We offer Private Acupuncture Treatments in a quiet healing space which accommodates only one patient. Private acupuncture is recommended for those with complex conditions, as the practitioner will have extra time and space to treat both sides of the body. Private acupuncture is also recommended for patients new to acupuncture who may prefer a extra privacy on their first visit.
