AcuDetox comes to Live Your Light
Over the last few months, you may have noticed a new face at Live Your Light. I'd love to introduce you to Addison Hegge, who offers AcuDetox during some of my Thursday Activate, Empower, Heal group healing sessions.
Addison is a Reiki Master and Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist who was born and raised in Louisville, Colorado. What inspires me most about Addison is her commitment to her own healing journey over the past decade.
She has overcome tremendous challenges through natural and alternative medicine. Addison has recovered from injuries sustained in a major car accident during her childhood. She has worked through teenage substance use and healed from mold exposure, Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and many other health challenges. Along the way, she has embraced the deep emotional healing that often accompanies those experiences.
Through significant dietary changes, a variety of energy medicine modalities, and intentional lifestyle choices, Addison has created remarkable transformation in her life.
And now Addison is offering healing modalities to support others on their journeys.
When I learned she was certified in AcuDetox, I immediately invited her to offer treatments during my group healing classes. I was delighted when she said yes.
One of the things I appreciate most about AcuDetox is how beautifully it complements the energetic work we do in class. AcuDetox works through the Physical body using acupuncture points in the ears to access the Qi body, which relates to the emotions. At the same time, our group healing focuses on the Energetic body. Adding AcuDetox to our energetic work magnifies the healing by empowering multiple levels of the Self to release, rebalance, and heal in harmony.
What is AcuDetox?
AcuDetox is a specialized acupuncture treatment designed to calm the nervous system and support emotional and mental well-being.
Five small acupuncture needles are gently placed in each ear. Similar to reflexology, the ear contains points that correspond to the organs and systems of the body. Together, these five points are used to support both emotional and physical detoxification. The needles remain in place for at least 20 minutes while you simply rest and receive.
This simple yet powerful treatment has been used around the world to support people experiencing anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, trauma, PTSD, and addiction recovery. Many people also choose AcuDetox to reduce stress, quiet the mind, and cultivate a greater sense of balance and well-being.
When I receive AcuDetox, I experience a profound wave of energy releasing through my body. Almost immediately, I can feel my nervous system settle and relax. My mind becomes quiet, almost as if my thoughts are gently draining out of my body.
Sometimes I barely feel the needles, while other times the points are tender as needles are placed. Many practitioners interpret tenderness as an indication of stagnation in the related organs, ready for a release.
Occasionally, a needle will pop out during the session. Addison explains that this can happen when that needle has completed the work it needed to do.
For Addison, AcuDetox became an important part of her own healing journey. She describes it as helping her come back into her body, feeling more present, grounded, and balanced.
Today, she shares this gift through her work with Boulder AcuDetox, supporting low-income clients through grant-funded programs, individuals in addiction recovery, workplaces caring for frontline employees in high-stress professions, and people navigating traumatic experiences. She is certified through the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA).
Whenever Addison is available to attend my Thursday Activate, Empower, Heal class at 10:00 a.m. in Lafayette, she offers AcuDetox to anyone who is interested. There is never any pressure to participate, and a suggested donation of $10 goes directly to Addison.
While you are comfortably lying down to receive the energetic healing, you have the opportunity to support your physical and emotional well-being through AcuDetox. I love how these two healing approaches work together to create an even deeper experience.
I'm grateful to have Addison as part of the Live Your Light community and excited to make this beautiful healing modality available to those who feel called to experience it.
I hope you'll come meet Addison and experience AcuDetox for yourself!
