Welcome

We are energy.  What makes us healthy, happy, and capable of being all that we can be is determined by the flow of our energy.  Acupuncture is a way of accessing our energy, aligning it, and maximizing it.  

Fundamentally, acupuncture is about the movement of energy.  Energy is what moves the body . . . our mind . . . our spirit. We all know what energy is. We could not lift our arms without energy. Or Walk. Without energy our heart would not beat. We couldn’t breathe. We couldn’t think or laugh or love.  Essentially energy is the difference between being alive and being dead.

Two thousand years ago, the Chinese discovered a circulatory life force that moves within channels throughout our bodies.   The Chinese word for it is Qi.   They discovered that if our Qi-energy is unbalanced, we are not healthy.  Wherever you have pain or other issue in your body, your energy is blocked or not moving in balance.  Acupuncture, the practice of using needles to move qi was developed to tap into the channels to tonify, sedate, unblock, and balance it.
