About Acupuncture
Acupuncture is extremely effective at relieving acute and chronic pain. According to traditional acupuncture theory, pain is caused by blocked energy channels. Insertion of very fine, sterile, disposable needles is relatively painless and releases blockages almost immediately. Western medical research indicates that acupuncture stimulates the release of natural cortisol and endorphins, which combat pain.
Accompanying treatments are: moxibustion for warming points; and cupping to increase blood flow.
Needle-free acupuncture is also available. Mini electro-gel pads are placed on certain acupuncture points and a very mild electric stimulation is applied. It is a gentle, pleasant and effective treatment.
Acupuncture is useful for pain syndromes, especially for back, neck and shoulder pain. It is helpful in stress related disorders such as insomnia, headaches, and menstrual pain. Recently it has been proven to be very useful in improving fertility.

About Reiki
Reiki is a universal healing energy that is transmitted through the hands of a ‘tuned’ person, called a Reiki channel. The energy is used by the recipient’s body to repair itself. The laying of hands on the body initiates the flow of Reiki. It is experienced as warmth, tingling, peace and a profound feeling of well-being. Reiki is a wonderful addition to any treatment as it brings both peace of mind and healing.
