A medicine woman's prayer
"I will not rescue you, for you are not powerless. I will not fix you, for you are not broken. I will not Heal you, for I see you in your wholeness. I will walk with you through the darkness, as you remember your light."
- Sheree Bliss Tilsley

Acupuncture is based on the belief of the flow of energy known as Qi (pronounced chee). When the body is imbalanced it causes issues and illness. Acupuncture uses fine needles restore balance and promote the natural healing of the body.
