The body is a remarkable network of interconnected systems, each one affecting the others. We now know that our environment, emotions, relationships, work, and living conditions, all play a crucial role in shaping our health and well-being. That’s why, our main goal is to understand what disrupts this delicate balance and find ways to restore inner harmony.

- ABOUT ACUPUNCTURE
- THE PROCESS
- SESSIONS
Acupuncture is globally recognised for its efficacy in alleviating various ailments including pain, depression, nausea, and digestive issues, and is increasingly integrated into Western medicine around the world.
After all necessary preparations are complete, we will begin your treatment. Your session will typically last for 30 minutes and may include acupuncture alone or with electro-stimulation, tailored specifically to your condition. Depending on your needs, additional techniques such as cupping or trigger point release may also be incorporated by the practitioner.
We may recommend maintenance sessions of 3-6 treatments every 6 to 8 weeks to prevent relapse. Additionally, seasonal treatments can be beneficial for preventing symptom recurrence, such as with seasonal allergies, or boosting the immune system to reduce the risk of seasonal flu and associated complications.
