Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on the premise that a vital energy flows through all of us, not only making us alive but also driving the functions of our body and mind.
Acupuncture and acupressure stimulate the orderly movement of this internal energy, promoting a state of physical and psychological balance which enhances our inherent ability to heal ourselves.
Chinese medicinal herb formulas can be used to augment and extend these healing processes.
It is my objective for you to experience these powerful treatments in a calm, clean and safe environment.

Acupressure and acupuncture are two of the many therapeutic methods utilized in the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
At a very basic level, these two methods stimulate movement of the bio-electrical energy in our bodies.
This is accomplished by pressure on or puncture of the "acupoints" of the body.
These points exhibit specific differences as compared to the surrounding skin, including lower electrical resistance and greater electrical conductivity (as illustrated below).

The most immediate benefit from receiving an acupressure/acupuncture treatment is the easing of physical and mental tensions.
Stimulation of acupuncture points induces the muscles to relax and the mind to calm.
Once this process of relaxation is initiated, energy and blood flow more freely through the body, helping to reduce tightness, swelling and pain.
One of the most significant features of receiving an acupressure/acupuncture treatment is the involvement of the client's consciousness in the therapeutic process.

My initial experience with Asian healing modalities began in 1972 when I enrolled in a course on acupressure massage.
I soon discovered that practicing acupressure made me feel great, both energized and grounded.
This surprised me since I was the one doing the work!
The recipients of my bodywork often gave me enthusiastic feedback, which mirrored the profound connection that I was experiencing with them.
My hands became conduits for untold information about the people I was touching.
I became aware of new ways of knowing about my clients, and not just their bodies, but also their emotional states.
