Zenthai Shiatsu
Zenthai is a contemporary fusion of Thai Massage, Zen Shiatsu, and Osteopathic techniques, gathered together through the philosophies of Five Element Theory/TCM and Yoga. This style of bodywork is practiced on a soft floor mat, fully clothed. Zenthai is a dance of deep pressure, dynamic stretching, fascial unwinding and energetic attunement cradled within the safety of loving kindness and non-judgement. The musculoskeletal, digestive and nervous systems are specifically targeted. Clients can expect to leave feeling refreshed, revitalized, and grounded.

Acupuncture
An ancient practice that originally emerged from the traditional indigenous healers of China, Acupuncture has gained a scientifically effective reputation for treating a wide range of health concerns. A branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the therapy is done with tiny needles (0.18-0.25 mm thick) that are inserted into specific points along channel or “meridian” systems that relate to our internal organ function and nervous system regulation. The treatment is not painful, and in fact can often be quite relaxing. In a treatment we may also use moxibustion (the burning of a herb close to the skin which radiates infrared heat to the area), cupping (suctioning of the skin, muscles, and fascia – kind of like a reverse massage), gua sha (gentle scraping of the skin with a Jade tool), and Tui Na (Chinese Massage).
A Mix of All the Magic
This option brings spaciousness and possibility to our session; unconfined to specific modalities yet drawing from whichever aspects are relevant. You can expect deeply intuitive bodywork/massage as the basis of this treatment - within a full range of deep structural therapy to lighter energy work - and possible additions of cupping, moxibustion, or medicine songs.
