Treatment Description
Treatments may be sought for rejuvenation, restoration, relaxation, stress and pain reduction, or to address specific health concerns. The Medical Qigong and
Asian Bodywork sections contain general information about treatments.

The one hour session begins with a short interview about your health, which is followed by the actual treatment, and then concludes with gentle movement prescriptions as well as recommended lifestyle changes to increase healing and restoration.

During a treatment, the doctor emits Qi towards the client via highly specialized Qi emission and guiding techniques. The doctor's intention is to purge, strengthen, and regulate the client's energetic matrix via the acupuncture points, meridians, and/or the internal organs. This is accomplished through physical manipulation (touch) or energetic projection (non touch) in accordance with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The doctor's aim is to improve overall health, which may include addressing specific disease patterns.

After treatment, the remaining time is taken to prescribe specific movement and breath exercises for the client to practice on their own time. These prescriptions, based in TCM theory, nurture and promote the effects of the treatments, and are tailored to the specific condition or issue the client wishes to address.

To reap the full benefits, a client should be prepared to receive several treatments, practice the energetic movement prescriptions, and adhere to suggested lifestyle changes.
