Treatment Modalities

Acupuncture, Acupressure, Massage and Zero Balancing® are natural, energy-based healing modalities that are rooted in traditions that have been used all over the world for hundreds of years to help people maintain their health under stressful conditions.

Massage — Informed, sensitive touch supports our natural healing processes and promotes feelings of well-being and contentment. The art and science of touch has been used as a healing tool for thousands of years in many cultures. Massage supports your body/mind to exist with more ease, less pain and a greater sense of well-being.

Acupuncture — Acupuncture helps to restore and balance energy by tending to particular points on the body with hair-thin sterile, disposable needles and a warming herb called moxa. When our energy is abundant and flowing smoothly our possibilities for healing are maximized – we sleep well, awaken restored and move through our day without chronic pain or discomfort; we enjoy richer, more harmonious relationships.

Auricular (ear) Acupuncture — Respecting a person’s internal process, Auricular Acupuncture heals at a level below symptoms. It helps people sleep and think more clearly; increases their energy and enhances their ability to focus. Highly effective at reducing fear, it helps people find quiet and comfort within themselves. By enabling recipients to tap into their own reserves for balance and rejuvenation, it initiates a reparative process that does not necessitate prolonged treatment to be highly effective. Done in a group setting, one practitioner can treat as many as a dozen people in one session.

Zero Balancing® — By tending the energy that flows through our bones, muscles and soft tissue, Zero Balancing® offers increased vitality, greater peace of mind, and a reduction in pain. Performed fully clothed, gentle finger pressure evaluates and balances tension held in bones and joints, relieves congestion and allows clients to function with more ease in their body, their mind and their spirit.

Seva/Stress Release Acupressure — Acupressure is the practice of applying hand or finger pressure to specific energetic or conductive points on the body. Acupressure regulates and balances the body’s energy system, releases blocked energy, stale blood and lymph from the tissues and improves circulation. Pain, tension and toxicities in the body are relieved before they manifest as illness. Thus it is an excellent preventive modality. Many common physical symptoms can be addressed with acupressure, including back problems, headaches, respiratory, digestive and systemic problems as well as colds, flu, allergies and healing from injuries. Emotional and spiritual issues are also addressed with this work, as the individual comes into harmony and balance. Acupressure is not used for severe medical or psychological problems and does not supplant medical care.

Somatic Experiencing® — SE is a short-term naturalistic approach to the resolution and healing of trauma. Developed by Dr. Peter Levine, it is based upon the observation that wild prey animals, though threatened routinely, are rarely traumatized. Animals in the wild utilize innate mechanisms to regulate and discharge the high levels of energy arousal associated with defensive survival behaviors. These mechanisms provide animals with a built-in "immunity" to trauma that enables them to return to normal in the aftermath of highly "charged" life-threatening experiences.
