Energy Balancing Treatments

A Qigong energy treatment is specific to each individual and their condition. You can expect a unique experience focused on balancing and harmonizing your body's energy. To help me understand your specific needs and tailor the treatment accordingly, I will send you an initial questionnaire to learn about your health history, concerns, emotional state and goals. Qigong treatments work to clear stagnation, harmonize imbalances and strengthen your body's natural healing capacity.

To begin, you are guided to relax and find a comfortable position, either sitting or lying down. I employ gentle movements or light touch to sense and manipulate your body's flow of Qi (energy). Throughout the treatment, various Qigong techniques, including sound therapy, are used to improve the flow of Qi in your body. The aim is to remove blockages, nourish your organ systems, replenish energy, and restore vitality. During the treatment, you may experience different sensations, such as warmth, tingling, or a have visualizations. Each person's experience is distinctive, and you may feel a deep sense of calm or a release of tension. Depending on individual preferences, various avenues exist for exploration during the treatment. Discussing one's feelings or any emerging thoughts or simply embracing the silence to relax and reflect on the experiences are all viable and valuable possibilities during the treatment.

The duration of a Qigong energy treatment is 45-60 minutes. After the session, I recommend movements to continue supporting your energy balance and well-being and share insights on my findings.

Overall, a Qigong energy treatment provides an opportunity to connect with and cultivate your body's natural energy, promoting relaxation, balance, and overall well-being.
