In these sessions, you will have my full attention and we can dive deep to address your chief concerns with as many of the tools as makes sense. From my perspective, this is what gets the best results. The ultimate goal is to promote the flow of qi and blood in the body. When the Qi and blood are flowing properly in the channels, the organs get nourished, the body is able to process and metabolize optimally and there is no pain. Different modalities address different aspects of the thing.
The use of sterile, disposible, one-time use needles placed in the specific points to activate and regulate the signal communication in the body. This is very effective for relaxing muscles and tissues. This opening up effect can feel, oceanic and strangely trance like.
While the needles are doing their work, application of reflexology massage can provide critical healing information for the body. Furthermore, reflexology is a great form of self care you can work with every day.
After the needles have sat and the channels have opened and begun to flow and the muscles have relaxed and the fascia has softened up, a nice round of dynamic cupping methods can really invogorate the circulation
Chinese Medicine has a whole arsenal of manual therapies and orthopedic methods. In general we refer to this element of the medicine as “Tui Na” These methods are a great primer and a great finish to a session. Additionally I have percussion massage tools that can dramatically amplify the fascia release.

With this tool, we can target very specific zones of the tendons and muscles and joints and points, harnessing their various functions. Additionally, this is an opportunity to deliver topicals to tissues. I have various gels I make that incorporate herbs and oils for maximal therapeutic benefit.
In addition to applying microcurrent to the needles directly, another tool I use, utilizes wet cotton qi tips on wands to provide current to the acupuncture points.
While all of these modalities have their utility, individuals have their preferences. What serves one patient well, can be noxious for another. I see this work as a kind of a journey we are taking together. I have a deep respect for that inner knowledge your body has. I have learned to listen. Pain can cause the body to really tighten up and restrict.
