Five
Element Acupressure
When our vital energy (Chi) is not flowing it is due to blockages or stagnation affecting the physical body, emotional body and spiritual body. Energy Medicine is a natural healing therapy where health and vitality is achieved by stimulating acupressure points along the meridian pathways creating a free flow of Chi. When the body's Chi is flowing, it then has the vital energy to heal itself. I practice Energy Medicine by combining my knowledge and skills in Five Element Acupressure and Holistic Health to effectively support your natural healing process. Both of these therapies hold the philosophy that health is not just the absence of symptoms or dis-ease, it is the presence of lifelong vitality. The Five Elements are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Each of these elements corresponds to the seasons creating patterns of balance within nature. Everything in nature and the universe is subject to change and movement including your spirit-body. I will work with you to understand which elements are strongest in your personal constitution and support you to create balance where there are imbalances to provide you with health and harmony according to your needs and goals. Your initial 2 hour Energy Medicine session includes:

Deep Tissue & Neuromuscular
Massage Neuromuscular massage therapy combines deep tissue and trigger point techniques for releasing chronic patterns of muscular tension, pain and blocked energy in the body from daily stress, repetitive use patterns, injury or internal weakness (i.e. fibromyalgia and nervous system imbalances). Deep tissue uses movements directed across the grain of the muscles (cross-fiber) and targeted techniques to release adhesions in the muscles. Trigger point therapy targets trigger points (know as "knots") by applying pressure to release stored chronic pain, toxins and deeply held patterns of tension. These techniques are combined with some soothing Swedish strokes to create a unified session. Many of my clients are not always aware of the effects that ongoing stress and tension may be having on their muscles, tissues and nervous system. Neuromuscular massage therapy is the most effective system for releasing chronic tension and adhesions by relaxing the nervous system, reducing pain and inflammation. Several treatments may be needed depending on the severity of chronic tension or pain. Once the active trigger points are reduced and swelling and stiffness is relieved there will be a great increase in the range of motion, circulation, flexibility, movement and coordination in the body.

Shiatsu is a form of Energy Medicine. Shiatsu means "finger pressure" in Japanese and is a combination of acupressure and massage therapy techniques that use the thumbs, hands, forearms, knees and feet to apply pressure to acupressure points to release blockages along the body's energy pathways (meridians) to stimulate the flow of Chi (vital energy). Stretches are incorporated and gently applied during the full body treatment. Your Shiatsu session will be on a futon on the floor and you will be wearing loose comfortable clothing.
Soothing Swedish massage therapy loosens up your back muscles and then hot stones are placed along both sides of the spine to impart heat onto the body. The heat from the stones relaxes the muscles and increases circulation to support physical and mental relaxation. The hot stones are also used to massage other parts of the body using skilled techniques and deeper pressure. I incorporate aromatherapy and/or flower essences for my clients who feel they would enjoy receiving these therapies. Enjoy a deeply relaxing and soothing massage.
Hot Stone Massage is a 90 minute session and there is an additional $10 fee for the hot stones.

| Spiritual Shamanic Journeying
Seek inner truth in the stillness of your heart
and Soul. Wellness in many indigenous cultures is not only based on the absence of physical illness. Shamanic healing is the oldest form of energy medicine because it acknowledges how a person's emotional and spiritual well-being impacts their whole being, all the way to the Soul. Spiritual Shamanic Journey Sessions are an opportunity to connect deeply with your inner voice, intuitive wisdom and spiritual guidance to transform states of disharmony and expand the vitality of your Spirit. |  |
| By 1996 I evolved into an initiated, trained and skilled
shamanic healer and now I offer you this powerful pathway to access
and embrace your true self. I support the unfoldment of your journey
session in the same way a midwife supports the process of birth by
compassionately coaching you to explore your true self and retrieve
your personal power. I will hold a safe and sacred space for you to
uncover and explore the sources of negative belief patterns, behaviors
and spiritual contracts and to release them. Shamanic sounding tools,
herbs and essential oils assist you in deepening your healing process.
As you create the space for renewed energy and vitality you are empowered
to embrace and express your gifts as a unique and sacred being in the
world.
