Treatments

Hari is a gentle, non-invasive needling style from Japan. Very fine gold and silver needles touch the skin or are inserted only superficially at acupuncture points. Throughout the session Patti checks your pulse and abdomen, which tell her how the treatment is progressing and when the body has shifted back toward balance.

It treats many common and complex conditions, and it's equally valuable as regular care for general health and wellbeing.

Acutonics uses precisely calibrated tuning forks placed on acupuncture points, along with Tibetan singing bowls on areas of the body. The vibration travels along the meridians to move energy. It's deeply relaxing, works beautifully alongside needling, and is a good option for anyone who prefers no needles at all.

As a certified herbalist, Patti prescribes traditional Chinese formulas matched to your individual pattern, with options suitable for children. Herbs are priced separately from treatment and vary by formula.

When treating children, needles are not used. Instead, Patti uses special pediatric tools to gently stroke the meridians, guiding the energy. Sessions are short, from about 15 minutes for little ones up to 45 minutes for teens, and are well suited to colds, digestion, sleep, eczema and asthma.

Patti completed a gynecology certificate program that included six weeks in the gynecology department of Hunan TCM Teaching Hospital. She supports patients through:

• Menstrual pain, irregular cycles and PMS
• Fertility support
• Pregnancy comfort and breech presentation, using moxibustion, sound and light stimulation
• Perimenopause and menopause, including hot flashes and night sweats

Moxibustion gently warms specific points with the herb mugwort and is often used to nourish energy or, in pregnancy, to encourage a breech baby to turn. Every plan also includes practical dietary and lifestyle suggestions so you can keep feeling the benefit between appointments.
