Essential Wellness Acupuncture affords its patients an amazing opportunity for health, growth, and transformation. Treatments focus on creating and holding a secure environment for the individual to work with the physical/​emotional/​intellectual barriers to their health. Approaching health care from the health maintenance and disease prevention side rather than viewing health as an absence of disease allows for a unique space in which the practitioner and client can work together toward reaching the patient’s wellness goals. In offering individualized treatment plans, we assist the patient in taking a greater degree of responsibility for their own wellness and to gain a greater sense of control over their health.
