Facial Acupuncture
Also known as cosmetic acupuncture or facial rejuvenation, Facial Acupuncture is a specialized training which helps to revitalize and brighten the complexion, as well as reduce fine lines and signs of ageing. The use of facial acupuncture points have been used for thousands of years dating back to the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC). Deeply rooted in the fundamental principles of Chinese medicine this treatment not only addresses the appearance of the face from the outside but also addresses any underlying conditions the individual may be working with.
I trained in facial acupuncture because I have a deep appreciation for the self care aspect of this treatment. I love being able to help one take an active role in protecting their own well-being and happiness especially during periods of stress.
By using points around the body and on the face we can address the imbalances found in the nervous system and other areas while creating a radiant glow on the outside. I am passionate about holding space in an environment where one can reach a sense of relaxation and leave with a new found vibrancy.
I love this treatment because anyone can benefit from facial acupuncture as it is an individualized approach to self care and self kindness.
