Acupuncture is a powerful healing modality that has been used for thousands of years to promote balance, relieve pain, and enhance overall well-being. Anne-Marie Acupuncture combines traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) principles with modern techniques to provide personalized care that addresses both physical and emotional health.
In this guide, we’ll explore the key acupuncture techniques used by Anne-Marie, how they contribute to wellness, and what you can expect from a session.
Understanding Acupuncture for Wellness
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points (acupoints) along the body’s energy pathways (meridians) to restore the flow of Qi (vital energy). When Qi is blocked or imbalanced, it can lead to pain, illness, or emotional distress. By inserting fine, sterile needles into these points, Anne-Marie helps the body regain harmony and activate its natural healing abilities.
