We offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consult to connect and ask questions to help determine if you'd like to work with one of us. You can book this on the scheduling page.

Acupuncture is typically offered as part of a larger session and not as a stand-alone service. If you are exclusively interested in acupuncture, please be in touch.

A remote session happens from a distance. Your practitioner will call you at your appointment time. There will be a conversation that is both for gathering energetic information and part of the treatment. The Qi Therapeutics model recognizes that speaking about stressors or traumas can be beneficial for bringing our fields back into balance. After some talking, we then apply specific techniques to address the particular distortions assessed in your energy fields. We can tell you as much as you want about the specifics of what we are actively working on, or can simply give you a summary after. Emotions often come up with this work and you are encouraged to allow whatever you are feeling to show up.

At the end of the session, there is another check, and likely something to practice (some life-homework). If deemed helpful, you will be sent a write up of your session afterward.

 A session typically lasts 45-60 minutes from start to finish.

Why this works falls under the auspices of quantum physics. We are not a quantum physicists, but we know medical qigong works at a distance and trust that. The logistics, so to speak are that a treatment table is set up as if you were going to physically lie in front of your practitioner, and that is how they works on your energetic body—by having it be on the table while you are in session.

Star likes to tell the story that when she first learned about energy work, particularly energy work that happens at a distance, she literally scoffed. However, when an acute health issue arose and she couldn’t travel to see her energetic healing practitioner, she reluctantly received distance work. And she was astounded when she could feel the work happening in her body. In fact, it felt the same as when her practitioner with working on her in the same room.

No. Qi Therapeutics involves trained listening to the energy fields of the body, the organ systems, the chakras, and to the person—what do you need to tell your practitioner? What is your experience around the issue you want help with? You may not know until a session is in-progress—what needs to come up, will. We are deeply listening for the places of tension, torsion, or dissonance within the field of the story; once these places are identified, the best way to invite alignment back is utilized.

Yes and no. We encourage you to seek support from whatever modality resonates with you. 

Acupuncture is used successfully with animals and they don’t have any belief or non-belief happening

We do know that all health interventions perform better when there is buy-in from the receiver. A wonderful article that addresses patient perception is by renowned Harvard medical researcher and acupuncturist Ted Kaptchuk: The Placebo Phenomenon. You will get better results from whatever modality you choose if you have faith that modality can be effective at creating change.

Some of Star’s favorite sessions have been with infants. The process of being born often causes energetic distortions. When Star works on a baby, the moment she senses a field returning to its ideal state, the baby inevitably responds: a sigh, a twitch, a relaxing of muscle. Infants do not “believe” in energy work—they are simply responding to the changing energy fields around them.
