What Brigitte Ardea, Founder of  says about her work:
"I love being the magician with the acupuncture needles! As I get to know each client, I learn what her/his concerns are. Then, as we address these in treatment, I perform the magic of Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture in their faces: we watch lines gradually soften and disappear, puffiness recede, their skin becoming smooth, supple and glowing, and their eyes shine with radiance. Clients report more restful sleep, increased energy and focus, and greater calm and centeredness in their daily lives. They adore the miracle that unfolds in front of them."

"I’m so glad you are teaching. You have the most gentle needle technique; I think this is also one of your greatest gifts. This goes a long way in promoting acupuncture especially with all the fear of needles out there."
