How do I prepare for my appointment?

Prepare for your session by eating and drinking normally and by wearing clothes that allow you to expose your abdomen. During your treatment, you will remain fully clothed.

What is a typical session like?

1. We will begin with a dialogue to discuss your health history and any current health (physical, mental, spiritual, emotional) issues you would like to address.

2. During the session, I will guide you to breathe mindfully into areas that have chi (energy/blood flow) blockages. By doing this, you may experience a deep sense of relaxation and re-connection with yourself on a physical and emotional level. Some may experience powerful emotional releases and some may even fall asleep, all of this is part of the therapeutic experience. Your body will release what it needs to in the best way it sees fit, and through your focus on the breath alone, you will support it.

3. After the treatment, I will offer simple self-care exercises that you can do at home to support and maintain your well-being. Our emotional digestion happens when we sleep at night. It is suggested that you get plenty of sleep after your session (at least 8-10 hours).

Do you clean the space after each appointment?

The treatment table is cleaned after each visit with hospital-grade sanitizer and I wash or sanitize my hands between each visit. Energetically the space is cleared through the sound vibration of a Nepali Singing Bowl and by speaking the intention of the space for healing and light for the next client.

I cannot afford the sliding scale amount, do you offer financial assistance?

What is Taoism?

Taoism is a Chinese philosophy for how to live in harmony with the universe we inhabit, including our own bodies. Its 3 pillars are rooted in simplicity, patience, and compassion. This system, which is the basis for Chi Nei Tsang, Acupuncture, and Chinese Medicine, is not in conflict with any religion. In fact, it can work with them as long as it serves the same goal to support the person in their journey toward vitality, enjoyment of life, and wholeness. In this way, it can enhance religious and spiritual beliefs and practices.
