Energetic Acupuncture
A no-needle therapy that works with the flow of energy through the acupoints, meridians, chakras and spine.
It utilises gentle touch and energy attunement to balance the flow of Qi without needles, but in a similar way to traditional acupuncture by moving stagnation and balancing excess and deficient energies. Being so gentle and needle-free, Energetic Acupuncture is accessible for all, especially those with needle-phobia and those sensitive to firm pressure.
The focus of the treatment is not on the ailment(s) but on the body’s innate ability to heal itself once balance is restored.

Casey is available every second Saturday.
