Acupuncture
.Selected points on the extremities, body, face, scalp and ear have a synergistic effect in the body's physiology. An Acupuncture (or acupressure) treatment can regulate physiological functions as well as induce calm, clearness, and ease.
An acupoint prescription is derived from a multi-diagnostic approach that includes questions, observation, palpation, looking at the tongue and taking six wrist pulses. (detailed on the Teen page)
Acupuncture treats physical, mental-emotional and spiritual conditions.
I treat adults and teens.
Please ask about needle-free acupuncture for youth.

Cupping
Glass fire cupping and silicone cup cupping can benefit many conditions, whether systemic or due to injury. Depending on the reason for cupping, they may be repeatedly popped on and off, left stationary, or applied with a gliding movement (for this I use Organic Apricot Kernel Oil or Jojoba Oil. If you are sensitive to either, please ask if your own is suitable for the treatment.) Depending on the method used, dark marks may linger for a few days following the treatment. Please keep the area protected from wind and cold water. Popular conditions for cupping: respiratory, allergies, body pain (including menstrual cramps), muscle tension/stiffness, insomnia and long-standing emotional trauma.
Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure®
Jin Shin Do® ~ "The Way of the Compassionate Spirit"
Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® is a gentle yet deep release technique and can invoke relaxation,
comfort and stillness allowing for insight to arise and physiological shifts to occur.
It is a safe and powerful way to explore body tensions, emotional experiences, and life transitions.
Jin Shin Do® Acupressure uses gentle yet deep finger pressure on specific acupoints, verbal Body Focusing techniques and QiGong breathing to help release "armouring" or chronic tension, balance the "Qi" or energy, and improve vitality. A typical session takes place with the client fully clothed, lying on their back on treatment table. Jin Shin Do® helps relieve stress- and trauma-related problems. Jin Shin Do® acupressure was originated by Iona MarsaaTeeguarden.
Jin Shin Do® Disclaimer:
Jin Shin Do® BodyMind Acupressure ® is not intended for the diagnosis, treatment or cure of disease. It is a relaxation therapy, and a useful adjunct to licensed, qualified medical or psychological care. For any persistent pain or symptom, even a seemingly minor one, the reader is strongly encouraged to consult a medical doctor.

Medical QiGong
A Medical QiGong treatment can be received in person or by distance. This energetic treatment works deeply with organs and systems, clears stagnation and calibrates greater energetic balance and flow. I may ask questions, use sound, and for in-person treatments there may be light contact. Medical QiGong is also a movement practice. Combined with intention, visualization and breath, MQG releases static energy, nourishes and tonifies organs and energetic centers in the body and field, and regulates flow.
Both practicing and receiving a treatment of Medical QiGong are
powerful ways to support the physical, emotional and subtle energetic bodies.

Meridian Tapping
Slightly different from Acupuncture and Acupressure, tapping particular points on the meridian system is an efficient method of working with the neuro-framework of our perceptions, experiences, anticipations and emotions.
This technique is effective for preparing for performance, interviews, dental or medical procedures, or other activities that you may feel nervous or anxious about; it can help with re-framing habits and compulsions, as well as confident speaking.
It is also effective and creating harmony in the brain and meridian systems following traumatic events and experiences, including accidents, injuries, and terminated relationships.
It has been useful for youth and learning (reading, math), self-expression, social anxiety, connection and pre-sleep anxiety.
This technique involves tapping various acupuncture points
paired with neuro-psychological re-processing. Comfortable clothes is the only requisite!
