These needles are used to restore balance in the meridians and organs, allowing the body to heal itself and maintain a healthy state.

Meridians are a complex network of vertical lines that in the body that transports Qi to every cell, tissue, and organ . Meridians influence the organs and all of the bodily systems (skeletal, muscular, endocrine – hormones, circulation, digestion, respiratory, urinary, reproductive, and nervous systems.

Qi (chee), means energy or Life force. The bodily organs need Qi to function, and therefore, heal and regenerate.

“There is no function without Qi, and no Qi without function”.

Good health depends on a balanced distribution of Qi through the meridians.

The first appointment, which includes consultation and treatment, is 70 mins. Follow- up appointments are 45-60 mins.

All treatment plans are unique and specialized to each individuals needs. Typically, it is recommended 2-3 treatments per week for 2-3 weeks. This may be shortened as some people respond favourably to treatment, while others it may take a bit longer.
