About
Acupuncture & Natural Therapies began about 20 years ago. Melanie has helped and continues to help others improve health, start a family, and increase the quality of one’s life with wholesome and Natural healthcare.
As an acupuncturist, Melanie has worked with several Masters on a ‘one to one’ basis, where she refined her awareness of qi(life-force energy) and perfected her own technique.
She treats her clients with acupuncture however, she does much more.
Melanie 's unique nature of practice comes from sending qi healing to each patient during acupuncture treatment and it's adjunct therapies. This is where she also provides teaching on how to feel the qi as it runs through the various body systems. She teaches you to perceive and feel the qi in your own body during treatment!
Melanie does this in the convenience of your home. No more fighting traffic or rushing to drive to your appointment.
