THE PROCESS
Each treatment uses flower essence oils that naturally enhances and softens delicate facial tissues. Flower essences are infusions of wild flowers that contain the bioenergetic imprint of the flower’s life force. Super packed with the Qi (chee) of the flower, flower essences instantly impact your state of mind and enhance your energy.
Each session includes the removal of your make-up with a fragrance free, sensitive skin make-up removal wipe to start with clean skin, needles, application of flower essence, facial cupping, facial guasha, and ends with light facial massage. You will have a glow and you will still look like YOU!

Facial Guasha: a method that promotes lymphatic drainage which helps to eliminate interstitial fluid that may be trapped under the skin in your face. It also stimulates collagen production to soften fine lines and tighten the skin thereby improving the tone of your face and decrease inflammation and redness.
Facial Cupping: a technique that uses suction to improve blood flow to the skin, stimulate collagen production, and promote lymphatic massage, leading to brighter, more toned facial skin and a reduction in facial puffiness. May also help to minimize fine lines and wrinkles on the surface of the skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture consists of the insertion of fine, sterile acupuncture needles through your skin to help promote health and treat illness or pain. It is part of a larger system of medicine known as Traditional East Asian Medicine (TEAM), which is based on a holistic perspective of health. Your acupuncturist may also choose to use other therapies such as massage, cupping, herbal medicine, electric stimulation, movement and breathing therapies and nutritional recommendations that are part of TEAM.
Is Acupuncture Safe?
Yes! Research has shown that when provided by a licensed acupuncturist, with the proper training, using sterile, single-use needles, acupuncture is considered very safe. The risks of acupuncture are low. Side effects might include temporary soreness, tiredness, minor bleeding, or bruising. Your acupuncturist will review the risks with you at your first meeting.
How Many Treatments Do You Need?
Each person responds differently to acupuncture and the number of treatments you need depends on how you respond and your condition. Acupuncture treatment plans are created for you, taking into account your unique lifestyle, condition and goals. Often receiving 4 – 6 treatments is enough to see if this therapy will help you. If your condition is chronic (long-lasting), you may need more treatment. Some patients choose to include regular acupuncture as a normal part of their health and wellness.
