Services Offered
Acupuncture
Laura practices Japanese Meridian style acupuncture and moxibustion. She has extensive training in Qigong, incorporating this ancient healing energy therapy in all of her treatments.
Based on traditional Chinese concepts, Japanese meridian therapy places great importance on palpation, careful location and gentle stimulation of reactive points.
Japanese meridian therapy employs gentle techniques penetrating only the surface of the skin making it less invasive and painful.
It’s suitable for younger, weaker and more sensitive patients.
Moxibustion and Qigong are often used alongside acupuncture.
In moxibustion, leaves of the mugwort plant are burned near acupoints. This promotes healing and stimulates the flow of qi.
While Qigong is an energy healing, mind-body therapy that helps bring balance back into the body. Treatment involves meditation, controlled breathing and movement exercises.
