Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management.
Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.
In contrast, many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Some believe that this stimulation boosts your body's natural painkillers.

Gua Sha is a technique in which a smooth friction is applied in repeated, even strokes with a flat tool to the skin’s surface. Gua in Chinese means “to rub” or create friction. Sha is the term used to describe congestion of blood at the surface of the body. There is no pain or lasting discoloration to the skin and the procedure is completely safe. This method is used to improve circulation of blood and lymph, promote healthy metabolic processes, and removes toxins from the body. It is used to treat a variety of acute and chronic health conditions including fever, cold and flu, muscular and tendons pain, stiffness, fibromyalgia, cough, bronchitis and asthma – to name a few.

Meet Your Practioner
Sarah Aronson, Lic. Ac., Dipl. Ac. (NCCAOM)
Sarah is a Nationally Board-Certified Diplomate of Acupuncture through the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and is licensed to practice Acupuncture and Eastern Medicine in both Massachusetts and Connecticut. She is also an adjunct faculty member at the New England School of Acupuncture at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.
Her passion for acupuncture grew from her own healing journey. After years of chronic health issues and exhausting Western medicine options, Sarah turned to acupuncture as a last resort. Those treatments restored her health and inspired her to pursue a career in the field so she could help others as she had been helped.
Her experiences as both student and faculty have given Sarah the tools to bridge Eastern and Western medicine. She believes Eastern medicine empowers individuals to tap into their own innate healing, and her mission is to make it accessible and understandable for everyone.
Sarah’s treatment plans are always tailored to the individual—ranging from non-invasive techniques (without needles) to deep orthopedic acupuncture and everything in between.
During sessions, you may also meet HeBe—the hypoallergenic Havanese. His paws-itive attitude bursts from a small 10-pound body, and you can find his furry smile a tail wag away. However, if you prefer to have just Sarah, HeBe is happy to enjoy a few treats and a nap in his own room during your session.
