Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient system of healing cultivated from over five thousand years of observation, investigation and clinical experience. Its treatment modalities include acupuncture, acupressure massage, herbal and nutritional medicine.

Chinese medicine is based on the key principle of balance. Its goal is to promote wellness and prevent disease by striving for balance of yin and yang, and unhindered flow of Qi (pronounced chee), the vital life force energy that is within all of us. Qi moves along pathways within our bodies, called meridians. Acupuncture or acupressure points are specific areas where these meridians rise up and connect with the surface of the skin. Stimulation of these points helps our organs, cells and tissues by allowing energy to flow more evenly, creating an inner balance and supporting the optimal functioning of our bodies on all levels.
