What to Expect
Sessions begin with an in depth conversation about your health and treatment goals. I may examine your tongue, feel your pulse, and ask questions about sleep, digestion, stress, or energy.
The treatment itself is gentle and relaxing—many clients feel deeply rested, calm, or subtly energized afterwards.
