For thousands of years acupuncture has been used to relax the mind and body. Tiny needles (about the thickness of horse's hair) allow us to painlessly harmonize your Qi, or energy source. When the body is out of balance one can experience an array of symptoms like stress, anxiety, depression, decreased energy and even physical symptoms like headaches, sore and tense muscles.

"After my due date had come and gone, I went in to see Cristina to help move my labor along. With her expertise in acupuncture, I went into labor that evening and had a beautiful baby boy within 24 hours of seeing her. The labor was fast and I didn't have to use and medication to help induce labor. Not only was the procedure highly effective, Cristina was wonderful which is why I highly recommend her!"
