ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine where points on the body are stimulated in order to help the body to heal itself. For over two thousand years, acupuncture has been used to promote health and well-being by balancing the flow of qi (pronounced chee) or life force, within the body.

Each Acupuncture treatment is a custom protocol designed to treat your specific pattern or constitution. Treatments are offered at different price points to meet your needs - please reach out to find out which treatment is right for you.

Acupuncture at Note to Self Wellness is practiced within the framework of Five Element and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Practicing within both systems allows for the simultaneous treatment of physical and emotional imbalances within the body.
