The emphasis of this treatment is to raise the client’s level of awareness which enables them to see different perspectives rather than just the one they’re currently identifying with. A shift in perspective then opens up room for personal growth and expansion. This type of acupuncture is particularly useful for personal growth, introspection, discovery, depression, anxiety, PTSD, self-doubt and/or a feeling of being “stuck”. In addition to acupuncture, this session may include Reiki.
