What To Expect During Your Initial Acupuncture Appointment?
✨
An initial acupuncture appointment is 90 minutes and during this time we go in depth discussing your health concerns. Questions are asked from a Chinese medicine viewpoint which takes into account different aspects of your health than Western medicine. Chinese medicine focuses on energetic body systems and the connections between those systems which can help find the root cause of your health concerns. A lot of patients say that this approach is way more in-depth than anything they have experienced before! For the first appointment please bring in a current medication/supplement list, allergy list and applicable labs and imaging reports.
✨
Putting the pieces together and taking all aspects of you into account is what Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) thrives at. Within Western healthcare we tend to compartmentalize each system, keeping them separate from one another. TCM looks at the relationships between body systems, between you and your environment and between you and your life experiences. A tongue and pulse diagnosis is also done as well as a hands on assessment if there is a physical area of pain. All this is then blended together to give you a complete and holistic treatment.
✨
The assessment portion of the initial appointment takes approximately 45 minutes and the second half is spent in treatment where you will have your needs addressed with acupuncture. At the end of the initial appointment, we discuss a treatment plan going forward. This treatment plan can include frequency of appointments, lifestyle suggestions and alternate modalities which can be incorporated such as cupping and gua sha.
✨
The following business day you will receive an initial follow up email to see how you have responded to your treatment and if you have any further questions. Open communication, support and empowering you to have an active role in your health are fundamental to successful acupuncture treatments.

Is Acupuncture Right For You?
✨
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been around for thousands of years. It is a whole and complete medicine with multiple modalities underneath its umbrella that treats holistically while taking into account factors of lifestyle such as work, diet, climate and time of year. A TCM approach to health can involve acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, tuina massage, ear seeds, acupressure, moxibustion, heat therapy and shi liao (Chinese diet therapy). Given this varied and individualized approach anyone can benefit from incorporating TCM into their healthcare routine. Some examples of what an acupuncture treatment can help with are:

· Gastrointestinal Health – nausea, constipation, diarrhea, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s, ulcers, indigestion, IBS and hemorrhoids

· Reproductive and Sexual Health – menopause, painful or irregular periods, PMS, pregnancy concerns (morning sickness, back pain, headaches), post-partum support, infertility and PCOS

· Immune Health – allergies, auto immune diseases, asthma, long covid, lingering cough or recurring sinus/ear infections, pre and post-surgical recovery and chemotherapy side effects

· Pain and/or Injuries – back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, rotator cuff injuries, knee pain, carpal tunnel, tennis/golfers elbow, plantar fasciitis, arthritis or joint pain, migraines, headaches and fibromyalgia

· Endocrine – hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto’s, diabetes (diabetic neuropathy)

· Neurological – bell’s palsy, trigeminal neuralgia, stroke recovery, Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis

· Mental Health – anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia and PTSD

❤ ON MOTHER’S DAY ❤
Give a mother in your life the gift of a relaxing and nurturing hour of Reiki.

Mothers need and deserve more support, more care and appreciation for raising tiny little humans into big humans. Her wellbeing emanates to her whole family.

Being a mother is sacred and her wellbeing is very important. I wish our society would recognize this further and offer them more support.

All you need to do is to send me a message for making an e-transfer about $100 to a mom. She can then book her 90 min. Reiki session via my booking link anjajaskolski.janeapp.com indicating who gifted her the session.

You can be sure this will make her day. 😉

Thank you.

From my heart to yours 💞

When we are in a place of fear, overwhelm and despair, we need stability, safety and support.

Sometimes we might feel exhausted telling our story over and over again.

We just want to relax, calm down and finally feel better again.

We want to release the deep cause of our struggle and reconnect to our essence and feel grounded again.

Reiki is a non-verbal and natural energy healing technique that can help to relieve acute and chronic mental and emotional stress and ground you again.

I warmly invite you to my monthly ‘Reiki Community Day’ in Nelson where I offer 45 min. Reiki sessions for low cost. Prebooking is required. Children are always warmly welcome! Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

I’m looking forward to sharing Reiki with you.
From my heart to yours ♡
Anja
