What happens during a treatment?
Once you lay down on our massage tables, you are invited to relax, close your eyes, meditate and even fall asleep.
Margi will select points according to your Chinese medicine diagnosis and leave the acupuncture needles in for 20 to 40 minutes.
It all depends on the protocol she is following at the time of your treatment.
