Treatments
Acupuncture
It is one of the key components of traditional Chinese medicine and is among the oldest healing practices in the world. By stimulating specific acupuncture points, it corrects imbalances in the flow of qi through channels known as meridians.
Energy Work
By working with energy fields, practitioners believe that they can promote harmony and balance for their clients, addressing specific medical conditions in addition to easing emotional distress.
Shiatsu
Is a practice of stimulating acupressure points on the body to help people relax and cope with issues such as stress, muscle pain, nausea, anxiety, and depression.
Tui Na
The practitioner may brush, knead, roll/press, and rub the areas between each of the joints as well as areas on the back. Tuina promotes energy to flow to the meridians and muscles which assists in the healing process.
