Experience the gentle and precise placement of acupuncture needles at key points on your body. Acupuncture aims to harmonize the flow of energy, or qi, within your body, promoting balance and addressing a wide range of health issues.

Complement your acupuncture sessions with cupping therapy, a practice that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This technique can enhance circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote overall relaxation and healing.

Bodywork may also be added to your treatment. Melissa’s unique style incorporates aspects of Shiatsu, Tui Na, Swedish Massage, Reiki, and other multiple energy frequencies, as well as Cranio -Sacral therapies.

In conjunction with acupuncture, and bodywork, I may recommend herbal supplements to support your healing journey. These herbal remedies, derived from traditional Asian Medicine, can further enhance the benefits of your acupuncture sessions.

Intuition Medicine® is a system of energy healing, developed by Francesca McCartney PhD and taught at the Academy of Intuition Medicine® in Sausalito, CA. I’ve learned the use of multiple forms of energy honed through extended hours of meditation and training of my intuition. This system utilizes these skills to help patients heal on a deep emotional, energetic and spiritual level.

Energy healing is a an ancient practice, dating back thousands of years. Every culture has practiced a form of energy medicine. The Chinese and Indian medical systems, brought us the understanding of the flow of qi in the body, the aura and the seven chakras (major energy centers in the body). Through the use of qi gong, tai chi and breath work, these traditions taught students to harmonize, strengthen and create flow in their body to treat and prevent illness. Indigenous shamans also were revered by their communities for their ability to work with the energetic and spiritual maladies facing their people.

Energy work is also powerful at helping process difficult emotions / emotional trauma by helping the stuck energy of these emotions, often somaticized in the body, to release. There are also various Chinese medicine defined energetic systems where we store these emotional wounds, which can be accessed through acupuncture and processed through the use of Intuition Medicine® and energy healing.

When working with patients who have had physical complaints, it was at first surprising to me how often there was an energetic or spiritual aspect to the condition. In my practice, I have witnessed a wide range of symptoms resolve or greatly improve, often where other forms of medicine were not successful. I am no longer surprised how often this form of medicine aids in big shifts in the body. It also is incredibly synergistic with the use of acupuncture. I invite you to explore the depths of your consciousness, cultivating self-awareness and fostering a deeper understanding of your thoughts and emotions, which could unlock answers to seemingly mysterious health concerns.
