Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body.
Acupuncture is based on the concept that the body possesses a network of channels or meridians that reflect the internal organ system. By manipulating these channels through needle insertion, circulation of blood, fluids, and nutrients can be facilitated to nourish the targeted tissues or organs. This process encourages the body to regain balance and promote healing.
During an acupuncture session, the practitioner will first conduct a thorough assessment to understand the individual's symptoms, medical history, and overall health. Based on this evaluation, the practitioner will determine the specific acupuncture points to be targeted.
The acupuncture needles used are very thin, solid, and sterile. They are typically inserted into the skin to a depth that can vary depending on the location and condition being treated. The insertion is generally painless or may cause a mild sensation. Once the needles are in place, they may be gently manipulated or stimulated by the practitioner.
Acupuncture is used to address a wide range of health conditions, including pain management, musculoskeletal disorders, digestive issues, respiratory problems, stress-related conditions, fertility concerns, and many others. It is often used in conjunction with other traditional Chinese medicine techniques, such as herbal medicine, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle recommendations, to provide a holistic approach to healing.

Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a form of therapeutic bodywork that originated in Japan. It is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and incorporates elements of acupressure, stretching, and massage techniques. The word "shiatsu" itself means "finger pressure" in Japanese, highlighting the main method used in this practice.
During a shiatsu session, the practitioner applies rhythmic pressure and gentle stretching to specific points and areas of the body. These points correspond to the energy pathways, or meridians, in the body that are also utilized in acupuncture and acupressure. By stimulating these points and working along the meridians, shiatsu aims to restore balance and improve the flow of vital energy, known as "qi" or "ki" in traditional Chinese medicine.
Shiatsu is typically performed with the recipient fully clothed, and no oils or lotions are used. The practitioner uses their fingers, thumbs, palms, elbows, or knees to apply pressure and manipulate the body's tissues. The pressure can vary in intensity, depending on the individual's needs and preferences.
Whether you are experiencing stress, orthopedic issues, or digestion problems, receiving a shiatsu session will improve your well-being and restore your balance.

The tools used in Shonishin therapy include rounded instruments, brushes, tapping tools, and other gentle devices that are applied to the skin with rhythmic, light strokes, or gentle pressure. These techniques are aimed at stimulating the child's meridians, harmonizing their energy flow, and promoting overall health and well-being.
