Healing Essence Acupressure Therapy and Xiao Dao Laser Treatments

From Paula’s website www.wakeupqi.com:

“Acupressure is a clothes-on method. Recipients lie on their backs, warmed with light-weight blankets and supported by a cushion under the knees, head, and neck as desired, for comfort.  I begin each session by asking what the recipient would like to focus on for the session. It could be something physical like a kink in the shoulder or a cramp in the leg, or it might be an overall feeling of stress. I begin and end the session by offering a head, neck, shoulder release. At the end of the session, I like to end with a gentle foot massage for centering and grounding.

During our time together, the recipient guides the pace and flow. Acupressure is an interactive modality: the recipient is always encouraged to ask for more or less pressure, or for points to be held longer. Need another blanket? Just ask. Need a cushion to be adjusted? Just ask. We might talk or not – a little or a lot. Sometimes recipients relax so deeply they fall into a deeply refreshing sleep.

A client once described her acupressure session as time spent floating on a raft. It is a relaxation therapy and when used with standard medical treatment, can assist in the healing process by releasing tension, decreasing stress and encouraging a sense of increased well-being.
