’s connective tissue to promote relaxation and alleviate pain. It can be very supportive for folks experiencing post-concussive syndrome, jaw and neck pain as well as spine and low back pain and imbalances.

Moxa or moxibustion, has properties similar to infrared light therapy. It can increase micro-circulation, decrease inflammation and relive pain. It can strengthen the effect of the needles, especially for issues pertaining to digestion, injuries, adrenal fatigue and reproductive health. It is warming and often encourages relaxation.
