Cape Wellness Works Services: Acupuncturist
Acupuncture Care on Cape Cod

Acupuncture is a medical therapy which treats a wide range of health issues. Acupuncture treatments focus on the cause of problem instead of the symptom.

Her goal is to give compassionate, professional, and effective care to every client.

What Patients Say
I am the last person to try acupuncture, but Dafney made a believer out of me!
Dafney is wonderful, very gentle, yet effective. She is great fun to be with and compassionate. She has a great balance of focused professionalism and personal charisma.
I chose to get treatments from Dafney for a chronic health issue…I have been receiving weekly treatments which have exceeded my expectations. Dafney provides a safe and professional healing space. I can’t endorse her highly enough.
I became interested in acupuncture facial rejuvenation because it is a noninvasive treatment that turns back the clock on the aging process. After a series of treatments, my skin has a youthful and healthy appearance. My fines lines are gone and my deeper lines are diminished. My husband, who knows my face better than anyone, says I look much younger.
