Acupuncture is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that has been practiced for thousands of years and is now often used to complement and enhance the benefits of western medicine. Simply put, acupuncture is the physical act of inserting a needle into a specific location (acupoints) on the body to induce a physiological response.
Our bodies consists of pathways called meridians in which Qi (our vital energy or life energy) flows through. Meridians connect all organs to body structures. When there is an imbalance in the flow of Qi, disease can occur resulting in pain or illness. By inserting fine needles into acupoints, we can help restore balance to the flow of Qi.

I recently had a need to visit Carmen for her services as an acupuncturist. She started off by asking very thorough and appropriate questions which got to the very root of my needs. As such, I want to say that Carmen is a good listener...this I believe is an essential component of a good healer!
As an acupuncturist, she is amazing!! Her technique is gentle and yet extremely productive. She knew the correct spots along the various Meridians to install the needles so much so that it took only one session with her to overcome my condition. She resolved my discomfort and pain in one visit what

Acupuncture & weight management
I've been seeing Carmen DeVore Acupuncturist, once a week lately.
We have been addressing minor issues, once I have been an acupuncture client for years to keep my health and wellbeing in check.
She is gentle and associates Reiki and other modalities during the session what really makes it very pleasant!
Last week we were talking about healthy habits and nutrition and she kindly offered me to use acupuncture for cravings and weight management whenever I would be ready to do my part.
I thought would be such a great help, and said yes!
Well...
