TUINA and SHIATSU
Tuina means “push pull,” Shiatsu means “finger pressure” and both are hands-on styles of working the muscles and soft tissue of the body along with the energy lines and acupuncture points, to encourage relaxation and wellness by opening up the body’s defensive qi and get the energy moving in the meridians and muscles. All can be used in conjunction with acupuncture to moderate/correct your body’s qi.

COSMETIC & FACIAL ACUPUNCTURE
Less invasive, less costly and with no “down time” associated with surgical procedures, cosmetic and facial acupuncture is the choice for a healthier approach to increasing the physical and facial appearance.

Utilizing the Mei Zen™ technique, we work together to balance the total health of your body by looking at: water intake, diet, exercise, smoking and tobacco use. As in traditional acupuncture, this is a holistic approach to treatment, making you feel better overall.

To begin, an initial series of 10 treatment sessions within 5 weeks is recommended. Follow-up treatments every 4-6 weeks are suggested for maintenance.

REJUVANESSENCE™
Also known as the “Fingertip Facelift,” Rejuvanessence is performed with a light touch from the pad of the finger, which releases the connective tissue found in the layers of the skin. The connective tissue can store stress, emotions and tension. When stored stress is released, the elasticity and flexibility of the skin are restored, leaving your face fresh and rejuvenated. In addition, acupuncture points located on the head are stimulated and activated to release healing energy to flow through the body. You’re left with a feeling of well being and deep relaxation. Rejuvanessence’s many benefits include:

• Improved complexion

• Facial skin becomes more hydrated, which strengthens, protects and    preserves collagen in the deeper layers of the skin.

• The face looks fuller and more relaxed.

An entire series of 6 sessions, each working in a different section of the face, is recommended for the full effect.
