Yaelle’s philosophy states: “We are born without an attached owner’s manual! The physical body is your vehicle in this lifetime. That vehicle must be maintained. Each individual’s vehicle is unique. Every person must find their own Truth. What technologies & practices aid or maintain your vehicle? The knowledge exists. Discover it and be transformed! What may work for one being may not for another. Within the realms of healing – acupuncture, herbal therapy, homeopathy, N.A.E.T., B.R.T.,  bio-magnetic rebalancing, aromatherapy, Reiki, etc. Each person must find his/her Truth. Within that truth is the key to health-full living and well-being. Enjoy the Journey!”

Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine in which thin needles are inserted into the body. It is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine. As an acupuncturist, Yaelle consults with patients of all ages about their symptoms in order to diagnose the issue and treat it using acupuncture needles and other tools. Her main objectives are disease prevention and immune enhancement.
