What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a therapy originating from Traditional Chinese Medicine. Thin needles are placed at specific points of the body to support your regulatory systems. Especially the nervous system, circulation, and your body’s ability to process stress and inflammation.
Most people are nervous about needles at first, which is totally normal.
Clients say it feels like:
- a tiny pinch for a second, then nothing
- a warm or heavy sensation
- sometimes a little tingling
- very often: deep relaxation
A lot of clients say their favorite part is that it’s one of the only places they truly stop for an hour. No errands. No notifications. Just your body getting a chance to reset.
