Holistic Health & Bodywork

This form of bodywork offers deep broad pressure performed by the therapist's feet.  Great for low-back pain as movements along the paraspinals open up intervertebral disc space allowing the nucleus to return to normal position within the annulus, thus relieving irritation to spinal nerves. Think of gravity assisted effleurage that will recharge your chi! 

Qigong Sensory Treatment (QST) Massage

Research shows that all children, regardless of language delays or abilities, benefit from QST autism massage. Unlike ABA therapy that works on language, QST autism massage works via the sense of touch. It is one of the few research-based autism treatments that improves skills in all children regardless of severity or language ability.

​​​Functional Medicine is a science based personalized medicine approach that focuses on the underlying root cause of chronic illness rather than treating the symptoms. We utilize functional lab testing, biochemical and genetic analysis for a client-centered approach to wellness.
