Rooted in ancient knowledge & holistic care

 

What is TCM?

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a natural approach to cultivating health and wellness, achieved by the balancing of one’s internal life-force with the environment and the calming of emotional and spiritual states, thereby bringing about the experience of healing.

Choose your modality

In TCM the balancing of various conditions can be achieved through the application of modalities such as Acupuncture, Shiatsu Massage, Gua Sha and Reflexology. Moxibustion, Auricular Acupuncture and Cupping are additional practices that can be added to your treatment plan as needed.

ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is a practice where specific points on the body are stimulated with fine, sterile needles to adjust internal conditions. Patients are assessed individually, and treated according to their unique history and lifestyle. A wide range of ailments may be addressed through this method, as it stimulated the body’s innate healing powers. This holistic approach aims to treat the root cause of imbalances rather than just the symptoms.

FACIAL GUA SHA

Gua Sha is an Ancient Chinese healing technique that involves scraping the oil lubricated skin with a tool, to promote circulation, reduce inflammation and stimulate healing. It can be applied as a facial rejuvenation treatment, which lifts, sculpts and plumps the skin. It improves the skin’s condition, encouraging collagen production, lymphatic drainage and radiance. Lines and wrinkles are softened and facial contours are lifted.

REFLEXOLOGY

Chinese Reflexology is an ancient healing practice in which reflex zones on the hands and feet are stimulated through firm pressure, to initiate a healing response and balance the organ systems. The hands and feet in this tradition represent the North and South Poles of the body, which should be brought into balance, to ensure a healthy flow of life-force through the individual. Not only is it deeply relaxing but it also boosts the immune system, helps relieve pain and improves the circulation.

“I love my sessions with Cathy. We started with just Shiatsu which always left me feeling fully relaxed and in the flow again. When we added Gua Sha to the treatment not only did my body feel completely whole again but my face was also shining and relaxed, taking years off my face, leaving me with an overall feeling of bliss.”
