Jessica Breton, L Ac

Last week I had a treatment from Jessica Breton at my hospital/spa. She does acupuncture at the Supportive Care for Healing at U of A Cancer Center.  I recently overcame my fear of needles to try acupuncture and am now a huge fan. It has had a very salubrious effect on me.   I expect when one is very ill it might be super curative.  Jessica is like the other practitioners I have met at the hospital, extremely competent.  She has additional skills that she uses in her private practice that are not employed at the hospital. As my treatment progressed I already felt good, but when she commenced to to cranial sacral work while I wore my needles I just loved it.  It was noticeable  to me that this was only my third acupuncture treatment and I was relaxed and looking forward to the boost of euphoria that I now associate with it.   I had a big fear of needles that had existed since early childhood.  I still do not want anyone to give me a shot or take my blood, but these needles are really super friendly.

Jessica has a low key style that made me feel very relaxed.  In fact, at one point I asked if the needles were still in because I had no sensation of them.  The resulting effects were not subtle. I noticed a freeing and balanced feeling that I am starting to know comes from acupuncture.  In her private practice she does cupping and moxa as well as Tui Na. These modalities are similar in that they diagnose by reading pulses and your tongue.  They address the balance of chi in the meridians.  Tui Na works on the ligaments to restore balance and order.  Each can be powerful alone, but combined they make an effective treatment more beneficial for the body.
