The many benefits of acupuncture include: pain reduction, stress , tension relief, increased energy levels, stronger digestion, relief from bad habits & addictions, and boosts your immune system.

Astrology Reiki Sessions
What is Astrology Reiki Healing?
Reiki is a Japanese energy technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also enhances and promotes healing. Reiki is administered by “laying of the hands” or with the hands placed above the body at specific locations. Reiki healing involves the transfer and balance of energy and is used to assist and support the body’s own healing mechanisms.
Astrology is the connection between the universe and man- a reflection of the human experience as portrayed through the planets, houses and signs. Astrology can unlock your mind and spirit to new possibilities and untapped resources you already possess.
