TREATMENTS I OFFER

 

ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is the insertion of very thin needles into the body to smooth the flow of qi. Qi or chi is the Chinese word that embodies all movement and transformation. In a state of health, qi flows smoothly, and our bodily systems work properly—free of pain and able to work in harmony.

 

ACUPRESSURE

Acupressure uses fingers and hands instead of needles to stimulate points on the body. This method is used when patients have an aversion to needles or when needles are painful. 

​

CHI NEI TSANG

Chi Nei Tsang is a deep massage of the abdomen, that frees any tension in the fascia and brings breath, blood, and oxygen to the internal organs. The massage may include guided imagery, sound, and breathwork. I include tools for home self-care as a part of every treatment.

​

CRANIOSACRAL

Cranio-sacral work is calming, soothing, and relaxing. Using slow, gentle movement, the craniosacral practitioner can facilitate the body's need to let go of deeply held, possibly unconscious, or unknown tension. The energy release in this therapy invites bones in the cranium, spine, and sacrum to shift, allowing for improved flow of cerebrospinal fluid and better communication between the central and peripheral nervous systems.

​​

PEDIATRIC WORK - SHONISHIN  

Shonishin, developed in Japan but used in Chinese medicine, is a massage for children using specialized tools to rhythmically scrape and tap the meridians and points on the body. It can involve insertions of acupuncture needles if the child allows. Like acupuncture, Shonishin increases blood flow, breaks up stagnation, boosts the immune system, calms the spirit, and helps with childhood illnesses including colds, fevers, ear infections, asthma, and conditions like ADD, ADHD, and other dysfunctions.

 

RELATED TREATMENTS

The following therapies may be used in conjunction with other treatments.

​

MOXIBUSTION

Moxibustion uses the herb Artemesia to warm the skin’s surface and penetrate deep into the body, promoting blood flow and dispersing congestion. The taper-shaped herb is lit and moved over acupuncture points or specific areas on the skin.

​

CUPPING
Cupping is a technique that uses glass cups to create suction in areas of discomfort to break up and release congestion. Cupping may mark the skin for several days.

​

GUA SHA

Gua Sha uses a flat-edged tool that is scraped over oiled skin to reduce fever or loosen tense muscles. This treatment may mark the skin for several days.
