Many frequently asked questions pertaining to Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology include the following: how many treatments are needed, does it hurt, how do I take the herbs, what type of needles are used, how quickly can I see results, how does acupuncture work, has acupuncture been clinically proven, are Chinese herbs save to take, and can other medical procedures be continued. All of these questions are answered in Jutta's TCM flyer available at Shakti.

The 6 months program offers 2 health counseling sessions and 1 Reiki session a month, food samples, handouts, CD’s, books and other resource materials, unlimited email support, a healthy cooking demo and more.

Raindrop Technique
Raindrop Technique was created in the 1980’s by D. Gary Young, N.D., based on his research with the Lakota Indians. This treatment uses Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils to support your body’s systems. The oils are dropped like drops of rain along the spine from a height of about six inches. The oils are gently manipulated along the vertebrae and back muscles. The application takes approximately an hour and can continue to work in your system for up to one week following treatment.
Essential oils applied along the back are absorbed through the nerves that feed the entire body. Within moments the oils are absorbed through the skin and in a matter of minutes through the cells of the body. Wonderfully soothing, nurturing, and relaxing, Raindrop Technique can work its benefits in immediate and profound ways. Many clients experience the following: deep relaxation, increased energy, enhanced immunity and detoxification, relief of aches and pains, renewed flexibility, postural alignment, a sense of peacefulness and feelings of well being.
Please shower before your session so the essential oils may stay on as long as possible (ideally overnight). Wear or bring clothing that is machine washable, as some residual oils may absorb into your clothing after the session. Plan on drinking 2 or 3 glasses of water after your Raindrop session. The essential oils bring nutrition into your cells and may cause your tissues to release toxins into your blood stream, lymph and skin. The water will facilitate this detoxification process. Schedule a time for your appointment so you can relax afterwards.
Rates: 1 hour - $80, 3 Sessions for $200 (a $40 savings)
