Acupuncture is an ancient healing therapy that has been used for thousands of years to restore balance and harmony in the body. At Lilac Wellness Spa, we use gentle, evidence-based acupuncture techniques to help your body activate its natural ability to heal.


✨ How Acupuncture Works

Acupuncture is based on the flow of energy—called Qi (pronounced “chee”)—through channels known as meridians. When Qi flows smoothly, the body feels balanced and healthy. When it becomes blocked or weak, discomfort and illness can appear.

By inserting ultra-fine, sterile needles into specific points, acupuncture:

  • Stimulates your body’s nervous and hormonal systems

  • Encourages blood and lymph circulation

  • Triggers the release of endorphins, your body’s natural pain relievers

  • Supports better sleep, digestion, and stress balance

Modern research shows that acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system, improves circulation, and reduces inflammation — making it effective for pain, stress, anxiety, women’s health, and more.


🌸 What to Expect at Your First Appointment

1️⃣ Initial Consultation (about 90 minutes)Your first visit begins with a detailed conversation about your health history, lifestyle, and main concerns. We’ll discuss your goals, explain how acupuncture may help, and design a personalized treatment plan.

2️⃣ Gentle TreatmentOnce you’re comfortable, very fine needles are placed at selected points. Most clients describe the sensation as light, warm, or tingly — not painful. Many even drift into deep relaxation or sleep during treatment!

3️⃣ After Your SessionYou may feel calm, refreshed, or slightly tired (a good sign your body is rebalancing). Some clients notice improvements right away, while others feel gradual change over several sessions.

We recommend starting with weekly treatments for 1–3 visits, depending on your condition, and then spacing out as your body regains balance.
