Congratulations!!

Planning a wedding is one of the happiest times of a woman’s life.  The road to matrimony can also become a hectic and stressful time with long “To Do” lists.  Self-care is important to stay clear, focused, and balanced.  Acupuncture treatments reduce stress, help clear the mind and ease tension that crops up between booking vendors, finding the perfect dress and making seating arrangements.

Stress can be seen on the face.  Acupuncture naturally relaxes facial muscles. Many women experience the calming effects of acupuncture as soon as the fine needles are inserted. The diaphragm relaxes, allowing for qi and blood flow to normalize. To stay calm and carry on with the relaxed sensations felt during the treatments, deep belly breathing meditation techniques are practiced in between each session.

Stress can accompany other conditions that acupuncture can treat, like excessive worrying, bloating, fatigue, tension headaches and muscle strain. Point prescriptions are made to supports the unique needs of each bride-to-be. Over-thinking every detail before bed can lead to restless sleep, baggy eyes in the morning and fatigue. Under stress it is easy to succumb to cravings for salty greasy foods or overindulgence in sweets.  Excessive eating of certain foods can lead to weak muscles, heartburn, indigestion and bloating. Balancing work and wedding planning can cause adrenal fatigue. A peaceful space is created in the treatment room for woman to relax, renew and rejuvenate.
