Services
Acupuncture
Traditional acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate specific points, promoting natural healing and pain relief. Based on Chinese medicine principles, it addresses conditions like chronic pain, stress, and digestive issues. Treatments last 45-90 minutes, with initial consultations including detailed health assessments. Cornelia's expertise in Beijing-trained techniques ensures precise, effective care tailored to individual needs.
Facial Acupuncture
Facial acupuncture enhances skin vitality and reduces signs of aging through micro-needling and energy flow stimulation. Complemented by TuiNa massage, it improves circulation and collagen production. Sessions include holistic body points to balance overall energy. A six-session course is recommended for optimal results, with discounts available for pre-booked packages.
Cupping
Cupping therapy uses glass cups to create suction, releasing muscle tension and improving circulation. Moving cups are employed for broader areas, while static cups target specific points. This technique, rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, effectively addresses back pain, respiratory issues, and detoxification. Sessions integrate seamlessly with acupuncture treatments.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies heat from burning mugwort to acupuncture points, enhancing energy flow and treating cold-related conditions. It's particularly effective for arthritis, menstrual pain, and digestive disorders. The warmth penetrates deeply, complementing needle treatments. Cornelia uses both direct and indirect methods to ensure patient comfort and efficacy.
Tui Na
TuiNa is a therapeutic massage technique that manipulates acupressure points and meridians to restore balance. It alleviates musculoskeletal issues, improves circulation, and reduces stress. Combined with acupuncture, it offers comprehensive relief for conditions like neck pain and sciatica. Sessions adapt to individual needs, using rhythmic compression and stretching.
