What you’ll get:
When you come to us for acupuncture, we use the most effective, time-tested techniques to address your health concerns. We’ll help you optimize your system’s natural energy flow and assist you in feeling better in body, mind, and spirit.
“But how does it work?”
According to classical acupuncture theory, your body is comprised of a vast watershed, a system of interconnected waterways that have but one job: to keep you healthy and living your best life.
These channels are ruled by your internal organs. Further—just like, say, your heart and lungs—they are constantly at work, nourishing and directing your body’s every cellular function.
When flowing properly, the channels are wellsprings of vibrant health. When they dry up, or become swampy, or flow improperly, your body begins to feel different, under pressure, like something is not right.
Since these subtle differences and discomforts are, in fact, the harbingers of greater dis-ease and bodily dysfunction, you’ll often feel better immediately when we help to create flow where once your body felt stuck.
Counseling
The mindful, somatic counseling methods I utilize draw on my training through the META Institute, and are informed by the Hakomi method, the Re-creation of the Self Model of Human Systems, somatic trauma release methods, and Primary Attachment Psychotherapy.
Massage Therapy
At Dragon Rises Center for Wholeness, we prioritize using modalities that encourage stillness and integration. Each bodywork session is derived from a place of deep listening, allowing the body to guide the session. Together we tap into the stillness to allow for the inherent wisdom of the body to speak. The day we meet, we focus on your immediate needs as well as long term goals and conditions. Sessions open the space for release, unwinding, pain relief, and relaxation.
