Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a whole body healing modality using palms and thumbs to penetrate specific acupressure points along meridian channels to relax, heal and correct the body using pulsing or rhythmic pressure.
Shiatsu focuses on the meridian channels interconnected throughout our body. Meridian channels have been described as rivers or energy highways that carry Qi, the vital life force. When the channels are blocked or we are not in balance, our bodies are more susceptible to stress, pain, injury and illness. Homeostasis occurs when the channels are in balance and the fluids and Qi flow. Shiatsu is deeply relaxing

Shiatsu is effective in helping with:

Insomnia - Anxiety - Depression - Muscular Tension - Headaches - Digestive Disturbances
Menstrual Dysfunction - Low Resistance to Infection - Backaches - Sprains and Strains
Neck and Shoulder Stiffness - Joint Pain

Alchemical Transformational Treatment Sessions

Are you living the best life you could live?

Alchemical healing is about transformation and releasing what no longer serves us and becoming the best version of ourselves. The ancient Daoists believed we all come into this life with a curriculum, the curriculum of our lifetime is full of life experiences. Are you on your true authentic path? Have you deviated? What have you come here to do in this lifetime and what are the obstacles that are holding you back? Alchemy can help all of us to understand ourselves on a deeper level. These treatment sessions are done using a vibrational technique on specific pressure points, playing music from a wide ranging playlist to give a voice to the heart. We all have a story and our stories are influenced by many things; old heart pains, emotional triggers, trauma, self doubt, family struggles and many times deep habitual negative self talk.

The Thirteen Ghost Points

A ghost (Gui) is like a hook: it hooks into you and is anything that is not true such as inaccurate
beliefs about yourself, obsessive thinking or emotional or physical trauma.

The 13 Ghost Point Treatment Session is an Alchemical treatment (lasting 6-8 hours.) Using vibrational acupressure and music, this session can help the release of old baggage, trauma and experiences that can hold us back from being the best version of our own selves. The full effects of the treatment can take 3-6 months to unfold and can truly be life changing. Please note: There is a 1.5 hour follow up session the following day and a 3 month follow up session included in the session package.

Moxibustion Therapy

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves burning a herb called mugwort (Atremesia vulgaris) near certain acupuncture points on the body. It has been used for more tha 2500 years and grows all over the world including here in Vinalhaven. The heat helps stimulate circulation, promotes healing, and balances the flow of energy in the body. Moxibustion can be perfromed in various forms, such as direct and indirect moxibusiton, either directly next to the skin or above and is often used in combination with the shiatsu and alchemy sessions to enhance the overall therapeutic effect.

Gua Sha

Gua sha is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves scraping the skin using a tool that could be a Chinese soup spoon or a smooth edged stone to improve circulation. This technique releases tension, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing. Gua sha can be used on various parts of the body, such as the neck, back, shoulders and limbs. The pressure applied during the gua sha helps to break up stagnant energy, allowing it to flow more freely throughout the body. The practice is often used to alleviate pain, headaches, stiffness and helps to release colds.

Cupping

Cupping is a therapeutic technique that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This suction helps to increase blood flow to the area, relieve muscle tension, and promote relaxation. The cups are usually left in place for several minutes in addition to being moved around to target specific areas. It is often used in conjunction with other therapies to help improve circulation and alleviate pain.
