ACUPUNCTURE
What is ACUPUNCTURE?
SAFER SIX is proud to be a safe space for body-positive, sex-positive, inclusive acupuncture.
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment that consists of inserting thin needles in specific parts of your body to produce a brain reaction that releases natural painkillers and neurotransmitters. This relaxes you and creates a unique sensation of relief. Our experienced Registered Acupuncturists are very professional, and will guide you through the process if this is your first time experiencing the benefits of acupuncture.
Learn more about our current therapists below, and how to book an appointment.
