Whole Body Acupuncture
Whole-body acupuncture with direct moxibustion, including a consultation.
Nature through
the Needle
Korean Style Acupuncture, moxibustion & holistic therapies in the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica.
Hi, I'm Verónica
I discovered Traditional Chinese Medicine trying to help my friend with his stress levels. I have never liked chemicals nor pills so that I was trying to look for natural remedies. I am truly passionate to see how our body is connected and how it restores its own natural healing abilities with the appropriate stimulation.
I have traveled around the world learning from different Acupuncture Masters and working with people from all ages and cultures. I have worked in all types of environments from very luxurious spaces to small living rooms and the results are the same: a peaceful smile released from pain.
Today, I work in my own studio surrounded by the jungle, birds, monkeys, cacao trees and a delightful creek sound. My approach is simple. I take time to understand how you live, sleep and eat, what hurts and since when. Then, we work with a combination of techniques: needles, warmth, herbs and touch, helping your body find its own balance again. Nothing about it is rushed.

Nutrition & Lifestyle
Personalized food and daily-rhythm guidance shaped by Chinese Medicine.
Nutrition & Lifestyle
45 min · $55 / ₡25.000
Personalized food and daily-rhythm guidance shaped by Chinese Medicine.
Food and daily rhythm can prevent many illnesses. Working on prevention following simply daily habits can save you lots of money and suffering. We look at what you eat now and shift it gradually toward what your body needs, using a Chinese Medicine blend with my experience living in 2 blue zones: Okinawa, Japan and Nicoya, Costa Rica. Then we go through the rest of your day — sleep, work, movement, stress — and find the two or three adjustments that will actually stick.
Living healthier and being more aware of your body needs do not mean having a strict diet or spending half of the day at the gym.

Your first visit, step by step
If you've never had acupuncture before, here is how it goes. No surprises, no rush.
- 1
We talk
You tell me what brings you in. I'll ask about your sleep, digestion and daily life, and check your pulse and tongue, which in Chinese medicine tell a lot.
- 2
The needles go in
You lie down on the table, and I place very thin needles at the chosen points. This Korean StyleAcupuncture is not painful. Most people are surprised how little they feel. Moxibustion comes after the needles (in case your treatment includes it).
- 3
You rest
Just close your eyes and feel the healing energy your body is producing. Many clients fall asleep to the sound of the jungle.
- 4
We make a plan
I share what I found and what I suggest next, so you leave knowing what to expect and how many sessions it might take.
