SHIATSU + REFLEXOLOGY BODYWORK
Shiatsu is a form of bodywork that involves gentle, rhythmic pressure along shiatsu meridians. Shiatsu begins with abdominal palpation and diagnosis, and then may include all areas of your body, including legs, chest, arms, neck, head, back, feet, abdomen, and off-body. Shiatsu is a deeply intuitive practice and may leave you feeling extremely relaxed. It is often paired with your acupuncture pattern diagnosis to achieve optimal wellness.Reflexology foot massageDid you know that every major organ system in your body is represented on your feet? Well-balanced and aligned structural and functional movement begins with the foundation of your feet.
Reflexology involves using firm pressure on special areas of your feet to relieve stress, release myofascial tissue, and restore optimal functioning of all body systems. You will likely feel the beneficial effects throughout your entire body after reflexology. Treat your feet to reflexology and allow yourself the freedom of feeling lighter and more at ease!
Nutrition
Eat well to live well. Healthful food can play a huge role in preventing or resolving disease and help to amplify all that is beneficial and well within your body. It has helped me to heal my gut and as a result, my entire system. I partner with you to provide at-home cooking sessions and support as you make lifestyle and nutritional modifications. I encourage growing and buying fresh vegetables, cooking your own meals with others, and supporting regenerative agriculture to maintain healthful, nutrient-rich soil! The book Healing with Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford has been a great resource to me along my journey. I believe it is one of the best Chinese Medicine nutrition books available.
