Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an East Asian medicine based on the natural laws which govern the movement of energy in nature and in the human body. This natural life force, called Qi (pronounced chee), flows through the body in channels called the meridian system. When the flow of Qi is plentiful and flowing naturally, we tend to feel our best. When the flow of Qi is interrupted or blocked, this can cause physical symptoms like pain, as well as mental and emotional symptoms such as worry, sadness, or excessive anger and irritability. By addressing the blockages with various techniques, the flow of Qi is restored which returns the body to balance.
Why Choose Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of medicine, and there is a reason it has been utilized for centuries! Acupuncture is often used to: speed recovery after surgery, alleviate the side effects of medication, and provide relief from the side effects of chronic illness. Acupuncture has been found effective for a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, including but not limited to: headaches, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, insomnia, allergies, back pain, digestive disorders, joint pain, sleeping problems, infertility, and menstrual disorders. Acupuncture treats the whole person, not just certain parts of the body or certain sets of symptoms. Those who receive treatment on a regular basis report that they tend to get sick less often, recover more quickly from illness or injury, have improved energy levels, see reductions in long-term health care costs, and receive a greater sense of ease in their lives.
What to Expect
Acupuncture is performed by the insertion of special sterilized needles into specific points or areas of the body. Some may feel a needle sensation- be it a small pinch, movement, or dull ache, all of which will subside almost instantly. Some may feel nothing at all (and look up to see if the needle is even there!) Many patients report deep relaxation and even fall asleep! At times, other East Asian medical techniques may be used including Cupping: a technique using glass or plastic cups on the surface of the skin with a heat created or suction created vacuum; Gua Sha: rubbing on an area of the body with a blunt, round instrument; Moxibustion: warming or indirect burning of mugwort on or near an acupuncture point; and Tui Na: Chinese medical massage. All of these modalities benefit the body, mind and spirit.
Reiki
Reiki Therapy is holistic and gentle, assisting physical, mental and emotional healing. It enhances and facilitates the bodies natural ability to self-heal, going straight to the root of the symptom to heal from the inside out. Reiki replenishes, restores and balances the body, mind and spirit, revitalizes energy levels, harmonizes body systems, and can be used safely in conjunction with medical treatment.
What is Reiki?
Simply put, Reiki is spiritually guided life energy. The word Reiki (pronounced rey-key) is made up of two Japanese words; Rei- meaning universal and Ki- meaning life force. Though this healing modality is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. There is also zero risk in Reiki healing. It can never do harm and will adjust itself to create an effect that is appropriate to each patient.
What to Expect
During a reiki healing, the patient lies comfortably on the table as the practitioner surveys the flow of energy throughout the body. The treatment begins as hands are placed on specific areas of the body to facilitate the healing process.Reiki may also be administered without direct touch. During the treatment, it is common to feel sensations such as relaxation, warmth, coolness, and tingling.
Distance Reiki
Distance Reiki sessions are offered for those who are unable to schedule an in-person session, making them accessible for clients all over the globe. You will receive the benefits of an in person session from the comfort of your own space. Distance Reiki is done the same as if you were laying on my treatment table. Each session includes an assessment of energy flow, channeled reiki healing, along with an email recap of your session. This email includes your initial energy assessment prior to treatment, the results of the treatment (i.e.: balanced energies), any supportive intuitive messages, and recommendations for you to support the integration of the treatment.
Spiritual Guidance Sessions
Spiritual guidance sessions take many forms. I utilize my skills as an oracle reader, as an intuitive, and as a medium, in conjunction with my knowledge of East Asian medical theory to assist you. During these sessions I work with my client in conversation with our guides and higher powers to gain insight on the subject at hand in order to aid your way forward with clarity and confidence. When empowered, our Qi moves freely. Speaking from the soul naturally creates movement.
Why Choose a Spiritual Guidance Session?
Living life comes with its challenges. Sometimes we don’t know how to move forward, sometimes we need encouragement, sometimes comfort. My spiritual guidance sessions help clients gain insight- “Should I take this new job?” “How do I move forward from this loss?” “I feel stuck and I don’t know how to get out of it”… Sometimes we need a supportive and loving hand in navigating our life path and it is my pleasure to offer this hand from my heart to yours.
What to Expect
When a session is booked we will have a consult, whether by email, phone, or in person, so you can share with me what it is you wish to have support with. I assess which of my skills (or multiple skills) are appropriate for our session together and dive in with you. Email sessions include an audio recording of our session along with photos of any oracle cards that support the audio reading. Phone sessions will also receive an email of the cards so you are able to follow along as we chat. All guidance is delivered with compassion and clarity for you to reflect upon and integrate to support you.
Insight Acupressure
Insight Acupressure, developed by Dr. Aminah Raheem, is a technique of using theraputic touch, along with verbal coaching, to access the souls innate wisdom in order to heal physical symptoms, and facilitate our understanding of mental and emotional blockages. As we are able to address these blockages, clients are able to freely express their souls true nature and tap into divine intuition more easily
Why Choose Insight Acupressure?
Each of us is born into this lifetime with a divine spark, an innate knowing of who we are at our core. This is the intuition of our soul in its purest form. As we grow, life happens all around us and within us. We learn family constructs, societal dynamics, we experience trauma, illness, and pain. These experiences, accumulating over time, are stored in deep pathways which influence the way our soul expresses itself. An Insight Acupressure session creates a healing environment in which to explore the constructs that may not innately belong to us, so that they may be released, allowing our souls truest expression to come forward.
What to Expect
In an insight acupressure session, my client and I sit and chat about their concerns in order to discover what part of their souls wisdom is ready to be uncovered. I will choose the appropriate protocol and hold a specific combination of points, all while staying in conversation together, to free up the clients innate knowing regarding the subject at hand. Getting underneath what has accumulated allows the soul more freedom to express which can change entire outlooks, relieve pain, and facilitate empowerment.
Pet Healing and Communication
For those of us with furry companions, we come to know them so well. Certain sounds they make mean specific things- a chirp, a bark, a meow, even a grunt. We also know when something feels off with our fur family members. But we don’t always know how to find out what it is (if only they spoke our language!) Pet Healing and Communication sessions help our pets to feel more comfortable and also help communicate their needs to their human.
Why Choose Pet Healing and Communication?
Sometimes we know our pet is “off” but it isn’t an emergency that demands a vet visit. Sometimes we are integrating new animals into the home and want to know how to best support them all. Sometimes there are pet behaviors that are just not the greatest for their human. Pet healing and communication sessions help our pets feel more comfortable and help them feel heard. Owners are able to have more information to support their fur babies, too.
What to Expect
Pet healing and communication are treated the same as a distance reiki session for a human. These sessions are done remotely so your pet can rest comfortably at home. All I need from you is an image of your pet, their name, and any questions/observations of what they need to be addressed. Once the session is complete, you will receive an audio recording of the session emailed to you with my assessment along with any communication directly from your pet.
AcuDetox- The NADA Protocol
The NADA Protocol, or auricular acudetox treatment, is a very simple and powerful treatment that I enjoy offering as a stand alone treatment or in addition to customized acupuncture sessions. This protocol is designed to detoxify the body, calm the mind and spirit, boost immunity, and promote overall wellness.
Why Choose AcuDetox?
Each needle point utilized has their own special set of benefits. When combined, the points in the NADA protocol create a powerful treatment for trauma as this combination supports the parasympathetic nervous system reset (turning on our “rest and digest”). Due to this function, the NADA protocol is also an effective treatment for healing addiction by reducing the urge for substance use while also getting to the root of the behavior for emotional healing.
What to Expect
Acu-detox involves five small, sterilized disposable needles inserted into specific areas on the side of each ear. Once the needles are inserted, the patient will rest quietly for about 30-45 minutes. During this treatment, it is common to experience a meditative state. Feelings of relaxation, stress reduction, mental clarity, emotional catharsis, increased sense of purpose and well-being, better sleep, and increased energy are some of the benefits you will receive. The repetition of this treatment is encouraged because, with acupuncture, treatments become more effective over time.
