Improve your health, stamina, and general well-being with acupuncture. Every aspect of life is affected by acupuncture. Acupuncture is helpful with many health conditions, including: fatigue, many chronic conditions, autoimmune disorders, allergies, digestive problems, insomnia, infertility, ear infections, headaches, asthma, back pain, joint pain, menstrual disorders, hormone and emotional imbalance, depression, addiction, stress, and anxiety.

In addition to acupuncture, I also offer other healing modalities to either complement the acupuncture or as stand alone treatments in themselves. Some of these include reiki, meditation and visualization techniques, Reiki, Body Talk, Qigong exercises, diet and lifestyle support and changes to help you achieve the most physical and emotional health possible. When you visit my office, you will experience one-on-one time with me for about 45 minutes. Many people use this time for themselves without feeling rushed, or feeling like they are in an assembly line of patient health care. I am passionate about empowering people to take their health into their own hands for transformational results. I am also inspired to experience my patients' abilities to see possibilities in their lives where before they only saw limitations.

About Michelle DeStefano:
I graduated from a two year Master’s Degree program at the Traditional Acupuncture Institute in Columbia, Maryland in October, 1998. I then completed a nine month program in the Toyo Hari system of acupuncture and have continued my studies in Toyoi Hari ever since. I have traveled to Japan for intensive training and have been a certified Toyo Hari practitioner since 2000 and have been a licensed acupuncturist since 1999. Toyo Hari is a unique form of acupuncture in that we use silver, cobolt, and gold needles with non-insertion techniques to get optimum healing benefits—patients tend to find these treatments very relaxing and pain-free. I am also a Reiki Master and a certfied Quantum Touch Practioner.

Periodically, I teach Qigong Exploration through the Jefferson County, WV Adult Education programs. Qigong is an ancient Chinese healing system of “movement in meditation” designed to help the body/mind stay balanced, and heal illness and chronic conditions such as pain, blood pressure and much more. I teach people how to create an energy field in the hands and how to collect that healing energy to send it back to the body for healing and energy balancing producing a wonderful form of preventive medicine. Please consult their website upcoming classes: http://www.jcprc.org.  If you wish to arrange for a private Qigong class, please call me at 304/261-8077.
