Patients and clients witness first-hand the exceptional ability of Acupuncture and T.C.M. to uncover and address the root causes of disease and its effectiveness in recovering a healthy state of mind and body.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the placement of very fine filiform, sterile (one time use only) needles into specific points on the body - depending on the individual patient's condition. Inserted properly, truly little sensation is felt. Janet's goal is not only to provide relief of symptoms but use the diagnosis of the patient and choose a treatment protocol to address the root cause of the illness to restore harmony, balance, and overall health to the patient.
Lymphatic Drainage
**Disclaimer** - This treatment is not eligible for direct billing. Lymphatic drainage is a specialized massage technique that helps direct lymph fluids toward functioning lymphatic vessels. This can be particularly beneficial when your lymphatic system is compromised, like after surgical removal of lymph nodes during breast cancer treatments, which often leads to swelling, known medically as lymphedema. Janet will use gentle, rhythmic strokes to encourage lymph fluids to move from swollen areas toward healthy lymph nodes. The massage starts at key lymphatic hubs in the neck, groin, and armpits, clearing blockages and promoting normal lymph flow. This helps alleviate swelling by ensuring that the lymph fluids have a clear path to drain away.
