Desiree Merulli

Desiree Merulli has practiced acupuncture since 2001 and massage therapy since 1998. Desiree employs a gentle acupuncture technique to allow your body to adjust to the needles before balancing the Qi. During your treatment session, non-needle therapeutics including fire cupping, tuning forks and massage therapy are incorporated to enhance the acupuncture treatment so you leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
