Oriental Medical Analysis and Balancing (Follow up)

90 Minutes - $129

Follow up sessions may be part of a recommended treatment series that works through layers of the system in complex cases. They may also be part of preventative “tune up” maintenance as Oriental Medical modalities can be especially helpful in preventative care. Follow up sessions can also be booked as issues come up in life even if long after an initial “First Visit”.

Somatic Emotional Release

2 Hours - $199

Many people are familiar with popular books like “The Body Keeps the Score” by Bessel van der Kolk and have learned how our mental emotional energy can be held in the tissues of our body. This is an ancient and fundamental idea in Oriental Medicine where teachers like Jeffrey Yuen discuss how pent up mental emotional information can be held in somatic latency, especially in traumatic situations where there is too much for the person to initially process. According to Oriental Medical philosophy, this is the source of 70% of disease that arises from the inside of our system. Releasing this energy not only relieves emotional weight off our shoulders, it can also significantly impact numerous symptoms and concerns in often apparently unrelated health conditions. We all know stress isn’t good for us, however the plot is endlessly more complex and dynamic than this. In these sessions, we will discuss primary concerns and then utilize Oriental, Bodywork and Energetic techniques to assist in releasing pent up mental emotional energy from the system.

Full Body Relaxation Massage

90 Minutes - $179

Between the stresses of life, world events and a fast paced modern society, many of us are very familiar with the Sympathetic Nervous System’s “Fight or Flight” response to life. Numerous massage modalities have been found to help with significant relaxation and down regulation of the nervous system while bringing us back into our “Rest and Digest” Parasympathetic Nervous System. The health benefits of simple relaxation are very well researched and documented.

In these sessions, we will use a variety of massage techniques including Swedish Massage, Myofascial Release, Deep Tissue and or Craniosacral Techniques as appropriate and desired by each client in order to release tight muscles and maximize relaxation.

Chinese Astrology Birth Chart Reading

2 Hours - $199

In these sessions, we will look at your Chinese astrological birth Chart.  While Western Astrology often leans toward personal psychology, Chinese Astrology looks at inherent elemental tendencies in more broad patterns of being.  These patterns can be predictive of the potential of health and wellness imbalances as well as the momentum of your life path, psychological and spiritual tendencies.  The birth chart can provide insights on internal tensions and synergy between our psychological traits. It can also look at shorter and longer term chapters of life and provide insight into when is best in life to focus on major aspects of our life path like starting a new business or career.
