Receiving a Treatment

There are a variety of reasons to receive a treatment in any of the techniques mentioned below, for example:

    - simply for relaxation, stress-reduction and balancing of body and mind;
    - for general prevention of imbalance, dis-harmony and dis-ease;
    - to address a specific problem on a physical, emotional and/or mental level;
    - before a course, in order to have a personal and practical experience of the technique, feeling what it is about and getting an idea of what you will learn. I strongly believe in the power of personal experience. If we have not met before,  then it is also a chance to meet, connect, and talk about the course.

If you are not sure which treatment method would be suitable for you, please contact me and we can discuss it together.

Reiki

Reiki is a gentle channeling method for healing, transformation and harmonization of the chakras, the aura and the physical body. It is a powerful yet subtle method that brings about a release of blockages on all levels – physical, mental and emotional.  It works with the inherent wisdom of a person's 'Higher Self' (called also the subconscious). The technique can be either hands-on or hands-off, and is given while a person is fully clothed, with no need to remove any clothing.  

Zen Shiatsu

A gentle Japanese bodywork technique based on the ancient knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine and incorporating a holistic view of the body. Treatments harmonize body and mind through soft, intuitive bodywork that penetrates into the deep energy levels.

Diagnosis is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, Hara Diagnosis (abdominal reflexology palpation) and a sense of instinct and intuition. The bodywork includes specific work on the energy system of organs and meridians (energy lines) and the various physical structures (muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments, bones, etc.) through measured application of pressure, stretching, rocking and holding techniques. Treatments are done on the clothed body. There is no need for removal of clothing.

Rocking

A gentle yet powerful technique of rocking the body at a pace resembling that which we experience in our fetal stage in the womb. The constant rhythmic rocking and swaying of the body brings about the gradual release of tension and opening of blockages. This technique is unique in that it connects us to our inner core, centering body and mind, thus creating a state of clarity, ease and well-being. Treatments are done on the clothed body. There is no need for removal of clothing.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture)

Classic Chinese acupuncture is based on the ancient knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine, incorporating a holistic view of the body and attending to its physical, mental and emotional aspects. It is aimed at assisting and guiding the body towards a state of balance and harmony by working on the network of meridians (energy lines), organs and also the different physical structures (muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments, bones, etc.).

Diagnosis is done according to the foundation principles of Yin-Yang and Wu Xing (Five Elements), using the four diagnostic techniques of observation, feeling, palpation, asking and listening, including pulse and tongue diagnosis. The work includes needling (special thin needles), moxibustion (a warming technique using a special herb), guasha (a form of scraping of the skin using oil) and cupping. Treatments may demand removal of certain articles of clothing.

Wu Xing Session

This is a personal session to investigate, diagnose and map your individual Wu Xing dynamics, for general knowledge or for specific problems. The study of Wu Xing, or the Five Elements is the study of relationships in nature and observation of the five nature elements - Earth, Fire, Water, Wood and Metal – and applying this to the dynamics of the human body and mind.

Through a personal interview we will attempt to map these dynamics, see the play between the elements and how they create and affect your present life circumstances. Understanding these dynamics in your chart will show your talents, your strengths and weaknesses, and also point at the sources of dis-harmony or potential imbalances on the physical, mental and emotional levels. We can also see what steps and practices would be beneficial to maintain a general level of well-being, resolve existing problems and support your personal process of evolution.

Integrated Healing Sessions

This is a session that combines and integrates the various methods mentioned above. It addresses your personal needs, feelings and inclinations as well as following a sense of intuition and guidance, to create a holistic treatment for body, mind, and soul. The main idea is to work on disharmonies and blockages on the different levels of physical, mental and emotional bodies, the chakras, the aura, the meridians, etc.

If don't know which treatment method is best for you or just want to receive a treatment without choosing a specific technique, allowing me to follow what feels right in the moment, then this is a good option for you.
