ACUPUNTURE
- Developed 3000 years ago by physicians in Oriental medicine who observed both the nature of good health and the pathological flow of Qi in ill-health. These physicians observed and learned to alter the subtle level of Qi that "ceaselessly and continuously circulates" through 14 major surface energy pathways on the body.

-  Dynamic and ever-developing, acupuncture is able to address illness and imbalances that continue to occur over the millenia. Even today the body responds to the applied principles of acupuncture.

-  Treatment supports the body to relieve the pain, correct the imbalance, and strengthen the core energy

-  Classical acupuncture procedures include the use of manufactured pre-packaged sterile needles which are medically disposed of after one-time use. The body is stimulated by the painless insertion of these thread-like needles at the surface of the skin.

JAPANESE STYLE ACUPUNTURE

At the core of Rosanne's treatment lies the Kiiko style of Acupuncture characterized by its palpatory (touching) evaluative approach. Reflexes on the abdomen are released giving immediate feedback and rapid results.

Rosanne tutored personally with Kiiko Matsumoto in Boston for more than 2 years following graduation.

TREATMENT
Acupuncture and medical qi gong derive from the same paradigm and classic texts, and are naturally compatible. Drawing from 23 years of healthcare experience, Rosanne Emanuele uses the following classic methods and procedures of healing for effective and painless treatment. The patient will feel deeply rested, refreshed, and energized.

Acupuncture
Moxibustion - referred to as "moxa" a procedure using the herb mugwart/artemesia either at the base of or at the tip of the needle
Medical Qi Gong - the passing of healing energy above the body surface

Payment for all services is due at the time of your visit.  Since there is no receptionist, it is most convenient to arrive with your payment: cash, check or charge, ready before the session begins.  This is also a good time to schedule several return visits.

Other than sudden emergencies, 24 hours advance notice is required for cancellations.  You may miss one non-canceled appointment without consequence.  Also, if you cancel with too short a notice but I am able to fill the slot, you are not responsible for the fee.  In all other cases, you are responsible for appointments you make.
BEFORE YOUR VISIT
You are welcome to arrive a bit early to use the bathroom or help yourself to some tea or water.

DURING YOUR VISIT
No particular belief or knowledge of acupunture is needed for good results, however, an attitude of receptivity to treatment is helpful.
