Self Care ~ Lessons to Support Your Health 

In truth, you do your own healing.  Shiatsu, herbs or any practitioner simply help remind the body how to do what it already knows. The more active you are in caring for yourself, the more empowered you’ll be. Furthermore, traditional healing systems such as  Chinese medicine, as well as contemporary mind / body science, place the influence of attitude, beliefs and self awareness as central to our well-being. Self care sessions are focused on a particular practice you'd like to incorporate at home or during scheduled appointments. Lessons are designed specifically for you, but might include:

• Self acupressure and meridian stretches 
• Home moxibustion 
• Basic Qi exercises
• Making your own herbal products such a tinctures, salves, liniments, tonic, teas blends or herbal baths 
• Guidance on choosing and using herbs for yourself
• Dietary adjustments based on traditional foods practices
• Gentle spring fasting practices
• Natural approaches to stronger immunity against colds and flu
• Basic meditation and mindfulness practices
• Visualizations and spiritual /energetic practices such as spiritual bathing, grounding exercises, clearing practices
