Karl Notargiovanni, Ac.
Karl Notargiovanni is deeply grateful for the ways acupuncture, Eastern medicine, and yoga have enriched his life. His path into holistic approaches began with studies in Swedish and Eastern massage, followed by a B.A. in dance and visual arts.

His treatments are a personalized blend of Meridian balance, Neuro-Meridian acupuncture, massage techniques, cupping, and Gua Sha. Karl works with each individual to support their body’s innate healing process—releasing tension, restoring balance, and encouraging overall well-being.
