  • Common Types of Energy Healing

    Chakras are seven energy centers along the spine, each tied to specific emotions, organs, and psychological themes. Chakra balancing restores alignment and vitality to the body’s seven main energy centers, promoting emotional and physical well-being.

    Color Therapy Incorporates healing light and visualization to support emotional balance and energetic alignment. Using the vibration of color to affect mood, energy, or physiological responses.

    Crystal Healing Places specific stones on and around the body to amplify healing, protection, balance energy and support specific healing intentions.

    Qi Gong Energy work that guides the natural flow of Qi (vital energy), helping to strengthen and balance your internal energy systems.

    Reiki Channels universal life force energy to clear energetic blockages and support deep relaxation.

    Sound Therapy With crystal singing bowls and tuning forks uses therapeutic vibrations to calm the nervous system, clear stagnant energy, and raise your energetic frequency.

    Disclaimer While these methods can support the body’s natural healing process, they are not a replacement for conventional medical evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment. They are best used in tandem with, not in place of, conventional medical or psychological care.

  • Electrical Healing Tools

    Can enhance acupuncture treatments using safe, low-level electrical tools to support the body's energetic flow, reduce pain, and amplify results.

    Here's a quick breakdown of some supportive tools:

    Ion Pumping Cords (IPCs)
    These are passive, non-powered cords that connect two acupuncture needles using alligator clips and a one-way diode. They help draw out "excess" energy from one area and nourish areas that feel depleted, restoring harmony in a very subtle and natural way. This method is often used in Japanese acupuncture to support deep energetic balancing, especially in cases of trauma, scars, or stuck emotional patterns.

    Dolphin Neurostimulation (Dolphin MPS Therapy)
    This handheld microcurrent device delivers gentle electrical impulses directly onto acupuncture points or trigger points without needles. It’s especially helpful for pain relief, scar tissue, fascia release, and calming the nervous system. Think of it as a modern acupressure tool with a nervous system reset button. It’s excellent for sensitive patients, or those who may not prefer traditional needling.

    Electro-Acupuncture (E-Stim/Electric Stimulation)
    This technique uses a small electrical current delivered through acupuncture needles placed in specific points. It helps stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation, and relieve chronic pain or muscular issues. The sensation is usually a gentle tapping or pulsing—never shocking or uncomfortable.

    What’s the Difference?

    Subtle vs. Stimulating: Ion Pumping Cords move energy passively and subtly—ideal for sensitive systems. Electro-acupuncture and Dolphin are more stimulating and active—ideal for chronic or stubborn conditions.

    Needles vs. Non-Needles: Dolphin is needle-free. IPCs and Electro-Acupuncture both require needle placement to work.

    Traditional vs. Modern: IPCs stem from Japanese meridian theory, while Dolphin and Electro-Acupuncture blend modern bioelectric therapy with ancient wisdom.

Definitions

  • Acupuncture

    A form of natural health care used to treat a wide range of conditions, with clinical evidence supporting its effectiveness—especially for pain relief. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it’s based on the understanding that the body has a vital life force called Qi (pronounced chee) that flows through energetic pathways called meridians. Stimulating acupuncture points help to smooth the flow of Qi and blood throughout the body, clearing stagnation and awakening the body’s natural ability to heal. It’s a practice of restoring balance, easing discomfort, and returning you to homeostasis.

    Acupressure

    Gentle yet firm pressure on key points along the body’s meridians to restore balance, relieve pain, and encourage natural healing.  

  • Applied Kinesiology (Intuitive Muscle Testing)

    Applied Kinesiology is a technique that uses the strength of a muscle response to test for imbalances or find therapeutic remedies. It is used to assess your body’s responses to various stimuli, like foods, thoughts, or emotions. This non-invasive method helps identify imbalances or sensitivities, guiding your healing process by uncovering hidden stressors that might be affecting your well-being. It’s an intuitive way to fine-tune your treatment and address specific areas that need attention.

    Does not diagnose illness—it's for energy balancing or supplement selection only.

  • Cupping Therapy

    An ancient healing technique that uses suction from special cups to lift the skin and fascia, increasing circulation, relieving stagnation, and encouraging the free flow of Qi and blood. Often leaving signature circular marks, this therapy draws out tension, toxins, and trapped emotions, creating space for deep release and restoration.

  • Dermatomes

    A specialized technique that targets nerve pathways to reduce discomfort, restore nerve function, and enhance overall sensation. 

  • EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques)

    Is a powerful, gentle method that involves tapping on specific acupressure points on the body while focusing on emotional or physical concerns. It’s a somatic release technique. This process helps to release energetic blockages, reduce stress, and shift negative thought patterns. By combining the power of touch with mindful focus, EFT helps restore balance to the body's energy system, promoting emotional healing and physical relief. It can be effective for issues like anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, and limiting beliefs, helping you process emotions to feel more grounded, clear, and at ease.

  • Himalayan Salt Lamps

    More than just a calming aesthetic. These natural mineral crystals are believed to release negative ions, gently purifying the air and neutralizing electromagnetic stress.

  • Medical Massage

    A targeted, outcome-based form of therapeutic bodywork designed to address specific health concerns or injuries diagnosed by a healthcare professional. Unlike general relaxation massage, medical massage focuses on relieving pain, restoring function, and improving range of motion through evidence-informed techniques.
    It may include myofascial release, trigger point therapy, neuromuscular re-education, and stretching protocols—applied with precision and clinical intention. A session can be tailored to your unique needs, whether you're recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or seeking relief from muscular imbalances. Medical massage is both a science and a sacred practice—where healing meets anatomy, and function meets intuition.

  • Moxa (Moxibustion)

    A warming therapy that uses the heat from burning the Chinese Herb Ai Ye (Mugwort/Artemisia) to promote circulation, reduce pain, nourish the flow of qi, move stagnant qi, and dispel cold by warming and stimulating acupoints. Moxibustion (Moxa) is a universal technique that has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for over thousands of years. It has an even longer history than acupuncture.

  • Myofascial Release

    Myofascial Release
    Myofascial Release is a gentle, hands-on therapy that targets the fascia—the connective tissue web surrounding muscles, bones, and organs. When the fascia becomes tight or restricted due to injury, stress, or postural habits, it can create deep-seated pain and limit movement. Through sustained, intentional pressure and subtle stretching, Myofascial Release works to unwind these restrictions, restoring fluidity, easing discomfort, and rebalancing the body from the inside out.
    This technique is not forceful—it’s intuitive, patient work that honors the body’s natural rhythm.

  • Reflexology

    Targeted pressure applied to reflex points on the feet or hands to stimulate organs, improve circulation, and support overall body health. You’re not just stimulating tissue; you’re opening pathways for Qi to move.  

  • Trigger Point Therapy

    Direct pressure on specific knots in muscles (trigger points) to release chronic tension and relieve referred pain.

  • Tuina (Tui Na)

    A form of Chinese medical massage rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), used for thousands of years to restore balance in the body by stimulating the flow of Qi and blood through the meridians. As a certified medical massage therapist, I integrate Tuina techniques to address musculoskeletal issues, support internal organ health, and promote overall healing without the use of needles.

  • Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Terms

    Acupoint
    A specific point on a meridian where Qi can be accessed. These are the points that are needled, pressed, or stimulated.

    Dampness / Heat / Cold / Wind / Dryness
    Patterns used to describe imbalances in the body. For example, “Dampness” might show up as heaviness, fatigue, or phlegm.

    Meridians
    Invisible pathways through which Qi flows. There are 12 primary meridians, each connected to an organ and emotion.

    Qi (Chi)
    Life force energy that flows through the body’s meridians. When Qi is balanced, we feel well. When it’s blocked or deficient, we experience symptoms or dis-ease.

    Tongue & Pulse Diagnosis
    A diagnostic technique in Traditional Chinese Medicine used to assess internal patterns of imbalance. The tongue reflects the condition of internal organs, body fluids, and the depth of imbalance. The pulse, taken at three positions on each wrist, reveals the strength, flow, and quality of your Qi, blood, and organ function. Together, they provide a nuanced picture of your body’s internal state.

    Zang Fu Organs
    The energetic organ systems in Chinese medicine (e.g., Liver, Spleen, Heart) that reflect physical and emotional function, not just anatomy.
