Essence acupuncture applies the theories of traditional acupuncture and Chinese medicine with contemporary western medical knowledge to provide the most effective and unique treatment plan with every client. Essence provides a high quality service and only uses the finest quality, sterile needles and equipment available.

Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine has been used for over 2,000 years and is based upon the principles of “the way of nature” or Tao. Understanding the different elements of nature and the cycle of Qi (pronounced chi), the Chinese built a system of medicine to help create balance and harmony of yin and yang, within the body- like the flow of nature.

Qi is the life force or energy that circulates around our body and through our environment. If the flow of Qi is disrupted, the body fails to maintain a healthy balance, and disease or illness follows.
Acupuncture is the painless insertion of the finest, sterile needles along specific healing points on the body, to adjust the flow of Qi
