HOW IT WORKS
Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Joanna uses gentle, precise needling techniques to support the body’s natural ability to restore balance and promote healing. In Chinese medicine, acupuncture helps to encourage the smooth flow of Qi, supporting both physical and emotional wellbeing while helping the body return to a balanced equilibrium.
Every treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation. Joanna takes the time to understand your medical history, current health concerns, symptoms and lifestyle. She uses traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic methods, including tongue pulse assessment , as well as palpation and Chinese face reading to identify underlying patterns of imbalance.
Joanna helps support the body’s natural restorative processes, encouraging balance, improving the flow of Qi and enhancing overall health and wellbeing.
