Kind Words from our Clients...
"The results from the treatments have been phenomenal.
The racing, obsessive thoughts have ceased along with the painful GI distress that I endured.
I am calmer, sleeping better, have lost the bloating and weight gain. The discomfort that I felt, when I ate, is gone too."
- Thanks, JA
"After many unsuccessful months with prescription medicines, I came to Moira to treat my severe daily migraines. After about twelve sessions, my migranes were gone entirely! Providing excellent care in a comfortable environment, Moira focuses on treating the problem itself, not merely the symptom."
- B. Knaack, UT Student

"Acupuncture has greatly reduced my asthma and allergy symptoms. Since I've been seeing Moira, I rarely need my inhaler and I have a lot more energy."
- S.J. Hahn, Environmental Attorney
"Moira's done wonders in alleviating my pain. My wrist injury had never fully healed, and was painful and weak many months later. In just two treatments the pain was substantially eliminated. I now feel no pain whatsoever due to this injury."
- M. F. Meissner, Jr., Stock Analyst
"I didn't think there was anything that could help my symptoms from Lupus. After seeing Moira, I feel like a new woman and I'm back at work."
- B. Lewis, RN
"Moira McCarthy's method of acupuncture has helped keep the carpal tunnel syndrome in my left wrist at bay for many years now. I would not be able to continue in my massage therapy practice without the benefits of acupuncture. I have referred numerous clients to Moira over the years and her treatments have helped them immensly. "
- Craig E. Matthews, RMT
"My choice was back surgery until I went to Moira and did acupuncture.
Two years later I am doing great. None of my physicians could tell me why
I recently started with a severe problem of edema. Moira’s treatment has given
me more relief than any of the physicians. Acupuncture is an amazing alternative."
- Linda Calvisi, Austin

Benefits of Choosing Cosmetic Acupuncture
January 6, 2012 Leave a Comment
Here is an excerpt from a great article in Acupuncture Today documenting the advantages of using cosmetic acupuncture vs. other more costly conventional procedures.
Americans spend billions of dollars each year on cosmetic products and procedures. Most of these provide only superficial results and in many cases cause harsh or irritating effects to the skin.
Acupuncturists have stepped into providing esthetic procedures in recent years in increasing numbers. Acupuncture facial rejuvenation is provided using needles, non-needle micro-current methods, or combinations of the two. Except for the risk of bruising from needle insertions into the face, such treatments are safer and gentler than many conventional spa treatments.
Both acupuncture and micro-current facials offer some or all of the following effects:
1. Improve and balance muscle tension (tone) to more youthful tautness. This could involve relaxation (yin) effects for tense muscles or toning (yang) effects for slack muscles or fascia.
2. Improve circulation of qi, blood and fluids (lymph) in the face and other body areas. This provides better nutrition for the cells, carries away waste more efficiently and reveals natural beauty and radiance in the face.
3. Promote healing and anti-inflammatory effects for skin lesions, acne, rosacea and other skin irritations.
4. Bring more Shen, or Spirit into the eyes.
5. Help release neuro-peptides that promote feelings of well-being on a physical and emotional level. This is reflected in the beauty of the face.
6. Stimulate whole-body benefits through micro-system effects on facial zones that connect with internal organs and body systems.
By looking at these effects it is clear that acupuncture or micro-current facial rejuvenation can potentially do much more than just lift and tone the local tissues of the face. Therefore, facial rejuvenation clients coming to acupuncturists can enjoy these expanded effects – and in some cases significant health benefits.
Energy Light Rejuvenation (ELR) is a system of micro-current and color light facial rejuvenation that I have helped to develop and teach. I have personally experienced or heard about many positive “side effects” that have been reported during series of ELR sessions. These have included:
1. Pain relief in various parts of the body.
2. Profound stress reduction.
3. Relieving fatigue.
4. Relieving menstrual cramps.
5. Weight loss (ranging from 5 – 15 pounds over the course of 10 rejuvenation sessions).
6. Relief of depression, anxiety and lack of inspiration in the creative arts.
7. And improvement of vision or function of other sense organs.
