Hi, I’m Michelle
Anitya (a-neet-ya)
My acupuncture practice draws inspiration from the ancient Sanskrit concept of impermanence, known as "Anitya." Anitya, a profound philosophical concept embraced by diverse religions and philosophies, beautifully encapsulates the idea that all phenomena are in a perpetual state of flux. Just as nature undergoes constant transformation, our bodies, too, are continuously influenced by both internal and external factors.
The question that arises is this: How do we discover and maintain our balance in the midst of an ever-changing body and environment?
