Chinese medicine is a form of healthcare with a several thousand year history. Acupuncture and herbal medicine compose two branches of Chinese medicine; they are used to prevent disease by maintaining a good state of health, and to treat acute or chronic disease. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles into specific points on the body to regulate the flow of energy (qì 氣) and Blood  (xuè 血) to restores imbalances and alleviate pain. Chinese herbal medicine utilizes classical formulas, often modified to suit one's individual condition. Rooted in Daoist philosophy and observations of nature, Chinese medicine provides an ancient outlook on today's modern problems. 

Pranic Healing is a style of medical Qigong that uses prana or qi (or vital energy) to accelerate the body's natural healing processes. According to the Pranic Healing philosophy, diseases first appear as disruptions in the energy field (or biofield) before manifesting as ailments in the physical body. Pranic Healing is applied to the bio-electromagnetic field (sometimes known as the aura), which absorbs life energy and distributes it to the organs and glands. It is an energy healing modality based on the principle that the healing process can be accelerated by increasing vital energy to the affected part of the physical body. Kylie trained in this method with her teacher, Jenett Ashley, a direct disciple of the founder, Grandmaster Choa Kok Sui, for 7-years before attending Chinese Medicine school. She combines it with knowledge of Chinese medicine theory, the acupuncture meridians and acupuncture points on the body.

Community acupuncture takes place in an open room with other individuals also receiving acupuncture treatments. This style includes less time talking at the start of your treatment and more time relaxing on the table, dropping all those daily tensions. The collective energy of several individuals entering a healing state in the same space is unique to community acupuncture, similar to a group meditation. It is fabulous for those seeking to increase their frequency of follow-up treatments, but suitable for new patients as well!
