Acupuncture is a branch of Chinese medicine that involves the insertion of very thin, sterile needles into various points on the body called acupuncture points. Each point has particular actions and indications that help to restore health to the body. After a thorough intake is done, the practitioner will choose points and other modalities based on your individual health pattern. Every body is different, and thus, each treatment is
unique to the individual. Other modalities incorporated to the session could include cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, herbal lineaments, and/or bodywork. Acupuncture is a holistic medical system, and therefore treats many ailments, including but not limited to: pain, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, infertility, painful periods and other gynecological disorders, neuropathy, addiction, asthma, colds and flu, and sleep issues.

Shiatsu (or Zen Shiatsu), created by Shizuto Masunaga, is a Japanese-style massage that works on select meridians throughout the body. Instead of a localized, deep-tissue massage, Shiatsu is a full body massage that uses gentle pressure to activate meridians and bring the body into a state of balance and thus, optimal functioning. Zen Shiatsu is not only a form of bodywork, but a type of meditation on the practitioner’s end. The course of treatment is determined by listening to the body’s responses and acting according to what it needs in each, individual moment. Quantum ShiatsuTM was developed by Pauline Sasaki, a student of Masunaga’s. It builds off Zen Shiatsu by consciously working with higher, more subtle vibratory fields. Off-body and on-body techniques are employed, allowing the awareness of cosmic consciousness to unfold into your human experience. My style is a blend of both Zen and Quantum techniques as taught to me by Susan Hare and Dr. Patrizia Stefanini, both of Pauline’s students. Patients
often describe shiatsu treatments as a “whole body reset”.

*Clothing is required for this type of bodywork. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing
and clean socks.

Fire Cupping and Gua Sha are techniques that address stagnation and fascial adhesions in the body, and can also be used for respiratory issues, such as colds, cough, or asthma. Fire cupping therapy involves heating glass cups via a flame, which creates negative pressure inside the cups, and placing them on the body. The negative pressure creates a vacuum, drawing the skin into the cup. The suction reaches deep in the tissues, breaking up stagnation and pulling toxins and metabolic waste up to the surface. Gua sha uses a flat tool to glide along the muscle fibers to release stagnation. “Gua” refers to the scraping or gliding motion, and “sha” refers to the visible markings brought up to the surface of the body. Both of these techniques result in red or purple markings, indicating areas of stagnation and poor circulation. The marks are not painful and fade within 3-7 days after treatment. Areas that take longer to fade indicate more severe stagnation. Treatments may include one or both techniques and is offered in both 30 and 60 minute
sessions. The 60 minute session includes bodywork for those needing extra love.
