* A note on Chinese Medicine Therapies:

Traditional Chinese medicine is based on the belief that the body is a delicate balance of two complementary yet opposing forces: yin and yang. Health is achieved by maintaining the balance between the two, all encompassed in our energy or Qi. When out of balance, our emotions or feelings get stuck, and this leads to blockage in the flow of blood, the nervous system, and vital life energy (qi) causing the symptoms of disease.

HOLISTIC & ENERGETIC BALANCE THERAPIES


ACUPRESSURE | ACUPUNCTURE*

This Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy involves manipulating your energy channels or pathways, called meridians. They flow in regular patterns throughout and over the surface of the body, nourishing your body’s tissues.

REIKI CHAKRA CLEAN & REBALANCE

The practitioners deliver reiki therapy through their hands with the goal of raising the amount of Qi in and around the recipient.

SOUND HEALING

Also known as Sound Therapy, this meditative therapy “bathes” patients in sound waves produced by various sources, including healing instruments such as gongs, singing bowls, percussion, chimes, tuning forks, and even the human voice itself.
