Barefoot Acupuncture Peterborough is currently a private practice, operated by me, Marianne Pedretti. The clinic is located in Peterborough, Ontario also known as Nogojiwanong and is in the traditional lands of the Michi Saagiig Anishinaabeg. I am grateful for their care for, and teachings about earth and all our relations.
Community acupuncture treatments are not essentially different from private acupuncture. It's acupuncture following a treatment plan designed for the main issues of concern. The difference is that the delivery of care includes multiple clients receiving treatments at the same. It's a typical way for acupuncture to be offered in China.
If you are new to traditional Chinese medicine, please know that many questions will be asked about your specific health history and issues. It's all part of the process to help understand the underlying patterns. Please know that all the information collected is kept confidential and health records storage follows the legal requirements for health care practitioners.
I'm a believer in a collaborative approach to treatment meaning I will encourage your feedback. I want to create a safe space for people to feel that they can attend to their health issues and trust that their needs will be respected. Consent is integral to the treatment process and the treatment can be modified to best meet the clients' needs.
Acupuncture treatments typically consist of an assessment, diagnosis, and treatment phase. Initial appointments take longer as there is more of an emphasis on health history information being shared. Assessment includes analysis of this information along with tongue and pulse taking and also may include palpation of acupoints and meridians.
