The essence of acupuncture lies in balancing the flow of Qi, the life force, through meridians or pathways in the body. These meridians can be likened to highways, starting in the hands or feet and extending throughout the body. By using acupuncture points as gateways, the flow of energy is brought back into balance, promoting healing and well-being.
Carleen’s acupuncture services are offered in a personalized and private room setting. During the initial consultation, lasting one hour, a treatment is administered. Subsequent follow-up sessions, which last 45 minutes, continue to focus on the individual’s unique needs and progress.
For those seeking accessible and affordable treatment, Carleen also offers Group Acupuncture sessions.
The collective energetic field established in a group setting enhances the effectiveness of treatments.
Whether it’s auricular acupuncture for anxiety, emotional eating, or smoking cessation, or body and scalp acupuncture for wellness and pain relief, these group sessions provide a supportive environment for healing and balance.
At Body Positive Works, we understand that every person’s journey to health is unique. With Carleen’s expertise, compassionate care and a commitment to integrating Eastern and Western approaches, our acupuncture services go beyond symptom relief to foster a holistic sense of well-being.

Acupuncture is a healing method from Traditional Chinese Medicine. It’s thought that when the body’s energy, or qi, gets blocked, it can cause health problems. Acupuncturists put thin needles into special spots on the body to fix the energy flow and help you heal and relax.
