- Developed 3000 years ago by physicians in Oriental medicine who observed both the nature of good health and the pathological flow of Qi in ill-health. These physicians observed and learned to alter the subtle level of Qi that "ceaselessly and continuously circulates" through 14 major surface energy pathways on the body.
- Dynamic and ever-developing, acupuncture is able to address illness and imbalances that continue to occur over the millenia. Even today the body responds to the applied principles of acupuncture.
- Treatment supports the body to relieve the pain, correct the imbalance, and strengthen the core energy
- Classical acupuncture procedures include the use of manufactured pre-packaged sterile needles which are medically disposed of after one-time use. The body is stimulated by the painless insertion of these thread-like needles at the surface of the skin.

At the core of Rosanne's treatment lies the Kiiko style of Acupuncture characterized by its palpatory (touching) evaluative approach. Reflexes on the abdomen are released giving immediate feedback and rapid results.
Rosanne tutored personally with Kiiko Matsumoto in Boston for more than 2 years following graduation.
Acupuncture and medical qi gong derive from the same paradigm and classic texts, and are naturally compatible. Drawing from 23 years of healthcare experience, Rosanne Emanuele uses the following classic methods and procedures of healing for effective and painless treatment. The patient will feel deeply rested, refreshed, and energized.
