Acupressure stems from the same rich theory and history as Acupuncture. However, instead of needles, the practitioner uses light finger pressure. This is applied to a sequence of points that is uniquely tailored to you, the client, to address presenting imbalances.

By encouraging healthy Blood and Chi (Energy) flow, Acupressure helps to restore balance and health to the physical, emotional and spiritual body.

There is no pain or discomfort experienced in a session. Clients remain full clothed, leaving with symptoms alleviated and a pathway to healing activated.

Yes, absolutely.

Acupressure works by balancing the energy in the body and increasing blood flow. It can also help to reduce pain. I often see clients for back pain and hip pain. I have been told many times by happy clients how their pain has decreased and their mobility has increased following a session. You can expect to feel relief from session one, but a treatment plan is recommended to ensure prolonged benefit.

It absolutely can!

Relieving stress and anxiety using acupressure is one of my passions.

Acupressure works by balancing the body's energy (chi) and ensuring the free flow of chi throughout the body. It also helps to increase blood flow, relaxes the body and mind and grounds the spirit.

I often see clients for stress and anxiety and I am repeatedly told by my clients how grounded they feel following a session.

You will lie on a massage table fully clothed.

I will begin by asking your symptoms. Then I will take your pulses, found at the wrists, the pulses are recognised by Acupressure to inform practitioners of the energy available in the organ systems, and hence the body. With this information, I am able to put together a treatment plan unique to you that is best suited to balancing your energy and helping to relieve your symptoms.

To conduct the treatment session, I will hold pairs of Acupressure points on the body, until the stuck energy is released. Using a sequence of these points, energy will flow throughout your body, and excess energy will move to areas of deficiency, creating balance with the body. You may or may not be able to feel the energy flowing within your body, but you will likely feel relaxed and refreshed as the session goes on. 

If your symptoms are recent, it may be easier to bring your body back into balance. However, if you have held onto them for a long time, then a return to health can take longer. Regardless of what healing you may be seeking, you can expect to feel some benefit from the first one or two sessions. 

By working to bring balance to the energy in the body, instead of treating the symptoms, Acupressure can bring balance to the mind, body and spirit all at once.
