Shiatsu & Tui Na

                                       


Shiatsu is a Japanese form of massage therapy. The word
Shiatsu comes from two Japanese words — "shi" (finger) 
and "atsu" (pressure). In addition to the direct stimulation 
of pressure points along the energy pathways of your body,
gentle stretching techniques are applied over a wider area 
of the body to integrate the point work and encourage the 
flow of Chi (energy) throughout the body. Shiatsu is a 
meditative healing art that honors the body, mind and 
spirit.
 
Tui Na is an ancient form of bodywork that is based on the 
principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I use a variety 
of pressures and strokes along the meridians (energy 
pathways) of your body to both relax your muscles and 
also stimulate the flow of energy throughout your body. 
By treating both the physical (musculature) and energetic 
(Qi) levels of your body at the same time, I can achieve 
results far beyond what you’d receive from a conventional
massage therapy session.
