Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of small needles into the surface of the skin. This stimulates your body’s nerve endings, which in turn initiates the brain to activate pain relieving and healing responses throughout your body.
Massage
Massage is an incredibly effective therapy that can be utilized to restore body mobility, flexibility, and well-being. As a therapeutic method, massage will benefit everyone who feels stressed, tired or suffer from stiffness and pain. Besides the pleasure of feeling more relaxed, the blood circulation will be improved allowing your whole body, including joints and limbs to be more flexible.
Hara Diagnoses
“Hara” is a Japanese word meaning abdomen. The technique focusses mainly on palpation of your abdomen giving the practitioner a clear understanding of underlying issues and ability to address them accordingly.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping is an ancient modality of traditional medicine that effectively treats a wide variety of issues. Suction cupping provides muscle and fascia relaxation, as well as improves blood circulation.

More Testimonials
Take a look at what just some of our satisfied clients have said about Live by Design Health Center
Yelena’s treatment had an effect from square one. It took time but eventually not only could eat my meals without kneeling, but I no longer had to take opioids for the pain. So, it was a no-brainer when I found I had pain in my shoulder that I would return to Yelena for help. She did her magic once again. She knows her stuff and I would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone in need of her services.
Yelena used acupuncture throughout the pregnancy to help with morning sickness symptoms, heartburn, indigestion, leg cramping and swelling. My baby was transverse most of my pregnancy.Yelena was able to use an acupuncture technique to get the baby to turn head down, in preparation for delivery. I was overjoyed!
Yelena was so amazing. In our first meeting she examined my body and right away knew exactly what was wrong, more than any doctor could have told me, more than any doctor could have helped me. After just a few sessions with her I was feeling energized and on a healthy path. She healed my body and restored a healthy environment for me to conceive a baby and to hold the baby to his full-term.
I now have a healthy little boy. Yelena and her husband are both very good at what they do. They are very caring and great people.

FAQs
According to Yelena, the value of acupuncture is based on three main categories. First two she calls the two 'E's: Effectiveness and Efficiency! Acupuncture treatment is effective - always giving desirable results, and efficient - providing help much faster than any other healing method in alleviating pain and bodily discomforts, preventing further development of diseases or different bodily disharmonies. And the third significant factor acupuncture should be praised for - No Side Effect!
Sometimes you may feel some little "mosquito bite' you will forget about in a second or two. Usually, my patients have a nice rejuvenating sleep right away after they were needled. For those of you who fear needles I may say that there are half of my patients were feeling the same way until the first needle was placed in the body.
Acupuncture needles are made of pre-sterilized stainless steel; they are disposed in a sharps' container straight after they are withdrawn out of the body, just like you get rid of a disposable coffee cup after you finish drinking your coffee. When the needles are in a professional hand of experienced acupuncturist, there is nothing, but cure can be a result of acupuncture treatment.
You know this good English idiom, "We will cross the bridge when we come to it?" It's a very wise saying. The problem you have can be cured in one treatment if you have it for a few days. The problem you have collected for many years will be eliminated as soon as you stop feeling the symptoms. Usually, people make 3 - 7 weekly visits, then the next treatment is scheduled in two weeks, then in four weeks. The most of my patients come once a month for maintenance treatment to feel excellent and enjoy their lives.
