Heart Opening: Acupuncture & Skincare Workshop

Join us as we celebrate the heart and heart space, while honoring our community’s need for connection and care.

In this workshop, we will be working with you on an individual level to address whatever skin issue you desire. We will offer a mini facial treatment that focuses on the facial area you elected to work on, coupled with acupuncture point Heart7, the master tonification point on the heart channel. You can expect feelings of deep relaxation and connection with yourself, as well as improved facial complex and product absorption post-needle retention.

What is Facial Acupuncture?

Facial acupuncture employs tiny, facial needles inserted into the face to address any issues of fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, or sagging. Body acupuncture points are also done to ground and address imbalances occurring that are more than skin-deep.

THE EXPERTS: Emily Cronin and Taylor Hurley

Emily Cronin L. Ac. is a board certified acupuncturist by the NCCAOM and a licensed acupuncturist by the Louisiana State Medical Board. She trained in London, England and was a member of the British Acupuncture Council prior to relocating to New Orleans, Louisiana. Emily has trained in many different styles of Chinese medicine including: Traditional (TCM), Classical approaches, Dr. Tan's balance method, Kiiko Matsumoto and the Hara diagnosis, Five elements, Auricular acupuncture, Scalp acupuncture, Japanese meridian therapy and Jing Fang. She is passionate about life long learning and enjoys selecting and blending different styles of acupuncture and Chinese medicine for each client and their concerns uniquely. Chinese medicine emphasizes the role of lifestyle and moderation in the cultivation and preservation of mental and physical well-being. Discovering what physical and mental well-being mean to you is a balance that is personal to each individual. Rather than treating isolated symptoms, Emily works with her patients to restore balance to the system as a whole. She incorporates other modalities like cupping, moxibustion, dietary therapy and more in conjunction with acupuncture to provide my patients with dynamic treatments. Emily believes education is important in empowering patients with tools they may bring home to live more in harmony with their bodies, mind and environments. She is honored to serve the New Orleans community and looks forward to sharing her passion for Chinese medicine with you!
