specifically how it feels. Is it sharp? Is it dull? Does it come and go? Is it affected by the weather? Every tiny detail makes it unique and that's what we do, we cater to you. That's the basis of it." Khosrowjerdi incorporates the Japanese practice of Reiki into her acupuncture treatments, taught to her by Kiiko Matsumoto, whom she studied under for three years at Tri-State College of Acupuncture. Being Reiki Level I and II Certified, Khosrowjerdi helps to ease any mental, emotional or physical stress or trauma by the use of a healing energy. "The Reiki," Khosrowjerdi explained, "I find to be really effective when I notice that for some people, acupuncture itself is not enough. And what I mean by that is most patients will feel good initially after treatment, but notice their symptoms returning shortly after a session." In conjunction with acupuncture, utilizing a variety of other techniques such as Chinese face reading, an herb known as Moxa, and essential oils can help to extend a treatment session. "I like to use every little tool that I can so a combination of the Reiki and essential oils is a no-brainer for me. It works great for people's chakras and it helps me to break down and explain to patients what's happening and why." Once she figures out the root of the issue, as well as the branches (different issues stemming from the main problem), Khosrowjerdi will figure out the proper treatment for her patients, how often they should see her, and what they can do to help further the treatment. Sure, the thought of needles can be scary, but once you're in the acupuncture room with Khosrowjerdi, surrounded by calming music, your fears will fade off the table just as fast as your pains. You'll soon learn that the whole procedure is actually quite relaxing and relatively painless, and by the end of your session, we can promise you'll be a convert to this ancient Chinese medicine, just like we were.
