Tui-na Massage
Initial Tui-na sessions will also include TCM consultation and diagnosis, so in the initial session there will be shorter time on the table. TCM diagnosis will be especially important if you are coming in to have a specific problem attended to rather than a general relaxation or deep tissue massage.
Combining of Acupuncture and Tui-na is an effective method of healing that I enjoy and employ often especially for musculoskeletal issues. The difference between a Tui-na session and acupuncture session is a full massage with a few needles, or an acupuncture session with local massage; we can talk about what will best serve you.
Taijiquan and Qigong
In teaching Taijiquan and Qi-Gong we always begin with teaching "natural standing"; an essential component of learning how to move your body as a whole from your centre, as well as learning how to move while maintaining the stillness of a meditative mind.
Qi gong is a huge and variable field of practice- If you are interested in these exercises (often called Chinese Yoga) I can teach you a health system called Shi-Ba-Shi to use at home. It is a standing meditation where you move the body with the breath.
Dry Needling
I have been practising acupuncture since 2009, but am now embarking on full time study in nursing. I am no longer registering as an acupuncturist due to the full time nature of my study and am now available Monday afternoons and Thursdays. This also means I'm no longer available to treat ACC claims. I can still offer dry needling as a adjunct to tui na massage for musculo-skeletal issues.
