Brain and Mood Health

Acknowledging the complexity of weight management, influenced by factors like metabolism, hormonal equilibrium, and emotional health, we provide personalized nutrition guidance, address hormonal imbalances, and suggest lifestyle adjustments. Our clients have not only achieved their weight loss objectives in a healthy and sustainable manner but also report enhanced vitality and a deeper understanding of their body's requirements, leading to lasting health improvements beyond mere weight reduction.

The time frame to observe improvements varies with each individual’s situation and adherence to the treatment strategy.

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a type of traditional Chinese medicine that’s been around for about 2,500 years. It’s used to support wellness and improve overall mental and physical well-being. The acupuncturist places needles into specific points on the skin to help activate an energy in the body, called qi. According to traditional Chinese medicine, qi is the lifeforce energy in the body — it helps regulate and move things in the body to keep us well. Stress, environmental factors, lifestyle behaviors, and genetics are some of the things that can block qi in the body. The needles help to unblock or move qi to other areas in the body to help support wellness.

What kind of needles are used for acupuncture?

Acupuncture needles are solid, stainless steel needles that are usually not much larger than a strand of hair. Acupuncture needles are placed at a very shallow depth and go between tissues, making them less painful than a typical injection.

Is acupuncture painful?

You might be more sensitive in certain areas, but acupuncture shouldn’t hurt. If you feel pain, tell your acupuncturist. They’ll adjust the needles or choose other points. Their goal is not to make you feel pain. They do a lot of work to position you properly and make sure you feel comfortable.

How will I feel after acupuncture?

Indeed you can do acupuncture or massage while pregnant. It is safe and our practitioners are very well versed in how to treat pregnant women. Please let us know when you book a treatment if you are pregnant and how far along you are.
