Strengthen Your Mind, Body and Spirit with Qigong

qi-gong-classes(1)

Qigong is an ancient moving meditation and an internal martial art. It is a set of slow, mindful movements to balance the body’s vital life force.  It can be described as a mind-body-spirit practice that improves one’s mental and physical health by integrating posture, movement, breathing technique, self-massage, sound and focused intent. This beneficial practice allows one to find a place of stillness within the movement and heal the body, mind and spirit connection.

I have been to quite a few practices and Lara at Lutea Acupuncture is by far the best acupuncturist. She takes the time to work with you and the results are life changing. My whole family has been fortunate to work with her and all of us agree she is the best! If you have the opportunity to see her I would recommend her highly for all healing.

Lara is an amazing Qigong instructor! She is so very knowledgeable about chinese medicine and beautifully weaves all of that wisdom into into her qigong practice. I have been studying under her for 6+ years now, and am utterly amazed at how much learning qigong with Lara has changed my life! She is truly one of the BEST there is!She is also a very skilled, compassionate acupuncturist/healer. She treats the whole body, mind, and the soul.

I highly recommend Lara! I have had a surprisingly great and healing response to her treatments. Everyone I had seen previously had been unable to suggest any relief and I had just about resigned myself to chronic pain. I imagine she would be helpful to almost anyone with any condition!

I have been seeing Lara for over 5 years and I cannot recommend her enough. Over the years she has become an integral part of my preventative health care routine. She has helped me with many health issues including, balancing my hormones, digestive issues, and aches and pains. Each appointment I feel heard and cared for and leave feeling more balanced. I feel so lucky to have found her and be able to recommend her to friends!

Lara listens thoughtfully and allows you to be as engaged as you'd like in your care. Weather you're new to acupuncture, scared of needles, or experienced and looking for someone to integrate different approaches, she's got my highest recommendation! Lara has helped me through deep valleys and has my utmost trust. I can't recommend her enough.

I have been a patient of Lara's on and off for the last four years. Lara has supported my healing on so many levels. I have suffered from lower back pain, disc issues and various types of pulled muscles from my years of being an athlete. I have always felt an incredible benefit from Lara's treatment of Acupuncture. I really appreciate her as a professional. Lara is calm, sincere and highly knowledgeable. I like that she can also advise people around using herbs. I feel like I learn something new every time I visit her office. I also love how quiet and relaxing it is in the treatment room. I always drift off to another world during my sessions. I highly recommend Lara for all your Acupuncture needs!

I’ve been going to Lara for years! She’s fantastic!! Lara has intuitive knowledge of the body and provides a super supportive environment. I always feel “reset” after an acupuncture session and my physical body generally feels lighter. She’s wonderful at what she does!
