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.
