Acupuncture

During a treatment, the practitioner will ask questions regarding the patient’s history and other relevant factors.  The practitioner then may perform a physical exam.  This information is then processed and the appropriate TCM diagnosis is made.  The acupuncture treatment is then formulated based on this TCM diagnosis.  Acupuncture is then applied by inserting needles into the body at specific points called acupuncture points.  There is little to no pain involved in this process.  The needles are retained on average for 15 to 20 minutes. The initial visit is about an hour and a half and includes an indepth intake and a treatment.  Follow up appointments are then scheduled for continued treatment and are one hour in length.

Reiki

imageReiki is a Japanese form of energy work that cleanses and balances the energy system in the body. As a result, the body's natural self-healing mechanisms strengthen, helping to establish optimum health. During a session, I work directly with your energy field to remove blockages, detoxify your system, and restore your vital life force energy. Reiki utilizes a gentle laying on of hands to conduct the necessary energy force between us. The benefits of Reiki range from the release of habitual mental/emotional stress to alleviating chronic pain. This service I will integrate with other modalities during a session. I also teach Reiki as well.

 

 


Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a Japanese form of massage therapy. The word Shiatsu comes from two Japanese words - "shi" (finger) and "atsu" (pressure). In addition to the direct stimulation of pressure points along the energy pathways of your body, gentle stretching techniques are applied over a wider area of the body to integrate the point work and encourage the flow of Chi (energy) throughout the body. Shiatsu is a meditative healing art that honors the body, mind and spirit.


Acupressure

imageAcupressure is based on one the most ancient principles of healing - that simply touching a specific point on the body will release stress and improve health in the body. In an acupressure session, I apply firm pressure directly to these "points" on your body, which relieves your muscle tension and improves your circulation. This simple and powerful technique has been shown to very effective in treating headaches, backaches, and even insomnia.
