Acupuncture and Acupressure
Acupuncture uses very fine needles to stimulate points on the body that promote healing. Acupressure is similar but does not use needles. Both can be used to relieve pain, reduce stress, improve circulation and relieve fatigue. Most importantly, acupuncture treatments feel great!
Because acupuncture effects the body on so many different levels, it can be used for a wide variety of issues. The World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture as an effective mode of treatment for chronic and acute pain. It is very effective for those suffering from injuries, headaches, neck and back pain, tendonitis, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and fibromyalgia.

Energy Psychology
An integrated mind and body approach to emotional well-being. Energy Psychology is based on the principles of ancient Chinese medicine and the concept that energy flows within the human body along pathways or meridians. Disconnections along these meridians result in emotional and physical issues can be remedied via a non-invasive stimulation to the energy points, or gently tapping on the points.
Within energy psychology the following principle is found: everything in the universe is now understood to be made out of energy, including our thoughts. In our perception objects appear physical and solid, yet in reality it is all energy, thus, we are absorbing and sending energy at the same time and interacting within a sea of energy. Using this premise, energy psychology is based on an understanding of how individuals can heal themselves by increasing the flow of energy within their body and shifting to thoughts that build and attract positive energy.
